Why Is The US Spending Hundreds Of Millions On These Secret Israeli Bunkers?
Last year it was announced the U.S. was looking to build a secret underground complex in Israel. On February 13 a contract was awarded to Conti Corp Federal Services in Edison, NJ to complete the project.
Their bid of almost $63 million came in well below the possible $100 million set aside for the project.
Conti's bid went toward building five underground levels and six above ground buildings that they have 900 days from February 13 to complete.
The U.S. government then issued another request for proposal December 28 to construct Site 81 Phase II. Also in Israel, also partially underground, this project calls for up to $100,000,000 to refinish six underground facilities and some currently occupied surface buildings.
Walter Pincus from the Washington Post fleshed out the original Proposal construction project, called Site 911 in November.

Pincus also found this detailed description of the mezuzahs that will adorn every door in the facility:
These mezuzas, notes the [US Army] Corps, shall be written in in-erasable ink, on .?.?. un-coated leather parchment and be handwritten by a scribe holding a written authorization according to Jewish law. The writing may be Ashkenazik or Sepharadik but not a mixture and must be uniform.
Also, The Mezuzahs shall be proof-read by a computer at an authorized institution for Mezuzah inspection, as well as manually proof-read for the form of the letters by a proof-reader authorized by the Chief Rabbinate. The mezuza shall be supplied with an aluminum housing with holes so it can be connected to the door frame or opening. Finally, All Mezuzahs for the facility shall be affixed by the Bases Rabbi or his appointed representative and not by the contractor staff.
