TRI STATE EXCAVATING LLC

Tri State Excavating LLC specializes in heavy civil infrastructure construction and forest road maintenance within federal public lands, with deep expertise in highway, street, and bridge construction as well as support activities for forestry operations. The contractor executes precision earthmoving, grading, drainage installation, culvert placement, and unpaved road surface stabilization under demanding environmental conditions, often in remote, mountainous terrain. Their technical capabilities include pre-road construction surveying, erosion control implementation, and seasonal maintenance of forest service roads to ensure year-round access for firefighting, wildlife management, and public recreation. They demonstrate consistent proficiency in executing task orders under tight seasonal windows, adhering to USDA environmental compliance standards and sustainable land management practices. The company maintains a strong, recurring relationship with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, particularly the Forest Service, delivering critical infrastructure services across multiple national forests in the Northern Region. Their work supports operational readiness for fire suppression, resource management, and public access, with a focus on maintaining and upgrading transportation corridors within federally protected lands. This long-term engagement reflects a trusted partnership built on reliability, regulatory compliance, and performance in ecologically sensitive zones. Tri State Excavating’s primary industry focus lies in NAICS 237310 for roadway construction and 115310 for forestry support activities, positioning them as a niche provider of transportation infrastructure within the federal land management sector. They are not a general contractor but a specialized operator focused exclusively on the unique challenges of forest road systems, including steep gradients, high precipitation zones, and wildlife corridor mitigation. As a small business structured as a 2J entity based in West Yellowstone, Montana, the company operates with a localized, field-responsive model suited to the rugged geography of the Northern Rockies. While currently holding no formal government certifications, their on-the-ground experience and regional familiarity provide a distinct advantage in executing complex, environmentally constrained projects for federal land management agencies.
