LICITACION:9.14M DE ALTURA EL MURO DE DONALDO TRUMP

NOTA DEL BLOG:   LA NOTA FUE PUBLICADA LA NOCHE DEL VIERNES POR Customs and Border Protection and one of the CBP  -LA PUSE HASTA ABAJO EN INGLES

The notices were made public late Friday by Customs and Border Protection and one of the CBP contract requests calls for a solid concrete wall, while the other asks for proposals for a see-through structure.

Both require the wall to be sunk at least six feet into the ground and include 25- and 50-foot (15.24 m) automated gates for pedestrians and vehicles.

EU PUBLICA LAS BASES DE LA LICITACION DEL MURO FRONTERIZO
EMPRESAS TENDRAN HASTA EL 29 DE MARZO PARA PRESENTAR PROPUESTAS

The current Mexico-US border fence separating the towns of Anapra, in Mexico, and Sunland Park, in New Mexico.
El Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS) de Estados Unidos publicó anoche las bases de licitación del muro que pretende construir en la frontera con México, el cual, señaló, debe ser estético y edificado por empresas y con materiales estadunidenses.
Puntualizó que son dos diseños de valla: un muro fronterizo de cemento sólido y un muro con otros materiales, aunque destacó que su diseño tiene que ser “imponente en altura”.
El gobierno de EU indicó que preferentemente debe tener 9.1 metros de altura(30 FEET) y ser imposible de escalar; además no debe permitir que se construyan túneles al menos a dos metros de profundidad.

De acuerdo con estas bases, que se dieron a conocer luego de varios retrasos, la valla tiene que ser estética del lado de Estados Unidos y resistir al menos durante una hora ataques o intentos de demolición.
Las más de 700 empresas interesadas en participar en la construcción deberán presentar sus propuestas como plazo máximo el 29 de marzo. La edificación del muro fue una de las principales promesas electorales del ahora presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump.
El mandatario ha señalado en diversas ocasiones que México pagará por la construcción; sin embargo, el gobierno del presidente Enrique Peña Nieto ha expresado su rechazo total a esa postura.
Ante el interés que ha despertado el muro, incluso entre empresas mexicanas, el secretario de Relaciones Exteriores, Luis Videgaray, pidió recientemente un “examen de conciencia”.
“Es pertinente que quien vea en este hecho una oportunidad económica haga un examen de conciencia, porque aquí no estamos hablando de una oportunidad económica, sino de un acto profundamente inamistoso”.
Hasta el momento no existe una cifra exacta del costo total, pues las estimaciones van de los 15 mil millones

******************

The Trump administration wants to make their proposed Mexico border wall 30-feet (9.14 m) high and make sure it is difficult to climb or cut through, according to a pair of contract notices posted to a government website further detailing President Donald Trump's promise to build a "big, beautiful wall" at the Mexican border.

The notices were made public late Friday by Customs and Border Protection and one of the CBP contract requests calls for a solid concrete wall, while the other asks for proposals for a see-through structure.

Both require the wall to be sunk at least six feet into the ground and include 25- and 50-foot (15.24 m) automated gates for pedestrians and vehicles.

The proposed wall must also be built in a such a way that it would take at least an hour to cut through it with a "sledgehammer, car jack, pick axe, chisel, battery operated impact tools, battery operated cutting tools, Oxy/acetylene torch or other similar hand-held tools."

This is the second time the Trump administration has asked for private companies to bid on building the wall.

Last month CPB put out a call for "concept papers" to design and build prototypes by March 10.

Trump has bragged in recent days that the wall is ahead of schedule, though it's unclear from the latest contract notices if any firms have submitted wall proposals or if any such submissions have been rejected.

The government has not said where the wall will be built, though the contract notices suggest some pieces of a new wall could replace existing fencing that stretches over about 700 miles (1,127 km) of the roughly 2,000 mile (3,219 km) border.

Trump has long promised that Mexico would pay for the wall, which he has said is necessary to stop the flow of immigrants crossing the border illegally and drug smugglers.

This week the president sent a budget proposal to Congress that included a $2.6 billion down payment for the wall.

The total cost for the project is unclear, but the Government Accountability Office estimates it would cost about $6.5 million a mile for fence to keep pedestrians from crossing the border and about $1.8 million a mile for a vehicle barrier.
