Gulpjs combine two tasks into a single task

I think the proper way of doing this is using task dependency.

In gulp you can define tasks that needs to be run before a given task.

For instance:

gulp.task('scripts', ['clean'], function () {
    // gulp.src( ...
});

When doing gulp scripts in the Terminal, clean is run before the scripts task.

In your example I’d have the two seperate SASS tasks as a dependency of a common SASS task. Something like:

// Compile Our Sass
gulp.task('bootstrap-sass', function() {
  return gulp.src('./public/bower/bootstrap-sass/lib/*.scss')
    .pipe(sass())
    .pipe(contact('bootstrap.css'))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./public/dist/css'));
});

gulp.task('site-sass', function() {
  return gulp.src('./public/app/scss/*.scss')
    .pipe(sass())
    .pipe(contact('site.css'))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./public/dist/css'));
});

gulp.task('sass', ['bootstrap-sass', 'site-sass']);

You read more about the task dependecy on the Gulp recipes section: https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp/blob/master/docs/recipes/running-tasks-in-series.md
