Re:CM Qualifications-Twin Falls Animal Shelter Expansion Mandi- The team at Starr Corporation is pleased to see this project moving forward.We'd love the chance to continue our relationship with the City of Twin Falls and work together on this project.Let me tell you a little about what we bring to the table. Proven-Our team is a known provider to the City of Twin Falls.Over the last several years we have constructed multiple projects together. We are currently working together the Attorney Office and Police Station Lift Project and the Evidence Facility. We have faced cliff icuItsituations together.We have had great success together.Together we have improved our town.We're ready to continue serving you as we have over the past years. Experience with Laughlin Ricks-Not all CMGC's and Architects work well together.This can frustrate the project if these two arms of the team don't work well together. Laughlin Ricks and Starr Corporation currently are working on b CMGC projects as a team.We recently completed CMGC projects for Kimberly School District,Filer School District,and Family Health Services.Our team has a proven track record of working together to serve a varie- ty of project owners. We love what we do-Who wants to work with someone who comes to workjust to earn a check?Our team is comprised of professionals that love what they do. They intentionally choose the construction industry to earn a living. Their passion will show in your project. You'll see it in the quality of work on your project. Choose a team that loves what they do;you'll see a difference. We askforthe opportunity to serve as your Construction Manager.

Starr is currently the General Contractor/Construction Manager for three projects in the Twin Falls School District totaling approximately$13 million. I can honestly say I have truly enjoyed working with Starr on our school projects. These projects included a complicated remodel of an aging high school as well as the construction of a new addition to an existing school. In addition, Starr completed a remodel on our administration office. From the very first day of these projects they have demonstrated a commitment to excellence. It is apparent that integrity and quality are values that permeate their organization.Working tirelessly to maintain schedules and budgets,their staff are dedicated to the ultimate success of the project and the fulfillment of our goals and objectives. For a large organization,I compliment Starr for personalizing projects and really taking the time to understand the needs of the district and community. I am impressed by their commitment to quality and ability to manage our projects within budget. Starr has worked collaboratively with both our team and the design team to facilitate the project development and construction process in an effective,positive and transparent manner. Their team of construction professionals are easy to work with and bring a high level of commitment and added value to the construction process. Starr is truly a team player and I would highly recommend them for your project(s). If you have any questions,please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, 5 �.)

The City had the opportunity to work closely with 00 them on the large and complex revitalization of our Rupert Square and Fremont Avenue. It is with great enthusiasm that I write this letter of recommendation on their behalf. These projects consisted of master planning, grant application assistance, cost estimating, construction document preparation, bidding, and construction administration for the approximate $2,000,000 public investment in the Historic Rupert Square, surrounding streets, and adjacent Fremont Avenue next to the Historic Wilson Theater. Starr Corporation was chosen after a competitive bidding process for the majority of this renovation. We worked nearly continuously with The Starr Corporation, on these projects starting in 2013 until completion. Michael Arrington and Starr Corporation demonstrated impressive knowledge, commitment, and professionalism from the moment they started our projects. During the construction phase of each project, The Starr Corporation facilitated excellent communication between the contractor team, architects and us;they kept the project well organized. At all steps of the project,we had opportunities for input and the outcome of the project. The Starr Corporation listened and ensured the projects met our community needs. While working with Starr Corporation, I felt that we were working as a team toward a common goal. Their attention to detail and enthusiasm for the project ensured a smooth process throughout the multiple phases of all projects. I enjoy working with Star Corporation, and believe them to be very capable of executing a city revitalization project and public infrastructure project.

Starr Corp has successfully completed several major renovations for our district.They transformed what was once a small storage and technology office space into a fully functional and professional district office.This new facility now includes a welcoming reception area,five private office spaces,a conference room,a community room,and two single-stall restrooms. Additionally,Starr Corp oversaw the complete remodel of our auditorium,which had not been updated since its original construction in 1943.The results have been nothing short of exceptional,breathing new life into a facility that now serves as a centerpiece for our school and community events.Currently,they are leading the renovation of an old"field house,"turning what was once another underutilized storage space into a vibrant home for our after-school program. Throughout every project, Starr Corp has consistently demonstrated professionalism,expertise, and genuine collaboration.Their team listens carefully to our vision and works diligently to bring it to life while also offering creative and practical solutions we might not have considered. They are proactive in anticipating potential challenges,transparent about timelines and budgets, and meticulous in their attention to even the smallest details. Communication with Starr Corp is always clear,timely,and respectful;when questions or concerns arise,they respond quickly and thoroughly.Their ability to balance quality workmanship with efficiency has made every project run smoothly and with minimal disruption to our district's daily operations.Most importantly, they approach their work with integrity and a true commitment to meeting the needs of both our schools and our community. They have earned our trust through their commitment to quality and their ability to deliver results that exceed expectations I give STARR Corporation my highest recommendation without reservation.They are a five-star partner in every sense,and any organization would be fortunate to work with them.

I want to express my personal d appreciation for having been able to work with you both on the project and thank Starr Corporation for helping to make the project a success. 00 One element that made a difference in the success of the project was your diligent efforts in seeking solutions to maintain the projects tight time line constraints. For instance,when the door frames would not have shipped in time to keep the schedule on track,you flew a guy to the manufacturers location in order to drive the door frames back in a rented truck to keep the project on schedule. Not only this,but you shined through in the little things as well,such as adjusting the location of a clock that had been properly installed per the drawings,but in my opinion,needed to be centered between the adjacent transom windows. Your willingness to adjust a small detail in order to meet an aesthetic desire is an action that caused Starr Corporation to step forward in my mind as a company that cares about their client's end goals and personal feelings of success. Another aspect of Starr Corporations work that I noted was your ability to adjust the work flow as needed to take care of the unplanned for items that inevitably arise during construction. Two such items that stand out to me were the unknown dryer vent from the floor below that needed to be rerouted to fall within the new wall layout on its way to the roof and the electrical junction box with bare live wires that was hidden beneath the carpeting. Taking care of the unanticipated in a timely manner in order to keep the project moving forward,is an invaluable attribute. My final thought is that I appreciate your willingness to have adjusted the already completed headwalls to meet the revised needs of the faculty and students. It must have been disheartening to tear open the newly finished walls to make the adjustments,nonetheless,the walls were opened and rebuilt to new specifications,and not only finished to look good but more importantly to meet the needs of the faculty and students that will use the simulation lab for years to come. Thank you for all your efforts in helping this project to be a success. Best wishes with your future endeavors.
