you may have as well. Let me tell you a little about what we bring to the table.
Experience-Our team has been providing CM/GC services to private entities for over two decades.Our
team was one of the first in the State of Idaho to provide CM/GC services to public entities when this delive-
ry method was authorized for public use in 2014. We understand the bid process; we understand how to
serve you during preconstruction and construction. This is a unique process. Not all quality builders make
first class Construction Manager/General Contractors. Your project calls for a seasoned team of experts.

your facilities and your team. With Starr as your CM,there won't be any wasted time getting to know facili-
ties, people,or processes; we are ready to go to work.

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.

Company as their agent has had the privilege of providing surety performance and payment bonds for 30

reputation for excellent work and completing their jobs within budget. I can highly recommend Starr

construction.
Starr Corporation has extensive surety credit with Arch, and has never been involved in a claim dispute.
Arch would welcome the opportunity to arrange any necessary performance and payment bonds for what
ever projects you might award them. Naturally,the execution of any final bonds would be subject to a
review of the final contract terms, conditions and financing by our client and ourselves.

RE: Reference—Starr Construction
To Whom It May Concern:
As the person overseeing the construction projects for the Twin Falls School District,I welcome the
opportunity to provide a letter of recommendation for Starr Construction. 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.

+�+ To Whom It May Concern:
dDuring the Historic Rupert Square renovation, the City of Rupert worked closely with Michael
_ Arrington and the team at Starr Corporation. 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. I have no reservations in recommending
them for future work. Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions.

Re: Letter of Recommendation for Starr Corporation

To Whom it May Concern:
I am happy to provide this letter of recommendation for Starr Corporation and express my gratitude and
appreciation for a job well done.
Starr Corporation's services were engaged by Jerome County in 2020 to complete the 30 bed expansion
of our county jail. Mike Arrington and his team undertook a huge project,demonstrating and delivering
expert and competent service and work. They exhibited the highest level of integrity,ethics and fairness
and were thorough in meeting our expectations.
Should you decide to do business with Mike Arrington and Starr Corporation, I believe you will be
pleased with their quality of work and their commitment to excellence. They were very professional,
kept us informed throughout the entire process,and when issues arose,they quickly addressed them
and came through with solutions to make sure we were happy with the finished product.
I strongly recommend Starr Corporation and if you need any additional information,please feel free to
contact me.
Sincerely,

N Dear Brad&Jess,
a
It has been a few months since the completion of the Department of Nursing, Simulation Labs
OO project at BYU-Idaho and all seems to be running well. I want to express my personal
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.
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.
