# CBP Constructs Newton-Azrak Vehicle Maintenance Facility

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is undertaking the construction of a new $28.7 million vehicle maintenance facility at the Newton-Azrak Station in Murrieta, California. Funded by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, this project replaces an outdated off-site garage with a secure, purpose-built facility designed to support maintenance, storage, and operational readiness for over 92 vehicles. The design-build contract valued at approximately $23 million has been awarded to the Haskell Company, emphasizing a long-term investment in infrastructure to enhance border patrol capabilities and fleet management.

- The project is a significant infrastructure upgrade for CBP, improving operational efficiency and security for vehicle maintenance at a key border patrol station.
- Procurement professionals should note the use of a design-build contracting approach, which may influence future facility projects within DHS agencies.
- Contractors specializing in construction and facility management in California may find opportunities in similar federal infrastructure projects funded by recent appropriations.
- The facility's focus on operational readiness highlights ongoing federal investment in border security infrastructure, signaling potential for related maintenance and support service contracts.
