Afghan Ministry of Commerce and Industries Replacement Building in Kunduz Province: Some Construction Deficiencies Were Not Addressed and the $3.5 Million Building May Not be in Use

Abstract

On September 27, 2016, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) awarded a $3.2 million firm-fixed-price contract to Technologists Inc. (TI), a U.S. company, to design and construct a building for the Afghan Ministry of Commerce and Industries (MOCI) in Kunduz Province. This new building replaced an MOCI building that a U.S. airstrike damaged on October 3, 2015. The objectives of this inspection were to determine whether (1) the construction was completed in accordance with contract requirements and applicable construction standards, and (2) the facilities are being used and maintained.
