Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A December 2006 amendment to the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction's (SIGIR) enabling legislation and an expanded mandate in the 2008 National Defense Authorization Act, P.L. 110-181, require that SIGIR prepare a final forensic audit report "on all amounts appropriated or otherwise made available for the reconstruction of Iraq." Under this requirement, SIGIR has undertaken a series of focused contract audits to examine major Iraq reconstruction contracts. The objective of these audits is to examine contract outcome, cost, and management oversight, emphasizing issues related to vulnerabilities to fraud, waste, and abuse. This report is the seventh in a series of focused contract audits. It examines reconstruction work contracted by the U.S. government and performed by Parsons Delaware, Inc. (Parsons). In March 2004, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, on behalf of the Coalition Provisional Authority, awarded Parsons a cost-plus award-fee contract (W914NS-04-D-0009) to provide design and construction services in Iraq' security and justice sector. This contract was one of twelve design-build construction contracts approved by the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Policy and Procurement to provide an overarching framework of construction capability to restore the Iraqi infrastructure. The contracts were issued in six defined work sectors, such as water, oil, transportation, and electric. The contracts were competitively awarded and included a two-year base period with three one-year option periods. This contracting approach was intended to allow continuity of operations and facilitate recompetition after the completion of these contracts.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Product Description: The billions of dollars expended in Iraq constitute the largest relief and reconstruction exercise in American history. SIGIR's lessons learned capping report characterizes this effort in four phases (pre-war to ORHA, CPA, post-CPA/Negroponte era, and Khalilzad, Crocker, and the Surge). From this history, SIGIR forwards a series of conclusions and recommendations for Congress to consider when organizing for the next post-conflict reconstruction situation. Over the past five years, the United States has provided nearly fifty billion dollars for the relief and reconstruction of Iraq. This unprecedented rebuilding program, implemented after the March 2003 invasion, was developed to restore Iraq's essential services, build Iraq's security forces, create a market-based economy, and establish a democratic government--all in pursuit of U.S. interests in a stable and free Iraq. Did the U.S. rebuilding program achieve its objectives? Was the money provided well-spent or wasted? What lessons have we learned from the experience? Hard Lessons: The Iraq Reconstruction Experience, a report from the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR), answers these and other important questions by presenting a comprehensive history of the U.S. program, chiefly derived from SIGIR's body of extensive oversight work in Iraq, hundreds of interviews with key figures involved with the reconstruction program, and thousands of documents evidencing the reconstruction work that was - or was not - done. The report examines the limited pre-war planning for reconstruction, the shift from a large infrastructure program to a more community-based one, and the success of the Surge in 2007 and beyond. Hard Lessons concludes that the U.S. government did not have the structure or resources in place to execute the mammoth relief and reconstruction plan it took on in 2003. The lessons learned from this experience create a basis for reviewing and reforming the U.S. approach to contingency relief and reconstruction operations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A combination of poor planning, weak oversight and greed cheated U.S. taxpayers and undermined American forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. U.S. taxpayers have paid nearly $51 billion for projects in Iraq, including training the Iraqi army and police and rebuilding Iraq's oil, electric, justice, health and transportation sectors. Many of the projects did not succeed, partly because of violence in Iraq and friction between U.S. officials in Washington and Iraqi officials in Baghdad. The U.S. gov¿t. "was neither prepared for nor able to respond quickly to the ever-changing demands" of stabilizing Iraq and then rebuilding it. This report reviews the problems in the war effort, which the Bush admin. claimed would cost $2.4 billion. Charts and tables.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project assessment was originally initiated to support the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction's focused financial review of work performed by Parsons Delaware Incorporated (SIGIR Audit Number 8006, "Outcome, Cost, and Oversight of the Security and Justice Contract with Parsons Delaware, Inc."). One of Parsons' projects was the Kahn Bani Sa'ad Correctional Facility, a $40 million effort that the U.S. government ultimately terminated for default on the part of Parsons in June 2006. When the project was terminated, Parsons had only partially completed the facility; subsequently, the U.S. government awarded three successive contracts to complete the work. In June 2007, however, citing security issues, the U.S. government terminated all remaining work on the project and left more than $1.2 million in materials at the site. SIGIR visited the Kahn Bani Sa'ad Correctional Facility project site to verify the current status and the condition of the material. The assessment reviewed the original work of Parsons and the work of the three additional contracts awarded to continue construction of the correctional facility--including rehabilitating the Kahn Bani Sa'ad electrical substation and installing an underground cable feeder line.
