US Edition$4.5B in border wall contracts awarded: DHS, CBP
Contracts will add 230 miles of steel and waterborne barriers with patrol roads, cameras, and sensors to secure nearly 73% of the U.S.-Mexico border, DHS said.
- On Friday, the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Customs and Border Protection awarded 10 construction contracts worth $4.5 billion to add 230 miles of Smart Wall.
- After a pause under President Biden, the contracts funded by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and carryover Fiscal Year 2021 appropriations follow 458 miles built by President Trump.
- Among winners, BCCG Joint Venture won seven contracts worth more than $3 billion, Barnard Spencer Joint Venture secured two contracts about $780 million, and Fisher Sand & Gravel Co. received a $574 million California contract.
- The Smart Wall combines steel and waterborne barriers, patrol roads, lights, cameras and advanced detection technology, DHS said, stretching 1,422 miles and covering nearly 73% of the border for Border Patrol agents.
- To accelerate construction, officials waived certain requirements for select miles, including roughly nine in the San Diego sector and about 30 in the El Paso sector, though waivers can bypass environmental laws and past private efforts faced legal scrutiny.
