GPSI was our subcontractor for the construction of the water play elements at our facility. Their knowledge, expertise, experience and dedication were true assets in completing our project. As with most projects there are things that did not turn out as expected but this was not from a lack of their expertise or dedication. I would highly recommend GPSI to anyone looking for a great company to install, design, or advise you on a water play feature or pool.

Chicago River Walk

I am pleased to present a letter of recommendation on behalf of GPSI (GPSI) for the successful completion of the Chicago Riverwalk project. Specifically, the Construction Management team of GPSI was available at all times and onsite during critical milestones of this project. Their consultation efforts provided a breadth of knowledge in a variety of forums, from phone calls and web-meetings to onsite direction of best practices in the field of water feature construction. Through the entire life cycle of the Riverwalk project, GPSI was a beacon of light.

GPSI’s noteworthy attitude amid changing and difficult conditions is a testament to their superior skills in the art of water feature construction and I welcome the chance to work with Carrie Sanchez and the GPSI team in the future.

Baylor University – 5th Street Promenade & Fountain, Waco, TX

We are nearing the end of our project here at Baylor 5th St/Rosenbalm Fountain. I would like to say that I could not be more pleased with how the fountain has turned out and how GPSI has performed. As I’m sure you know, we had some challenges with the weather and through it all, Jerry West kept assuring me that there would not be a delay. Throughout the project, we have learned that we could depend on your guys to perform as expected and to deliver a magnificent project. Baylor University and Dr. Rosenbalm will be proud of this fountain for many years to come. Thank you!

Energy Center III, IV & V, Houston, TX

Jeff,
Working with your team on multiple fountains on three projects for Energy Center Campus was a great experience from design, resource planning and execution of construction work. Your guys took ownership of their scope of work and delivered the result. I especially want to thank Robert Meeks (your superintendent) for great job. He was always proactive in bringing issues so that we can handle them without impacting schedule or cost. I will highly recommend GPSI for future projects to our clients. Thank you.

First Baptist Church of Dallas

Dear Barry,
I am writing you to convey our appreciation for your efforts during the design and installation of the Robert Jeffress Fountain on the First Baptist Church of Dallas New Worship Center project. This signature feature at the heart of the new $130M Campus would not be possible without the hard work and determination of your highly skilled team. Time after time you stepped up to produce mockups, small and large, to insure the water would flow properly and produce the correct amount of foam. This was a laborious process, no doubt, but central to a successful completion and you did it all with a smile on your face. While a difficult process, it was enjoyable and your team deserves much of that credit.

Thank you for going above and beyond the call of duty to make the project a huge success. We look forward to working with you again in the future.

Mrs. Chapman:
GPSI’s project team who were assigned to ETMC Pittsburg provided exceptional service, and was vital to the successful completion of the Hospital. Jerry West and Brad Peterson have the team mentality required to be an important asset to a construction project. I am glad to have had the opportunity to work with GPSI, and I look forward to being able to do business with you again in the future.

AT&T Stadium – Ford Fountain, Arlington, TX

Gentlemen,
Thank you for an outstanding job. It is truly amazing that in 4 months’ time our team was able to design, plan and build a fully automated fountain at all let alone on the fifth floor of the now Cowboys Stadium. The obstacles were seemingly endless but one by one we overcame them all which is a testament to the determination of the GPSI team.

Since its opening I have heard one compliment after another by our clients and the Cowboys regarding the overall look and feel of the space. The response by the public has been remarkable as well. The fountain has become the destination point we had hoped for as well as a photo op for the guest. All in all great work!

So, we live to work another day and I look forward to working with GPSI on those future projects.

Thanks to all once again.

The Esplanade at Fair Park, Texas State Fairgrounds, Dallas, TX

I would like to express my gratitude for making the Esplanade Fountain at Fair park one of the finest achievements I have had the pleasure to be a part of. The staff of GPSI took a time sensitive and politically drive project, and produced a product of the highest caliber. The executive management of GPSI assured me the persons assigned to the project were the best, and would deliver a quality on time and on budget. This was certainly the case.

Vice President of Operations Brad Peterson not only took care to produce what the plans called for, but he and his construction team studied the project from all angles which resulted in a more efficient and safer design in many cases. Mr. Barry Caylor, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, took great care to ensure the City of Dallas was completely satisfied with the final product. He was also instrumental in kicking off the dedication and first showings during the 2009 State Fair of Texas.

The team’s ability to adapt to ever changing conditions is testament to their superior skills in the art of fountain construction. Fair Park is a challenging place to work even on small projects. The size and scope of the Esplanade Fountain required constant communication, an immeasurable ability to adapt, and a requirement to do everything very quickly. GPSI produced in every case.

I welcome the chance to work with GPSI in the future, and look forward to doing so. I would also like to commend GPSI on a job well done.

AT&T “Cowboy” Stadium, Arlington, TX

Dear Brad:

In many aspects it was a very complex and awesome construction project. However, due to the diligence, concentrated and assertive efforts of GPSI and all of its dedicated employees, a successful completion was attained.

Brad, your entire staff was exceptional in the performance required and teamwork necessary to bring this project to reality, and we look forward to working with out on many more projects in the future.
