Earlier this week, we learned that a two-year-old company that had two full-time employees the day Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico was awarded a $300 million contract to rebuild the island’s electrical grid. Whitefish Energy seemed like an odd choice, given that its biggest project to date was a $1.3 million deal to “replace and upgrade parts of a 4.8-mile transmission line in Arizona,” for which it was given 11 months to complete. (As a point of comparison, there are 2,400 miles of transmission lines spread across Puerto Rico.) In addition to its lack of experience, the amount of money Whitefish has convinced Puerto Rico—which is bankrupt—to fork over has raised eyebrows; only eight contracts for more than $20 million have been approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Army Corp of Engineers, with half of those going toward shipments of food and bottled water.

The fact that Whitefish happens to be based in the hometown of Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, who knows Whitefish owner Andy Techmanski, and whose son worked a summer job at one of Techmanski’s construction sites, has added yet another layer of intrigue to the situation. And now, just a day after Whitefish told people to quit their “carping,” several officials, both in Congress and in Puerto Rico, are asking questions about the unusual arrangement.

The Hill reports that Puerto Rico’s Governor, Ricardo Rosselló, sent a letter to the Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general’s office on Wednesday, requesting an audit into exactly how Whitefish won the $300 million contract. Rosselló described a three-hour conference call between FEMA and Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) representatives during which FEMA attempted to ensure the contract was in accordance with emergency procurement rules and regulations. After the call, FEMA indicated it would follow up with additional questions. “I request that your office complete its review of the Whitefish Contract so that a final determination can be made . . . and address any other issues regarding the same by Monday, October 30, 2017,” Rosselló wrote.

In addition to Rosselló’s request, The Hill also reported Thursday that two House committees have opened an investigation into how Whitefish landed the contract. A bipartisan group of leaders on the House Energy and Commerce Committee sent a letter to Techmanski requesting copies of the contract and other documents, as well as a briefing by November 9. Leaders of the House Natural Resources Committee, meanwhile, requested PREPA President Ricardo Ramos supply them with documents related to how the utility typically awards contracts.

In the upper chamber, two Democratic Senators have asked that the Government Accountability Office investigate the “use of public money to reimburse work completed by Whitefish Energy,” according to BuzzFeed News.

The letter urges the office to look into multiple concerns, including "the potentially inflated costs of time and material in the contract relative to comparable" agreements, "the opaque and limited nature of PREPA's [Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority] bidding process that led to the contract" as well as "the contemporaneous communications between Whitefish and senior members of the federal executive branch, including Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke."

For its part, Whitefish responded to the barrage of investigations with an optimistic statement. "Whitefish Energy appreciates the efforts of the committees to gather information so that they have confidence in the overall process to support the people of Puerto Rico as well Whitefish Energy’s capabilities and commitment to deliver on the contract to help restore power and a sense of normalcy for the people of Puerto Rico," the company said—a far cry from its earlier tweets threatening to stop its work and send its linemen home.
