Solicitations post on SAM.gov · Agency site

State

Montana DNRC — Forestry

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.

Grant-recipient procurement; state solicitations via eMACS · Agency site

State

Montana Department of Transportation

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.

MDT contracting (separate from eMACS; registration required before bidding) · Agency site

County

Flathead County — Roads & Bridges / Commissioners' Office

County road and bridge projects plus general county goods and services.

Calls for Bids, RFQs and RFPs posted as public notices; the county maintains a bidders list you request in writing · Agency site

Municipal

Cities of Kalispell, Whitefish & Columbia Falls

Public works: roadway excavation, aggregate and surfacing, curb and gutter, erosion and sediment control, topsoil and seeding, chip seal programs.

City postings plus local legal notices — the small cities do not all run centralized portals · Agency site

Tribal

Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes

RFPs and sealed-bid solicitations across Forestry, Natural Resources, Tribal Lands, and Facilities departments.

South end of the operating radius. CSKT operates an Indian Preference Office; preference rules apply and should be understood before bid effort is invested.

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.

Thresholds current as of August 2026 and subject to change — sourced in our research registry. Requirements are set per solicitation by the contracting authority.
