As Oklahoma City’s Mammoth Energy Services fights to get paid nearly $300 million for its electrical power restoration efforts following the 2017 Hurricane Maria that devastated Puerto Rico, the company is using Freedom of Information Act material to prove it performed its work and should be paid.
Mammoth announced Tuesday the release of more information from the Federal Emergency Management Agency by using FOIA. The firm says the presentations, reports and additional data “add further validation” that the work performed by its Cobra Acquisitions LLC significantly aided the restoration of power to millions of residents under “very harsh conditions.”
“The information we received in response to our FOIA requests underscores the work our Cobra team performed in difficult conditions to restore power to the island,” said Arty Straehla, chief executive officer of Mammoth. “—this information further validates that Cobra carried out its mission and fulfilled its contractual requirements at reasonable rates.”
Mammoth is still fighting in the courts to receive $293 million is says is owed by Puerto Rico and the government.
The company points to the 781 pages obtained under the third FOIA request which highlight Cobra’s response to the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority and said it mobilized faster than the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and was assigned some of the most difficult work.
“With the release of additional information through FOIA, we feel that this is the third validation of the high-quality work Cobra performed in Puerto Rico—-,” stated the company’s announcement on Tuesday.
The entire 781 pages have been placed on the Mammoth Energy website along with the letter from FEMA and the Rand Report and are now available for review by all interested parties at http://ir.mammothenergy.com/events-presentations
