Rock Island Powerhouse 2 Headgates Refurbishment

This contract concerns the refurbishment of two headgates at the Rock Island Powerhouse, a water‑related infrastructure asset. The agency (likely a public utility department) estimated the project value at $2 million and issued a sealed‑bid solicitation (Bid No. 20‑01). Two firms submitted bids, but the award was made to WHECO Corporation for $1,308,600. The solicitation required a bid bond or cashier’s check, indicating a traditional sealed‑bid process under public‑sector procurement rules. The work likely involves civil‑structural, mechanical, and electrical repairs to the headgate structures that control water flow for hydro‑electric generation.
