WEBINAR: Building a Border Wall: Opportunities, Contractual Risks, and Business Considerations

Webinar | 04.25.17, 9:00 AM EDT - 10:30 AM EDT

The Trump administration published two contract solicitations for the design-build of a “border wall” between the U.S. and Mexico, one of the earliest and oft-repeated campaign promises. The RFPs (linked here and here) contemplate a multiple-award, multiple-phase approach for acquiring prototypes and, eventually, full construction.


With contemplated billion-dollar budgets, opportunities abound for prime and subcontractors. But government contractors must also be aware of the potential contractual risks with such a unique, large-scale border project involving eminent domain, such as potential changes, delays, differing site conditions, security considerations, and funding shortfalls. There are also unique business risks, with several local governments already considering proposals to “blacklist” contractors that participate.

Terminations, Stop Work Orders, and De-Scopes – The Latest Updates and Recovery Opportunities for USAID Contractors and Grant Recipients

In 2025, the U.S. Government’s policy statements and Executive Orders have had far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Although terminations, stop work orders, and de-scopes have affected private companies, non-profits, and universities doing business across multiple agencies, the U.S. Government’s policies relating to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has caused particular confusion and uncertainty relating to performance, compliance, and contractual procedure. Key questions have included the potential impacts of official and less formal communications from the U.S. Government, procedural issues arising from the move of certain functions to the U.S. Department of State, and the effect of various pending litigations. As businesses and organizations plan for 2026, the importance of preserving their rights and maximizing potential recovery opportunities remains paramount.
