How can we bid when we don't have specs? This seems super shady

ETA: misread the article. I thought bids were due today. It's a design build. I guess they want a unit cost per mile?

Design build? Nothing shady about a very common practice.

Isn't this just for design of a sectional prototype? I don't think they currently have the money for anything else.

Yes

From the RFP:

quote:

The Dept. of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) intends on issuing a solicitation in electronic format on or about March 6, 2017 for the design and build of several prototype wall structures in the vicinity of the United States border with Mexico. The procurement will be conducted in two phases, the first requiring vendors to submit a concept paper of their prototype(s) by March 10, 2017, which will result in the evaluation and down select of offerors by March 20, 2017. The second phase will require the down select of phase 1 offerors to submit proposals in response to the full RFP by March 24, 2017, which will include price. Multiple awards are contemplated by mid-April for this effort. An option for additional miles may be included in each contract award.

You really don't believe this do you?

And I'm anxious to see what happens when Trump finds out he doesn't have free reign to award the job to his buddies like he did in Real Estate.

It is a pretty aggressive acquisition timeline. Do-able but delays seem pretty likely.
