Plumbing Repairs at the Baghdad Police College, Baghdad, Iraq.

摘要

SIGIR performed this assessment to determine the status of actions taken to address previously identified plumbing deficiencies in the cadet barracks at the Baghdad Police College. The objective of the projects was to provide plumbing repairs and additional new construction required to provide latrine facilities for up to 3,200 cadets at the Baghdad Police College. SIGIR accomplished this sustainment assessment to determine if the projects were operating at full capability or capacity when transferred to the Government of Iraq. As a result of the experience with the Baghdad Police College, the Multi- National Security Transition Command-Iraq (MNSTC-I) has implemented a number of lessons learned on subsequent contracting actions that SIGIR finds appropriate. Plumbing is no longer installed in barracks. All plumbing is included in single- story stand-alone latrine buildings. Separate latrine buildings are constructed for each building or unit occupying a building. Gravity-fed water systems are used, not water-pressure systems. Gravity-fed water systems pump water up to roof-top storage tanks when electricity is available. Water is then available when power is off, which is often the case in Iraq. Although management comments were not required, MNSTC-I representatives reviewed the draft report and provided additional information and informal comments for clarity and accuracy. The final report was revised as appropriate.
