In response to the migrant caravan approaching the United States, the President of the
United States ordered the Department of Defense to assist and support Cxtoms and
Border Protection (CBP) with securing Points of Entry and to fortify areas of
vuherabJñy along the southwest border between the United States and Mexico.
Based on the migrant caravan’s history and propensity for violence, the San Diego
Sector Headquarters identéied tfiree high threat areas along the Border for immediate
impedance and denial measures to prevent illegal entry.
Priority #l, the Surf Fence in the lmperd Beach Area of Operations.
Priority #2, the Tijuana River Channel in the ImperJ Beach Area of Operations.
Priority #3, the Train Gate in the Chula Vista Area of Operations.
These high priority requirements were assigned to the military command supporting
the San Diego S.ector Headquarters who then initiated design pinning and developing
material requéements.
On November 17, 2018 the military notified the San Diego Sector Headquarters fat
they would not respond to the three requirements &cause the locations needed
additional International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC) and envéonmental
clearances.
Upon receipt of the military declination, the Office of Border Patrol (OBP) made an
urgent request to Border Paool and Aé and Marine Office (BPAM) for support to
immediate9 fortify the three high priority areas.
Other contract vehicles were available to address Priority l and 3; however, priority 2
would require a separate urgent contract. Thi I&A addresses specifically, priority 2
work.
Based on the number (10k) of migrant caravan members, theé propensity for violence
and a proxénity to the border of the United States, there was no opportunity or time to
consider mukiple sources to respond to Priority #2, the work in the TJ River.
The Contracting Officer will perform price ana9sis pursuant to FAR 15.402. The
