The subject of the Philpott damn dam came up on our recent outing and we speculated about the cost. Here is what I found  out;

It appears that the hillside (hillslope) stabilization or mitigation project at Philpott Dam was carried out under a federal contract awarded to David Boland, Inc. of Titusville, FL. The contract's total fixed‑price value—including the slope stabilization at Philpott Dam—was $19,734,579  �.

🧱 Scope & Background
   •   In May 2020 a significant landslide occurred downstream of Philpott Dam, prompting the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to launch a remediation effort including hillside stabilization measures  �.
   •   The stabilization work included scaling (removing loose rock), installation of concrete T‑walls, draped mesh, catchment fencing, secant pile retaining walls, stormwater controls (e.g. detention vault), regrading of overburden, road stabilization, and reconstruction of the switchgear building destroyed in the slide  �.
   •   The contract for all this—referred to as "Philpott Dam Landslide Remediation"—was a firm fixed price at approximately $19.7 million

Perhaps ElPresidente Taco can get Mexico to pay for it. If they refuse, just hit them with higher tariffs.
