Executive Summary
To:
City of Bozeman
Bozeman Parks & Recreation
Parks and Trails District I Irrigation Maintenance Services
Zone 1
PO Box 1230
Bozeman, MT 59771-1230
February 22, 2021
Greater Gallatin Contractors (GGC) has the ability and expertise needed to complete all site-specific
Irrigation Maintenance Services at each of the listed parks in Zone 1. Including: Irrigation system start up and
evaluation, irrigation system winterization, miscellaneous maintenance and troubleshooting, system
programming for routine sprinkler cycles, and repair and replacement of irrigation system components.
We are proud to say that GGC follows all EPA WaterSense guidelines when performing irrigation tasks.
Our goal is to not only maintain an irrigation system but take pride in the way the system functions. All
divisions keep a watchful eye out for any abnormalities in the system by looking for spots where water may be
pooling, or parts of turf where water may not be getting to. This means that not only does the Irrigation
Technician have an eye on the entirety of the system; but our Landscape Maintenance Team reports back
every time on site whether there was anything to be noted or investigated. Through this monitoring we can
anticipate and preemptively be on top of any issues that may arise, covering anything from a simple nozzle
replacement on a sprinkler head, to an entire system failure due to a mainline break.
GGC has been a member of the Irrigation Association for over 15 years. GGC employs knowledgeable
Irrigation Technicians and Installers who, combined, have over 50 years of experience and boast numerous
certifications, including three Irrigation Auditors, SWPPP Administrators, and much more. All our Technicians
are proficient and notably familiar with each part of an irrigation system, including state of the art
Weathermatic Controllers, which adjust the sprinkler run times dependent on weather - to help save water.
We pride ourselves on having a deep understanding of each system we work on, and we know that
each system presents its own challenges and issues. Through teamwork, mapping, and communication we are
confident in the work we do for our clients. If we are awarded this irrigation contract, we will spend time in
the beginning of the season mapping out each irrigation system within Zone 1. We will map out where
controllers, POC, quick couplers, valve boxes and any other important information regarding that system.
GGC is a full Landscape Installation, Landscape Maintenance and Landscape Irrigation company. Since
its founding over 17 years ago, GGC has acquired the equipment, knowledge, and experienced employees to
perform all the Irrigation Maintenance Services for the City of Bozeman Parks and Recreation Department.
