On Thursday, U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced that Tempe-based Fisher Sand & Gravel Co. received a contract to build a 30-foot concrete prototype in the San Diego area.
“We are extremely excited and grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this important project,” company President Thomas Fisher said in a statement.
The company did not release details about its design.
However, CBP said the prototypes would be made of reinforced concrete, be 30 feet long and up to 30 feet tall, and incorporate see-through features.
Thursday's announcement means Arizona could have two companies working on border-wall prototypes. Scottsdale-based Dark Pulse Technologies also advanced to the next round of the bidding process. But the company did not reveal whether it is involved with any of the winning bids announced Thursday or additional contracts CBP will announce next week.
As you can see by this article DP advanced to the next round of bidding but didn't reveal if it was involved with any of the winning bids announced Thursday.
In addition to Fisher Sand & Gravel Co., the other three companies chosen to build and test concrete designs near San Diego are: Caddell Construction Co. of Montgomery, Alabama; Texas Sterling Construction Co. of Houston; and WG Yates and Sons Construction Co. of Philadelphia, Mississippi.
All of the companies that are listed here actually made a prototype. My guess is since DP is not a construction company they didn't want the wall built by a company that is in the main business of sensors.
Doesn't mean DP wont get sensors on or around the wall though! It's been discussed with Trump that some areas would be better of with surveillance technology rather than a physical barrier.
This open discussion to the press. There are Democrats arguing in favor of surveillance technology. HINT HINT Sensors
