Al Hadi Permanent Police Station, Basrah, Iraq
Abstract
The objective of this project assessment was to determine if project components were adequately designed, construction complied with design standards, adequate quality management programs were used, project sustainability was addressed, and project results were consistent with the original objectives. The objective of this $1.2 million Iraq Security Forces Fund project was to design and construct a local police station compound near the city of Basrah, Iraq. On 30 September 2009, SIGIR performed an on-site assessment of the Al Hadi Permanent Police Station project. During the site visit, the GRS Adder Area Office representative and security team accompanied SIGIR. Due to scheduling, the total time available on site was approximately one hour. The Statement of Work required the contractor to prepare the site and construct the two-story building, to include: 11 offices, an armory, a jail with a bathroom, a break room, a small kitchen, two main bathroom and shower areas, three office bathrooms, four dormitories, two utility rooms, and a communication and electrical room. Project components were adequately designed prior to construction. Although only 32% complete, construction was in compliance with the design standards. The contractor's quality control and the U.S. government's quality assurance programs were effective. SIGIR reviewed the daily quality assurance reports and found that they were effective in showing construction problems identified and corrected at the project site. Sustainability was addressed in the contract requirements. The contract included sustainability elements to assist the Iraqis in operating this project after turnover. If the observed construction and oversight continue, project results should be consistent with their original objective of constructing a new local police station.
