JAMES A SCHAEFFER

JAMES A SCHAEFFER operates as a specialized construction contractor focused on civil infrastructure projects under NAICS 237130, which encompasses heavy and civil engineering construction. This includes the planning, design, and execution of large-scale public works such as roads, bridges, dams, water and sewer systems, and other non-building civil structures. The contractor’s technical expertise lies in site preparation, earthwork, grading, drainage systems, and utility integration, with an emphasis on meeting federal and state engineering standards for durability, safety, and environmental compliance. While no specific project details are available, the classification suggests a hands-on, field-based capability in delivering mission-critical infrastructure with precision and adherence to ASTM and AASHTO specifications. No agency relationships can be identified due to insufficient award history. The contractor’s work likely supports public works departments, transportation authorities, or federal land management agencies, though no confirmed partnerships or recurring project types are documented. The primary industry focus is heavy civil construction, specifically in the non-residential infrastructure segment. This vertical requires expertise in heavy equipment operation, geotechnical analysis, and project sequencing under tight regulatory oversight. The contractor positions itself within the niche of on-site civil execution rather than design-build or consulting services, emphasizing physical implementation over planning phases. JAMES A SCHAEFFER is structured as a small, independently owned entity (2J classification), indicating a lean operational model likely centered on direct labor and equipment management. The contractor is based in Huron, South Dakota, suggesting regional focus on Midwestern infrastructure needs. No federal certifications such as 8(a), HUBZone, or WOSB are listed, and there is no indication of subcontracting relationships or bonding capacity beyond standard industry norms. The business operates as a localized provider with capacity for contract work in public infrastructure, relying on technical proficiency and on-the-ground execution rather than institutional affiliations.
