Construction of Nimroz Province Border Patrol Facilities: Audit of Costs Incurred by AECOM Technical Services

Abstract

WHAT THE AUDIT REVIEWED. On August 22, 2011, the 772nd Enterprise Sourcing Squadron, in support of the Air Force Center for Engineering and the Environment - reorganized in 2012 as the Air Force Civil Engineer Center - awarded a 20-month, $26.8 million task order to URS Group, Inc. (URS). In 2014, URS was acquired by AECOM Technology, which was later reorganized to become AECOM Technical Services (AECOM). In consideration of this change, SIGAR's recommendations refer to AECOM, which is now responsible and accountable for addressing any findings related to URS's work. The purpose of the task order was to design and construct facilities and infrastructure in Nimroz province: three Border Patrol Company headquarters at Kang, Burjas, and Taba-e Talib; and one border crossing point at Zarang. After 14 modifications, the total cost of the task order decreased to $26.7 million, and the period of performance was extended to February 14, 2014.
