Full Analysis

The Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $115M definitive contract to AMES FEDERAL CONTRACTING GROUP LLC for the construction of a new spillway and removal of the existing spillway at Hyrum Dam in Cache County, Utah. The contract period runs from March 2025 to February 2029. Since AMES FEDERAL CONTRACTING GROUP LLC is a private company with no publicly traded parent or subsidiary identified in EDGAR filings, this contract cannot be directly attributed to any public company. The contract supports infrastructure and water management, which are critical for utilities and regional development, but without a public ticker, the investment implications are indirect. Related legislation such as S3004 (Upper Price River Watershed Project Act) and S1787 (Dolores River National Conservation Area Act) signal ongoing federal interest in water infrastructure, but these are neutral-impact bills. No supply chain beneficiaries are identifiable without specific subcontractor data. Historically, large dam infrastructure contracts benefit construction and engineering firms, but in this case, the private nature of the award prevents specific market predictions.
