Trump Donor Tim Barnard's Company Awarded Billions for Big Bend Project
Tim Barnard and his wife donated $1 million to a Trump fundraising committee in 2024.
Montana-based Barnard Construction Company, headed by a prominent donor to President Donald Trump, has secured significant federal contracts for border barrier projects in West Texas. The company, founded in 1975 by Tim Barnard, has received nearly $2 billion in Big Bend region contracts and additional funding totaling over $5.6 billion across Trump's second term.
CBP awarded Barnard Construction two contracts, $1.1 billion for the Big Bend 1 Wall Project and $940 million for the Big Bend 3 Wall Project, for the construction of approximately 103 miles of border wall with detection technology. Despite a competitor's lawsuit alleging unfair contract allocation, Barnard Construction remains a major player in the Trump administration's border security initiatives.
