Prototypes for Trump's Mexico border wall to be built by September
>With a bidding process currently under way, US border agency says between four and eight companies will make the final round and construct prototypes
>Rival prototypes for Donald Trump’s wall on the US-Mexico border should be built by September, the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency said on Tuesday.
>A bidding process for contractors to design and construct prototypes at the south-west border in San Diego, California, the first step towards the multibillion-dollar project, is currently under way.
>“Our planning gets us to construction for the prototype process at the end of summer,” Ron Vitiello,acting deputy commissioner of CBP, told reporters on Tuesday. “There’s a contracting process that has to go on so we’re evaluating proposals now. We have to make decisions against that and then we’ll have to see what the planning allows for. We think it’s summer but I can’t be more exact than that ... I think that gives us until September.”
>Vitiello said between four and eight companies would make the final round in what has been dubbed a“beauty pageant”.Once given notice, they will be expected to finish construction of their prototypes within 30 days, with some likely to consist of reinforced concrete and others of alternative materials.
>Geographically, the prototypes will be “pretty close together”, Vitiello added. “There’ll probably be more than one or two of them there at the same time but we’ll have to sequence it so they’re not in each other’s way. I don’t have that plan but I know out team is working through it.”
>Final selection will take place “after a thorough review and evaluation” of prototypes constructed, he added. But the official was reluctant to give a precise deadline for when this decision will be made and the contract awarded.
>San Diego was chosen for the testing because it currently has insufficient border fencing that has been breached more than 800 times in the past year, Vitiello said. It also has “mature” infrastructure and technology.
It's what the mexicans want. BUILD THE WALL. MEXICO WILL BECOME A NATIONAL SOCIALIST COUNTRY. SEIG HEIL SEIG HEIL SEIG HEIL. But only after they send all their indigenous to the U.S. so it can be a mestizo paradise.
