Executive Summary
Comfort Systems USA – TRS (TRS) is pleased to submit this proposal to provide HVAC Preventative
Maintenance Services for City of Bozeman facilities in the total contract amount of $55,031. As a subsidiary of
Comfort Systems USA, a national leader in mechanical services, TRS brings the stability, depth of expertise,
and proven operational discipline expected from one of the most established HVAC service organizations in the
United States.
Founded in 1997, Comfort Systems USA has grown into a publicly traded company operating through a
nationwide network of local service providers, supporting thousands of public- and private-sector customers
across the country. This structure uniquely positions TRS to deliver local service execution backed by national
resources, best practices, and long-term financial strength. The City of Bozeman benefits from a partner that is
not only capable today, but built for continuity and reliability over the life of the contract.
TRS’s preventative maintenance approach is rooted in asset protection, risk reduction, and operational
consistency. We understand that municipal facilities support essential public services and must perform reliably
year-round, particularly in Montana’s challenging climate. Our maintenance program is designed to reduce
unexpected failures, extend equipment life, improve system efficiency, and align with manufacturer
recommendations and industry standards—maximizing the City’s return on investment in its HVAC assets.
Our team consists of experienced, certified HVAC professionals trained to service a broad range of mechanical
systems, including rooftop units, boilers, furnaces, chillers, air handlers, ventilation systems, and controls. All
work is performed using standardized inspection procedures and documented service protocols to ensure
consistent quality across all facilities. Detailed service documentation and condition reporting provide
transparency, accountability, and actionable insight for City staff.
Comfort Systems USA – TRS places a strong emphasis on safety, communication, and accountability. A
dedicated service coordinator and account representative will manage scheduling, reporting, and coordination
with City personnel to ensure efficient execution with minimal disruption to building occupants. Any identified
deficiencies are clearly communicated with practical recommendations and cost transparency.
Selecting Comfort Systems USA – TRS provides the City of Bozeman with a proven, financially stable, and
highly accountable partner that combines national experience with local service delivery. Our longevity, scale,
and disciplined maintenance practices ensure dependable performance, consistent value, and stewardship of
public facilities. We appreciate the opportunity to submit this proposal and look forward to supporting the
City’s HVAC preventative maintenance needs.
Our Strength
Contractors are frequently asked tough questions about their financial strength and
staying power. We want to proactively address some of the questions you might have
when evaluating us and our competitors. For more than 25 consecutive years, even
during the steep drop after September 11, 2001, the financial crisis, and a global
pandemic, we have been profitable and had positive free cash flow every year.
How strong is your balance sheet?
With more than $5.0 billion in revenue in 2023, our company has a rock-solid
foundation. We faithfully maintain one of the most consistently strong balance sheets
in our industry. We have great relationships with vendors and suppliers, as we are
one of their largest customers in the world. Because they know we will always pay
reliably, we get the best prices, terms, and delivery. We are publicly traded on the New
York Stock Exchange and you can look up our complete financials on our website or
through the Securities and Exchange Commission’s online resources (NYSE:FIX).
What is your bonding capacity?
In light of our financial strength and our track record, our bonding companies do not
have express limits on our bonding facilities. We bond hundreds of millions in work
each year at the extremely low bonding rates. If you want a bond, we are happy to
oblige.
Do you have a credit agreement? When does it expire, and can you
continue to meet the financial conditions?
We have a credit facility led by Wells Fargo, NA composed of a revolving credit line in
the amount of $850 million. It is not scheduled to expire until 2027, and we have been
assured we can extend it whenever we choose. We have done business with the same
banks for more than a decade. Our facility contains two simple financial covenants, a
minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum net leverage ratio. On December 31,
2023 we exceeded our minimum required interest coverage ratio by well over 500%, and
we had over $779 million of unused capacity. You can read our credit agreement at any
time in our public filings.
Should we hire you just because you are financially strong?
You should hire us because our consistent performance has combined with prudent
management to provide the financial strength that we describe. The source of our
strength is 20+ consecutive years of positive free cash flow. In our industry there
is only one reliable source of cash... satisfied customers.
Thank you for considering us as partners!
