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

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.

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

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.
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.
