I lived in So. CAL when the Northridge Earthquake hit. Our freeways were costing us millions of dollars a day. With coordination and cooperation between, local, state, and Federal government they were rebuilt in record time with incentives and disincentives in the contracts. Don't tell me we can't do it for the fence.

It's a 52-page article with more info. I just want to say I'm using this information for NO EXCUSES WHY THEY CAN'T GET THAT FENCE BUILT AND IN RECORD TIME. YES IT'S MORE BUT WHEN YOU HAVE SEVERAL CONTRACTORS AS WE DID IN THIS CASE --- IT CAN BE DONE.
