What’s the best way to get the best deal on a major project? Have hundreds of companies compete for the contract.

That’s exactly what’s happening with the proposed wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

“Detailed requirements will be included in the RFP, but for planning we anticipate procuring concrete wall structures, nominally 30 feet tall, that will meet requirements for esthetics, anti-climbing, and resistance to tampering and damage,” the pre-solicitation notice reads.

Companies from Arizona, California, and as far away as Israel and even Mexico are all competing for a piece of the action.

ABC 15 reports:

More than 30 Arizona businesses have officially signaled interest in bidding for a piece of President Donald Trump’s multi-billion dollar border wall project, according to records obtained by ABC15.

Across the country, 584 companies responded to a pre-solicitation notice posted on the Federal Business Opportunities website by signing up as “interested venders.”

Thirty-three of those companies show an Arizona address.

“All we want is to have the opportunity,” Marc Winkelman, president of CMJ Systems, tells the news station. “We have a technology that we think will have a benefit to building the border wall.”

According to ABC 7, at least three companies from San Diego are making a play.

Three San Diego-based construction companies are adding their names to the hat for a bid to build President Donald Trump’s proposed border wall.

Currently, the government is fielding bids from contractors for the construction of a wall along the 2,000-mile long border between the U.S. and Mexico.

“We’re very excited about being a part of, really, something on a national level,” says Ralph Hicks of R.E. Staite Engineering in San Diego.

“We have some set goals that we’ve established internally that we think the federal government may ask us to consider.”

Meanwhile, and Israeli company is hoping to use its background in securing its border.

“We have the right product and we have the experience in Israel that helps in showcasing our product,” Magal Chief Executive Officer Saar Koursh told Bloomberg.

His company offers a system “which embeds fiber-optic sensors in long stretches of fences and walls, is already used for perimeter security at airports and seaports around the world.”

And don’t think Mexicans don’t want to help.

One company on the southern side of the border may be willing to provide cement for the massive project.

Via CNN:

Cemex, one of the world’s largest providers of building materials, said Wednesday that it would provide building materials for a border wall — if a client asks for it.

“If one of our clients requests a quote for materials, we have the responsibility to do so,” the company said in a statement. “But this does not imply that Cemex will participate in the project.”

The company’s involvement could be complicated, given Trump’s vow to “buy American, hire American.”
