An Arizona-based construction company is making an offer to Trump administration officials to build 218 miles of wall along the U.S.-Mexico border for $3.3 billion and have the entire job completed in 13 months.

The Washington Examiner reports Fisher Industries President Tommy Fisher is meeting this week with top Department of Homeland Security officials, along with Democrats and Republicans in Congress, to sell his plan that would involve four regions of barrier fencing near Yuma and Tucson, Ariz., El Paso, Texas, and El Centro, Calif.

Fisher said it can build 218 miles of 18-foot steel bollard fence, along with other technology for a little over $3 billion, a fraction of the nearly $6 billion President Trump requested from Congress in December.
