If the Joint Venture partners have never worked together on similar jobs, so indicate. However, if the firms have worked together on other type jobs, include these and address the working relationships on those jobs.

2.1.4 References should be provided for all past performance submitted on a Project Detail Sheet or its equivalent. The Offeror may identify past or current contracts (including Federal, State, local government and private) for recent and relevant work by submitting completed Past Performance Questionnaires on Form PPQ-0 (“PPQ”) included at the end of this section.

The PPQ included in the solicitation is provided for the offeror and its team members to submit to the client for each project the offeror includes in its proposal for this factor.
