Kendra Bull

Kendra Bull serves as a Civil Engineer-Trials with the Custer Gallatin National Forest, where she plays a pivotal role in managing infrastructure acquisitions critical to public safety and ecological stewardship. Her responsibilities include overseeing the planning, design, and procurement of trail systems, erosion control structures, bridge repairs, and wildfire mitigation infrastructure across federally protected lands. As a technical contracting lead, she ensures that all acquisitions align with federal engineering standards and environmental compliance requirements under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Her work directly supports the U.S. Forest Service’s mission to maintain resilient public access while preserving natural resources through targeted civil engineering construction projects. Kendra Bull maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors TK3, LLC and KOMMODITIES CORP, both of which provide specialized expertise in remote-area construction and trail maintenance. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven experience in rugged, ecologically sensitive terrains and a capacity to execute complex, low-impact civil works under challenging logistical conditions. Her procurement approach emphasizes collaboration with contractors who demonstrate technical proficiency in sustainable construction methods and adherence to environmental mitigation protocols. A strong advocate for small business participation, Kendra Bull consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides, with 86.7% of her acquisitions designated under FAR 19.5. She also supports HUBZone contractors, reflecting a deliberate strategy to stimulate economic development in rural, underserved communities where the forest operates. Her contracting patterns align with federal socioeconomic goals, ensuring equitable access to opportunities for qualified small firms with relevant field experience. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), encompassing trail construction, retaining walls, culverts, and erosion control systems. She also engages specialty trade contractors under NAICS 238990 for ancillary services such as signage, fencing, and drainage installation. Her technical domain expertise centers on low-impact civil engineering solutions tailored to high-elevation, fire-prone, and ecologically sensitive forest environments.
