Chapman Mike

Chapman Mike, doing business as Chapman Construction, is a small business sole proprietorship based in Libby, Montana, primarily serving the U.S. Forest Service through federal contract awards. The company specializes in providing heavy equipment rentals, water handling services, transportation, excavation, and field support services critical to wildland firefighting, forestry management, and emergency response operations. With a strategic focus on supporting public lands management across multiple western U.S. Forest Service regions, Chapman Construction has established itself as a reliable vendor capable of rapidly mobilizing specialized equipment and personnel during time-sensitive operational needs.

Chapman Construction has consistently provided a diverse range of services through federal contract awards, predominantly focused on supporting wildland firefighting and land management initiatives. The company's delivery orders have included renting specialized heavy equipment such as dozers, excavators, water tenders, skidgens, and other mission-critical machinery to the U.S. Forest Service. These contracts, which are typically firm fixed-price delivery orders, span regions including the Northern (Region 1), Intermountain (Region 4), and Southwestern (Region 3) regions. While most of the company's awards have not utilized specific set-aside designations, Chapman Construction has been recognized as a small business prime contractor, enabling it to compete effectively for federal contract opportunities supporting emergency response and infrastructure development projects.

Chapman Construction holds multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the U.S. Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center, all of which are total small business set-aside contracts with a $250,000 ceiling value. These IDCs, awarded through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, cover various specialized equipment categories including water handling services, heavy equipment with water capabilities, miscellaneous heavy equipment (such as feller bunchers, mulchers, road graders, and skidders), and general heavy equipment rentals. The IDCs are designed to support fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed project work across Forest Service Regions 1, 2, 4, 8, and 9, with performance periods ranging from 2024 to 2030. These contract vehicles enable rapid mobilization of specialized resources, allowing Chapman Construction to provide critical equipment and services during emergency response and land management operations.
