DRAWER 747 TELEPHONE 817/297-2251 CROWLEY, TEXAS 76036 October 5, 1988 This letter is being written as a reference for Mr. Ali Pirouz. To Whom It May Concern: As the Chief of Police in Crowley, Texas <·1 . worked very closely with Pircuz and Associates on an extensive renovation project. Early in 1988 bid specifications were let for the rt!îí()- vation of a preexisting commercial building to be converted into a police and jail facility. Bids came in at approxima tely25% over budget. Ali Pirouz being the low bid worked wi th myself and Komatsu and Associates, our architect, to reduce the cost. Pirouz was awarded the bid which was reduced to slightly over budget. He agreed to actually include additional work which was not: in the initial bid specs. Mr. Pirouz displayed very good common sense and had a go'od appraisal ina "short ti·me .;¡:of our real nee,ds ft Mr. Pireuz ini tiated constructio.n as .scheduled as th~ gene.ral contractor. Mr. Pirouz displayed a very high professional manner in dealing with . sub-contractors., inspectors, the architects as well as our personnel. He has a special ability to identify problem areas when trans- lating specifications and architectural drawings to actual finished work product. He completed work ahead of schedule and the finished product was excellent. Mr. Pirouz faced. a very challenging experience due to the fact that this was a-·renovation project with many problems. Mr. Pirouz turned this particular facility into I believe a show place for a police department. My experience working with Pirouz was very positive. He corrected many existing problems in the initial facility without overburdening our budget. I would not hesi tate in any manner to llighly recommend any commercial or jail project that Mr. :Pirouz would bid.
