Archi District Police Headquarters: Extensive Mold, Lack of Running Water, and Inoperable Electrical Systems Show Facilities Are Not Being Sustained

Abstract

WHAT SIGAR REVIEWED. On March 4, 2008, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, (USACE) Afghanistan Engineer District-North (USACE-TAN) awarded a $4.2million firm fixed-price contract to Swiz Hewadwal Joint Venture to construct nine district police headquarters for the Afghan National Police (ANP), including $708,331 for the Archi District Police Headquarters (ADPH) project. On March 12, 2009, USACE-TAN modified the contract to limit the Archi project to construction of force protection measures--perimeter walls, guard towers, main and secondary entry control points, a guard shack, and a guard house--which reduced the Archi project amount from $708,331 to $289,185. For this inspection, we assessed whether (1) construction had been completed in accordance with contract requirements and applicable construction standards, and (2) the facilities were being used as intended and maintained.
