BFBC Lands $230M Army Contract for Barrier Fence Construction

The U.S. Army has awarded BFBC a potential $230.9 million contract to design and build new protective barrier fencing and access gate installations, and enhance roadways.

Contract Scope

The Department of Defense said Wednesday the Bozeman, Montana-based company will install perimeter fencing and carry out additional contracted work in San Luis, Arizona. The project is scheduled for completion by Aug. 18, 2026.

The firm-fixed-price contract is initially valued at $174 million with a potential maximum payout of $230.9 million. Funds were obligated at the time of the award from fiscal year 2021 section 2803 emergency military construction funds of the Army, Air Force and Navy, along with Department of Defense-wide allocations.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in San Francisco, California, solicited proposals via the Internet and received four bids. The contract was awarded on Aug. 15.

Previous Contracts

In July 2020, BFBC received a one-year, $138 million contract modification to update the electrical systems supporting the southern border wall in Yuma, Arizona. The Barnard Construction affiliate also secured a $569 million contract modification in April to construct a 17.17-mile security wall along San Diego and El Centro in California.
