Lindsey Willingham Office Manager GPS Electrical ServiceOffice: 406.581.3536 www.gpselectricservice.com STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS FOR CONTRACTORS-ALL TRADES AND SERVICES PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT, CITY OF BOZEMAN Submitted By: Green Power Systems LLC dba GPS Electric Address: 3588 Elk River Rd, Billings, MT 59101 Contact Person: Lindsey Willingham, Office Manager Phone: 406-581-3536 Email: office@gpselectricmt.com Date:August27,2026 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Green Power Systems LLC dba GPS Electric is pleased to submit this Statement of Qualifications to the City of Bozeman Parks and Recreation Department. As an established, high-volume Montana electrical contractor, we possess the licensing, financial depth, and specialized field experience required to deliver premier trade services, preventative maintenance, and rapid emergency troubleshooting across the City's regional infrastructure footprints. We are fully prepared to enter the pre-qualified contractor call pool and execute individual task orders up to the $79,999 maximum threshold with maximum efficiency, safety, and code compliance. I.FIRM INFORMATION & BACKGROUND 1.Firm History and Overview Green Power Systems LLC dba GPS Electric is a premier licensed, bonded, and fully insured electrical contractor headquartered at 3588 Elk River Rd, Billings, MT 59101. Founded in 2010, our firm has built a 16-year track record of high-quality craftsmanship, strict electrical code compliance, and an exemplary field safety record across the state of Montana. GPS Electric specializes in comprehensive commercial, industrial, and residential electrical trades-delivering core services that include structural wiring, power distribution, energy-efficient upgrades, preventative maintenance, and emergency electrical troubleshooting. All administrative coordination and client communications are centrally managed through our office, led by our Office Manager, Lindsey Willingham. 2.Financial and Bonding Capacities GPS Electric maintains excellent financial health, deep economic stability, and steady annual marketplace growth in Montana. Our firm operates with an annual gross revenue of over $5,000,000. This exceptional financial strength is backed by premier credit relationships and substantial liquid cash flows, enabling our field crews to fund and execute multiple large-scale, concurrent public trade contracts effortlessly without any supply chain or labor delays. To support this operational volume, we maintain a commercial single-project bonding capacity of $500,000 and an aggregate bonding capacity of $1,000,000. These strong financial risk limits completely clear the $79,999 maximum single-project cap designated under this City of Bozeman term contract pool. 3.Strengths, Weaknesses, and Special Capabilities •Strengths: Massive operational capacity for major developments, high-end residential and commercial master-level trade craftsmanship, immediate mobilization metrics for emergency repair dispatch, and an untarnished 16-year safety record. •Special Capabilities: Comprehensive electrical setup for sports parks, outdoor athletic lighting arrays, energy-efficient park pathway LED automation, custom architectural control layouts, and critical low-voltage or high-voltage grounding systems for public aquatic/splash pad infrastructure. •Weaknesses (Constructive): Our crew specializes exclusively in high-level electrical systems and trade tasks. We do not maintain in-house divisions for non-electrical civil infrastructure like heavy grading, paving, or plumbing. However, this trade precision ensures the City avoids layered general contractor markups, receiving master electrical expertise directly at cost-effective rates. II.PRESENT AND PROJECTED WORKLOADS Our team actively tracks field schedules using secure, cloud-based milestones to guarantee that municipal calls, seasonal preventative tasks, and critical safety hazards are handled immediately. •Current Commitments: GPS Electric is currently acting as the exclusive primary electrical contractor managing total system wiring and panel deployment for all Infinity Homes regional footprints. Additionally, we are managing the active, elite-tier custom system integrations for Josh Lee with Big Horn Customs in Bozeman, MT. •Projected Capacity: Because of our scaled operational framework and multi-million dollar business model, we split dedicated crews between continuous long-term development builds and rapid-response contract tasks. Beginning October 2026-aligning with the City's contract commencement timeline-GPS Electric has strategically reserved 35% of our regional vehicle fleet and technician capacity exclusively for City task orders. This structure provides the Parks and Recreation team with an on-demand workforce for emergency utility maintenance and quick code repairs. 111.PERSONNEL QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE Every field technician assigned to Bozeman Parks and Recreation facility task orders carries up-to­ date Montana licensing and comprehensive workplace safety credentials. •Brandon Matz, Owner & Master Electrician: A licensed electrician since 2006, Brandon brings 20 years of comprehensive commercial, residential, and custom industrial electrical experience to the firm. Brandon holds a valid Montana Master Electrician License and directly oversees all corporate estimations, municipal code tracking, corporate contract adherence, and safety blueprints for GPS Electric. •Brent Bell, Owner & Journeyman Electrician: Extensive hands-on experience across complex trade layouts and high-end residential custom builds.
