Vendor Experience Documentation Forms 7-21-25~5.docx

This is a Vendor Experience Documentation Form for a state and local contract opportunity in Illinois involving work with endangered and threatened species in natural areas. The form requires the vendor's owner or primary field contact person to document relevant project experience that meets specific job specifications. Reference projects must be from sites within natural communities included on the Illinois Natural Areas Inventory with high floristic quality, dedicated Nature Preserves, or registered Land and Water Reserves. The form provides space for documentation of up to four reference projects, with each entry requiring the project name and location, reference contact information, native plant community type (such as prairie, wetland, or forest), land use type (such as Nature Preserve, State Park, or municipal park), approximate acreage, type of work completed, and completion date.

The form also requires documentation of the vendor's onsite staff experience to ensure compliance with job specifications. Staff substitutions are permitted at the time of work as long as the onsite staff meet the experience requirements for the specific project. The vendor must provide staff names and start dates along with their relevant experience documentation. At least one reference project must demonstrate the required number of years of experience, and substitution of the primary field contact is acceptable provided the replacement meets all stated experience qualifications.
