More Book Details

Description of the Book:

Since 2003, the U.S. government has appropriated more than $50 billion for Iraq reconstruction. Approximately $46 billion was appropriated through four Iraq reconstruction accounts, which were managed primarily by two Department of Defense (DoD) agencies: the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Gulf Region Division (GRD) the Joint Contracting Command-Iraq/Afghanistan (JCC-I/A) As of July 2008, approximately $38.37 billion of this amount had been obligated, much of it SIGIR has often been asked about problems in the U.S. reconstruction program, including the extent to which contracts have been terminated because of poor performance by contractors. Government contracts generally contain clauses that allow the U.S. government to end a contract if the need for the supplies or services no longer exists, if the contractor’s performance becomes unsatisfactory, and if some other situation develops that warrants contract closure. In addressing contract terminations, SIGIR previously issued an interim report on the availability of aggregate information on such contract actions involving Iraq reconstruction projects managed by DoD implementing agencies.

That interim report provided an overview of the process for terminating contracts for convenience and default, as well as available information about contract terminations. This follow-on report provides additional insights on factors and circumstances related to contract terminations of selected projects and the reasons for them
