Office of the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lack of security, the absence of protection against infrastructure looting, and poor pre-war maintenance were the major contributors to the cost of this contract. What KBR improved was better than the pre-war facilities, but unless the Government of Iraq completes what KBR started and maintains what it provided, the value of KBR's effort will be diminished and possibly lost. This and other SIGIR audits have identified the importance of preparing the Government of Iraq for assuming responsibility for the assets transferred to it and highlight the need to ensure unity of effort among responsible U.S. agencies.

Download or read book Outcome Cost and Oversight of Iraq Reconstruction Contract W914NS 04 D 0006 written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In March 2004, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, on behalf of the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA), awarded Parsons Delaware, Inc. (Parsons) a cost-plus-award-fee contract (W9l4NS-04-D-0006) to provide design and construction services. This contract was one often design/build construction contracts approved by the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army (Policy and Procurement) to provide an overarching framework for procuring design/build construction services to restore the Iraqi infrastructure. The contracts were issued in defined work sectors, such as the electric sector and the water resources and sanitation sector. This Parsons contract was awarded for projects in the buildings, housing, and health care sectors. The statement of work for each contract was generic and performance based, however, the Parsons contract identified three objectives: repair and renovate selected Iraqi ministry buildings that suffered severe looting, vandalism and some fire damage; renovate and repair Iraq hospitals to improve functions and cleanliness required of hospitals; build new primary health care clinics throughout Iraq. These objectives were to be accomplished by issuing task orders against the basic contract. The govern%ment subsequently issued a total of 14 task orders against the contract's $500 million ceiling: 11 task orders for construction projects, and 3 task orders for mobilization, program support services, and contract close-out. These were the 11 construction task orders: 2 construction task orders to renovate or repair three Iraqi ministry facilities; 6 task orders to renovate 20 existing Iraqi hospitals; 3 task orders to design and construct 150 Primary Healthcare Centers (PHCs) The objectives of this audit were to assess (1) the outcome of work initiated under this contract, and (2) adequacy of the internal controls used for contract management.

Numerous examples help the reader grasp the full range of real-world challenges and conceptual facets surrounding this fascinating, yet highly polarizing topic.
