The reality of references is that you give good references to those you want to get rid of, and bad references to those you want to keep.

Some tell me that every commercial building needs them. Others say all new construction. Some want sprinklers with every change of use, even if the fire hazard is downgraded (Lumber Warehouse to Steel Warehouse)
With installed sprinkler systems running about $5 @ sq ft, this is a big issue.

Offer them $150,000 and let them come to you.
Flat out tell the guy his comps suck, like Nancy said.
Don't worry about insulting them or hurting their feelings, you're the one with the money.
