Discussion: Potential Border Wall Contractors Brace For Hostile Environment

The winning bidders must submit a security plan with details including “‘fall back positions, evacuation routines and methods, muster area, medical staff members/availability, number of security personnel, qualifications, years of experience, etc. in the event of a hostile attack,” according to the solicitation.

These requirements sound suspiciously like they were lifted from building projects in Afghanistan or Iraq.

A chain-link fence with barbed wire around the construction site is required. The agency said it won’t provide security.

So a requirement for building the wall is to first build a fence, presumably protected by armed guards. Sounds like it would be a lot cheaper just to post the sentries, etc., without building anything.

But so far, everything appears to be going really, really well. So much winning!
