Work categories we perform, mapped to the agencies that buy them in this region.
01
Right-of-way & corridor vegetation
Mechanical vegetation management, corridor clearing, and access work applicable to utility and infrastructure right-of-way scopes — performed outside the minimum approach distances of energized conductors. Work inside those distances requires qualified line-clearance personnel under OSHA 1910.269(r) and is a scope we do not self-perform.
Construction and maintenance of access roads and lanes serving towers, poles, facility sites, and remote infrastructure — cut, drainage, aggregate placement, and vegetation control on the approach.
Mechanical thinning, pruning, slash disposal, and pile burning to reduce wildland fire risk — typically in priority areas adjacent to National Forest System lands.
Culvert installation and replacement and associated drainage work — frequently bundled with vegetation work under stewardship contracting authority.

07
Municipal roadway & site work
Roadway excavation, aggregate placement, grading, erosion and sediment control measures, topsoil placement, and site restoration on municipal and county projects.
Hazardous fuels reduction, thinning, forest-stand improvement, road maintenance, culvert work, hazard tree removal, and recreation-site work — including bundled scopes under stewardship contracting authority.
Roughly 2.4 million acres, with the Supervisor's Office in Kalispell — the largest buyer of this kind of work in the service area, headquartered in it.
Government contracts for facility, grounds, and infrastructure work are posted on SAM.gov (distinct from concessions and commercial use authorizations).
Hazardous fuels work. Note the structure: DNRC's fuels program is largely a GRANT program whose eligible applicants are local governments, non-profits, and tribal entities — contractors are hired by those grant recipients to perform the work, not by applying for the grant.

Highway, street, and bridge construction let through scheduled bid lettings. For a company at this stage, realistic entry is subcontract scope under a road prime.

Registrations
Federal and state registrations are in process. Identifiers — UEI, CAGE, and vendor registrations — will be published here and on our capability statement as each is issued. Contracting officers and prime contractors are welcome to contact us directly in the meantime.
Responsibility determination
Before award, a contracting officer must make an affirmative determination of responsibility — and absent evidence, the regulation's default answer is nonresponsible. Our evidence is set out below against each criterion, in the order the regulation states them. Where something is not yet established, it says so.
FAR 9.104-1(a)
Adequate financial resources, or the ability to obtain them
Owner-operated with no external debt service against contract revenue
Scope sized to working capital — we bid work we can carry, and say so rather than over-reaching
Bonding capacity and surety relationship are being established; no bonded capacity is claimed until a surety has issued it.
FAR 9.104-1(b)
Ability to meet the required delivery or performance schedule
Kalispell-based: no mobilization travel between the yard and the operating radius
Published, source-cited seasonal constraints — breakup, fire season, frost, and permitted in-stream windows — so schedules are built against real conditions
Current commitments disclosed at bid; we do not commit capacity twice
FAR 9.104-1(c)
Satisfactory performance record
References furnished on request as work completes
Commercial and private-sector performance is offered as relevant experience, which FAR 15.305(a)(2) permits
No federal past performance record exists. FAR 9.104-1(c) provides that a contractor shall not be found responsible or nonresponsible solely on the basis of lacking relevant performance history.
FAR 9.104-1(d)
Satisfactory record of integrity and business ethics
No exclusions, suspensions, or debarments
Scope boundaries published rather than discovered at buyout — we state in writing what we do not perform
Every regulatory statement on this site carries its source and a review date
FAR 9.104-1(e)
Necessary organization, experience, accounting and operational controls, technical skills — including quality assurance and safety programs
Documented safety program covering pre-work assessment, on-site controls, and close-out
Documented operating standard governing scoping, boundaries, and close-out quality
Utility locate protocol and private-line disclosure practice applied before any ground disturbance
FAR 9.104-1(f)
Necessary equipment and facilities, or the ability to obtain them
Self-performed across six service lines with owned and operated equipment classes
Local yard and short mobilization distances across the operating radius
A verified machine-by-machine inventory with capacities is published as it is confirmed; equipment classes are stated meanwhile rather than a fabricated fleet list.
FAR 9.104-1(g)
Otherwise qualified and eligible to receive an award
Montana business, domestic entity, no inverted-domestic-corporation issue
Registration status published and kept current rather than asserted
Self-performance
Boaz self-performs its scope with its own workforce and equipment. We do not take award and broker the work.

Services

Where a scope genuinely requires a licensed specialty we do not hold — septic installation, live utility connection, engineered retaining systems — it is identified during pricing and carried by the appropriate licensed contractor, disclosed rather than concealed.
Caps shown are the FAR 19.505 limitations on subcontracting that apply to small-business set-aside awards.
Compliance framework
The wage, bonding, and residency rules that govern public work of this type in Montana. We scope and price against them rather than discovering them mid-project.
Davis-Bacon ActFederal construction contracts over $2,000
Laborers and mechanics must be paid no less than locally prevailing wages and fringe benefits per the wage determination in the contract. Related Acts extend the requirement to federally assisted construction, so federal money flowing through a state or local project can carry it.
Service Contract ActFederal service contracts over $2,500
Recurring mowing, vegetation management, and grounds work are service contracts rather than construction — so wage obligations follow the Service Contract Act. Which act applies follows the nature of the work, not the contractor's description of it.
Miller Act bondingFederal construction contracts over $150,000
Performance and payment bonds are required above the threshold, generally written at 100% of the contract price. Contracts between $35,000 and $150,000 use alternative payment protections selected by the contracting officer.
Montana prevailing wagePublic works contracts of $25,000 or more
Montana's own prevailing wage law covers state, county, municipal, school district, and other political-subdivision contracts — and unlike the federal rule it reaches NONCONSTRUCTION SERVICES as well as construction. It also requires that at least 50% of a contractor's employees on the job be bona fide Montana residents.
