Summary:

This report discusses the results of a performance audit of two firm fixed-price contracts currently valued at $72.8 million for the construction of the Afghanistan National Army garrison in Kunduz Province. One objective of coalition efforts in Afghanistan is to build the country's capacity to provide for its own security by training and equipping the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF). Current plans call for the Afghanistan National Army (ANA) to grow from 103,475, as of June 2009, to almost 172,000 by October 2011. As a result, additional facilities will be needed to train, base, and house the Afghan forces. SIGAR is making three recommendations to address construction issues and improve oversight. To ensure the structural integrity of the construction of the Kunduz garrison, SIGAR recommends that the U.S. Commanding General, USACE, direct AED-North to (1) repair the welds and mitigate the rust on steel supports on the affected structures; and (2) resolve the soil stability issue and determine what mitigation or corrective actions are required for DynCorp to complete, including ensuring that the site is properly graded. Furthermore, to address contract oversight issues, SIGAR recommends that the U.S. Commanding General, USACE, direct AED-North to (3) ensure the Kunduz's garrison's contract files are maintained according to USACE guidance.
