Construction crews continue to make progress on the deconstruction of Copco No. 2. The smallest of the four Klamath Hydroelectric dams slated for removal. Copco No. 2 is being removed to clear the way for Copco No. 1’s drawdown coming this January. While crews are working fast, the complete deconstruction of Copco No. 2 and its infrastructure won’t be completed until September.

Who is the contractor for demolishing the dams? Was there a competitive bid process? Was it made public? How did they afford a massive bond requirement? If they fulfilled the massive bond requirement, did they have the necessary experience (years, and similar projects) to qualify for the bid? I’m a civil engineer, and familiar with the bidding process. Interesting to see what Siskiyou News can dig up. Public records, so, it should be easy to find.
Thanks a lot for the blog post. Keep writing.
