Differences in Services and Fees for Management and Administration of Iraq Reconstruction Contracts
Abstract
After the U.S. government discovered that Iraq s infrastructure was in far worse condition than pre-war assessments had indicated, billions of dollars were appropriated to assist in reviving the infrastructure and economy. Early on a number of different organizations were involved in managing and administering the reconstruction contracts awarded under the U.S. programs. However, the Gulf Region Division (GRD) of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the Air Force Center for Engineering and the Environment (AFCEE), a field operating agency of the Air Force Civil Engineer, are two primary organizations providing project management and contract administration services for major Iraq reconstruction projects. Officials involved in reconstruction efforts have expressed interest in an analysis of the two organizations management and administration procedures, particularly the fees they charged. The SIGIR reporting objective was to (1) compare and contrast GRD and AFCEE management and administration of Iraq reconstruction projects, including the services provided and fees charged, and (2) determine the extent to which DoD has assessed the efficiency and cost effectiveness of these activities.
