Executive Summary To: City of Bozeman Bozeman Parks & Recreation Parks and Trails District I Irrigation Maintenance Services Zone 2 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 2. 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 2. 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.
