(IRD) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) for the period November 30, 2007 through December 31, 2012.On November 30, 2007, USAID awarded the Agreement to IRD in the amount of $399,999,346, of which $136,000,000 was obligated and $500,000 was a non-Federal cost-sharing amount. The initial period of performance was through December 31, 2010. This Agreement has been modified 15 times increasing the total amount of the Agreement to $497,535,342, of which $320,585,689 has been obligated. The purpose of Agreement was to conduct activities focused on supporting a regional roads program for eastern and southern Afghanistan by constructing approximately 1,863.4 kilometers of engineered gravel roads in 12 southern and eastern provinces of Afghanistan through the Strategic Provincial Roads (SPR) Program. The roads to be rehabilitated were identified by USAID in association with the U.S. Military and local and national government of Afghanistan entities. In addition to the rehabilitation of provincial roads, special development assistance components, such as capacity building and community development activities were sought to maximize the impact of the roads and ensure sustainability of the rehabilitated roads.
