Joshua Taylor

Joshua Taylor, operating as Trinity River Water & Trucking, is a sole proprietorship registered as an SBA Certified HUBZone Firm based in Redding, California. The company specializes in providing water handling services primarily for fire suppression and emergency response activities across the western United States and Alaska. As a small business contractor, Trinity River Water & Trucking has established itself as a key provider of critical water handling equipment, transportation, personnel, and management services to federal agencies, particularly within the U.S. Forest Service's regional operations.

The federal contract awards demonstrate that Joshua Taylor's primary service offering is water handling support for emergency response and fire suppression activities. Specifically, the company has been awarded multiple delivery order contracts by the U.S. Forest Service, with contract values ranging from $11,999.94 to $139,103.31. These contracts cover Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10, which encompass the western United States and Alaska. The contracts are not set aside for any specific designation beyond small business, and they involve providing water handling equipment, transportation, and personnel to support fire suppression and all-hazard incident response activities. The company has consistently worked with civilian federal agencies, particularly the Forest Service and the Department of Agriculture's regional branches.

Trinity River Water & Trucking holds an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) awarded by the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region, which has a ceiling value of $250,000 and is set to expire on June 3, 2025. This multiple-award IDC is specifically designed for water handling services for the West Zone, covering Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10. The contract is structured as a pre-season Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement (I-BPA), allowing flexibility for the Forest Service and potential interagency cooperators to utilize these critical emergency response services as needed. The IDC was competitively awarded and is categorized as a Firm Fixed Price contract, supporting the Forest Service's ability to quickly mobilize water handling resources during fire season and other emergency incidents.
