The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection have released additional specifications for the proposed border wall between the U.S. and Mexico.
Federal officials have supplemented the original notice posted late last month with details that prescribe 30-foot-tall sections of concrete with anti-climbing and anti-damage features. The formal request for proposals was expected to be posted as early as Mar. 8, 2017.
The agency’s notice, posted online, also indicated that before the wall’s construction would begin, the winning bidder or bidders would build prototypes for evaluation. If and when the wall is built, construction is likely to begin in the West, near El Paso, TX, Tucson, AZ, and El Centro, CA, according to the Austin American-Statesman.
