Afghan National Police Women's Compound at the Ministry of Interior: Construction Generally Met Requirements, but Use and Maintenance Remain Concerns
Abstract
On September 15, 2015, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) awarded a $3 million firm-fixed-price contract to Afghan Construction Companies Umbrella (ACCU) to develop the site and design and build an Afghan National Police (ANP) womens compound within the Ministry of Interior (MOI) headquarters complex in Kabul, Afghanistan. The contract required ACCU to construct multiple facilities, including a barrack, childcare center, conference center, administration building, fitness center, latrine facility, laundry facility, trash collection point, and a perimeter wall with entrance gates. USACE issued four contract modifications, which increased the contracts value to approximately $3.1 million. The modifications included building a sunshade canopy for the childcare center, changing the perimeter walls location, and changing the parking areas surface from asphalt to concrete. On July 8, 2017, USACE transferred the completed project to the Combined Security Transition CommandAfghanistan (CSTC-A), and on August 24, 2017, CSTC-A transferred the facilities to the MOI. The 1-year warranty for the compound expired on June 18, 2018. 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.
