Foxconn awards $13 million in contracts for electronics plant
Taiwanese electronics manufacturer Foxconn has announced $13 million in construction contracts for the construction of the foundations of the Gen6 advanced electronics plant in Mount Pleasant.
The contracts represent the first awards for vertical construction of the Gen6 building and will go to three Wisconsin companies.
“These are the first of many forthcoming bid awards for the vertical construction of our advanced manufacturing facility, and we’re excited to drive further the construction progress at the Wisconn Valley Science and Technology Park in the coming weeks and months,” Peter Buck, Executive Director of the Wisconn Valley Science and Technology Park said in a statement to Patch.
PSI Intertek was awarded contracts for Materials Testing for Foundations and Related Construction. CD Smith Construction received contracts for Excavation and Concrete Foundation Work, while Otis Elevator Company will be responsible for Elevator Work.
Last month, Foxconn announced $34 million in contracts for work now underway on vital utilities and roadways at the Wisconn Valley campus.
Company officials say Foxconn’s next steps in Racine County include bid releases for a power substation, foundations and waterproofing and future design buildings and systems.
