Irrigation System Install

This proposal covers installation of a new in-ground irrigation system at {{client_address}} — {{zone_count}} zones with {{head_count}}.

Components

• Backflow preventer (pressure vacuum breaker or double-check valve per code; installed upstream of valves)

• Manifold with one valve per zone, installed in a valve box near the backflow

• Buried PVC (schedule 40) for mainlines; polyethylene tubing for lateral lines (per local practice)

• Pop-up spray heads with matched precipitation-rate nozzles

• Drip tubing with pressure-compensating emitters for planting beds

• Rain sensor or soil moisture sensor per local code

• {{controller_spec}} smart controller mounted at garage or utility area

Install process

• 811 locates before digging

• Trenching via pipe-pull vibratory plow (minimal turf damage) or hand-dig where needed

• Connect to existing water supply at the house (tap on main line with appropriate shutoff)

• Install backflow and manifold

• Pressure-test before covering trenches

• Backfill and restore turf / ground cover

Commissioning

• Zone-by-zone test for coverage and pressure

• Set up Wi-Fi controller, schedule based on plant/turf type and climate

• Walkthrough with {{client_name}} on how to adjust schedule, enable/disable zones, and winterize system

Estimated duration: 1–3 working days depending on yard size and zone count.

Start date: {{start_date}}. Weather delays avoid trenching in saturated soil.

Total contract price: {{total}}

• **Deposit: {{deposit}}** — signing

• **Balance: remainder** — at commissioning and walkthrough

**Utility rebate:** WaterSense smart controllers may be eligible for a $50–$200 rebate from local water utilities. {{contractor_name}} provides documentation.

Balance due at commissioning.

Invoices are due upon receipt. Payments more than ten (10) calendar days past due accrue a service charge of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month on the unpaid balance, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less. {{contractor_name}} reserves the right to stop work and preserve lien rights if any progress payment is not received within five (5) business days of the due date. All retained mechanic's lien, stop notice, and bond rights under applicable state law are preserved.

The following items are specifically NOT included in the contract price and are the responsibility of {{client_name}} unless added by written Change Order:

• Permits, plan-review fees, and jurisdictional inspection fees unless explicitly itemized above

• Repair or remediation of pre-existing code violations discovered during the work

• Asbestos, lead paint, mold, or other hazardous material abatement

• Structural engineering, architectural drawings, or third-party design services

• Finish selections, fixtures, or appliances not listed in the itemized scope

• Work on concealed systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, framing) beyond the points of connection identified

• Landscaping restoration beyond returning disturbed areas to rough grade

• Post-completion cleaning beyond construction broom-clean

• Lawn repair beyond minor turf scarring from pipe-pull (heavy repair priced separately)

• Connection to domestic well (typical scope is city water; well connection priced separately with pump integration)

• Permit fees for backflow install (required in some jurisdictions)

• Annual backflow testing (required by many water utilities; separate service)

• Irrigation design for properties over 1 acre (engineering priced separately)

• Drip irrigation expansion to add new planting beds after install

This proposal is based on the following assumptions. If any assumption is incorrect, the contract price and schedule are subject to adjustment by Change Order:

• Site access is available during normal working hours (7am–5pm, Monday–Saturday)

• Adequate parking is available within 100 feet of the work area

• Electrical power and potable water are available on-site at no cost to contractor

• Existing structural elements, waste lines, water supply, and electrical service are in serviceable condition unless noted

• {{client_name}} will remove personal property, artwork, and valuables from the work area prior to start

• Work is based on a single mobilization; re-mobilization required due to delays outside contractor's control will be billed at current rates

• Water supply at the house has adequate pressure (45+ PSI) and flow for the designed system

• No excessive roots, rocks, or buried debris in trench paths

• {{client_name}} provides Wi-Fi credentials for smart controller setup

Any modification to the scope, specifications, materials, or schedule set forth in this agreement must be authorized in writing as a Change Order signed by both parties before the work is performed. Each Change Order will describe the modified scope, any adjustment to the contract price, and any impact on the schedule. Verbal instructions do not modify this agreement. Additional time and cost associated with unforeseen conditions — including but not limited to concealed rot, asbestos, mold, faulty prior installation, unmarked utilities, or code-required upgrades triggered by the work — will be documented as a Change Order and billed at the rates stated in this proposal or at {{contractor_name}}'s then-current published labor rates, whichever is in effect at the time the condition is discovered.

{{contractor_name}} warrants the workmanship of the installed work for a period of one (1) year from the date of substantial completion. Manufacturer warranties on materials and equipment pass through to {{client_name}} as provided by the manufacturer and are the exclusive source of any material warranty. This warranty does not cover normal wear, abuse, neglect, acts of God, subsequent work performed by others, damage from settlement or movement of the building, or modifications to the installed work performed without written consent. To make a warranty claim, {{client_name}} must notify {{contractor_name}} in writing within thirty (30) days of discovering the alleged defect and allow reasonable access to inspect and repair.

This proposal is valid for 30 days from the proposal date ({{proposal_date}}). Pricing is subject to change after that date due to material market fluctuations and scheduling availability. Acceptance requires signature below and receipt of the deposit amount stated in Payment Terms. Upon acceptance, this proposal, together with any attached specifications and subsequent written Change Orders, constitutes the complete agreement between the parties and supersedes any prior oral or written discussions.
