Afghan Ministry of Defense Headquarters Security and Support Brigade: Facility Construction Generally Met Contract Requirements, but Three Safety Related Concerns Need to Be Addressed
On September 8, 2011, the Air Force Center for Engineering and the Environment awarded a $16.5 million cost-plus-fixed-fee task order - number 0049 - to Innovative Technical Solutions Inc. (ITSI) to construct facilities for the Ministry of Defense (MOD) Headquarters Security and Support Brigade (HSSB) in Kabul. ITSI was to demolish, renovate, design, and construct 16 facilities, such as a gym, a vehicle maintenance building, and an administration/barrack building, by September 7, 2013. The facilities would accommodate 2,200 Afghan National Army (ANA) personnel. After five modifications, the estimated contract cost increased to $35.1 million, and the completion date was extended to July 13, 2014. The Air Force closed out this task order in June 2014 before ITSI completed any of the facilities. On July 30, 2014, the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) awarded Gilbane Federal - the new corporate name for ITSI - a $10.6 million firm-fixed-price task order to complete the HSSB facilities by July 31, 2015. This task order - number TG06 - also required site grading, road construction, and upgrades to the sewage, site water, and storm water management systems. On July 31, 2015, AFCEC awarded Gilbane Federal an $18.6 million firm-fixed-price task order - number TG11 - to finish construction of the partially completed facilities by March 14, 2016. After three modifications, this task order's cost increased to $19.8 million. The project was completed in November 2015. The objectives for this inspection were to determine whether (1) construction was completed in accordance with contract requirements and applicable construction standards, and (2) the facilities were being used and maintained.
