Clearwater Excavating LLC

Clearwater Excavating LLC is a self-certified small disadvantaged business registered in the System for Award Management (SAM), structured as a limited liability company located in Lewiston, Idaho. The company specializes in providing heavy equipment and associated services to federal agencies, with a primary focus on supporting forestry, fire management, and incident response operations. Clearwater Excavating demonstrates expertise in supplying and operating a diverse range of heavy machinery, including dozers, excavators, skidders, feller bunchers, mulcher/masticators, and road graders for critical emergency management and forestry projects.

The company has been awarded federal contracts exclusively through the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service, primarily focusing on delivery orders that require heavy equipment and operational services. These contracts have been strategically designed to support fire suppression, prescribed project work, and all-hazard incident response operations. The contracts are not set aside for any specific designation and have been awarded on a competitive basis, with ceiling values ranging from $28,890 to $64,195 for individual delivery orders. The work has been primarily concentrated in USDA Forest Service regions, including Regions 1 (Northern Region), 2, 4, and 9, demonstrating the company's capability to provide specialized equipment and personnel resources across multiple geographical zones.

Clearwater Excavating LLC holds three significant Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the USDA Forest Service's National Interagency Fire Center, each with a $250,000.00 ceiling value and performance periods extending to 2028 or 2029. These multiple-award, firm-fixed-price contracts are set aside for total small businesses and were competitively awarded through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system. The IDCs cover various scopes, including miscellaneous heavy equipment for the East Zone (Regions 1, 2, and 4), heavy equipment for Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9, and vehicle with driver services specifically for Region 4. These contracts enable the company to provide flexible, on-demand equipment and personnel resources for critical forestry and emergency management needs, with requirements including maintaining a USDA Level 2 eAuthentication account and active SAM registration.
