Site Visit Report: 100-Bed Gardez Hospital and 20-Bed Khair Kot Hospital

The facilities were designed and constructed to be energy efficient and built in accordance with the International Building Code and standards. The 100-bed Gardez Hospital was substantially completed in December 2015, and a joint substantial completion inspection was conducted by International Relief & Development (IRD) and International Organization for Migration (IOM). Punch lists (PLs) were created for contractors to rectify, but the testing and commissioning (T&C) of the systems was not witnessed by USAID/IRD. IOM was responsible for rectifying the PL items and making the systems ready for T&C, but was unable to complete this task before March 10, 2016. As a result, USAID was unable to verify and confirm the rectification of the PL items and witness the T&C of the remaining systems. On June 25, 2016, Tetra Tech (Tt) Afghanistan Engineering Support Program (AESP) conducted a site visit to the 100-bed Gardez Hospital to inspect and verify the current status of the outstanding PL items and to witness the testing and operation of the remaining systems. The Tt team inspected the status of all 16 PL items and found that all 11 remaining PL items not transferred to the warranty period list were rectified. The five remaining PL items still needed rectification by the contractor. The HVAC system was tested and commissioned by IOM QC, and the T&C certificates were provided to Tt. The Tt Site Inspectors witnessed and verified the operation of the HVAC system and found it to be in good condition. On June 30, 2016, Tt AESP conducted a site visit to the 20-bed Khair Kot Hospital to inspect and verify the current status of the outstanding PL items and to witness the testing and operation of the remaining systems. The Tt team inspected the status of all 11 PL items and found that most of the remaining PL items were closed, except for the replacement of the Air Handling Unit (AHU) with a unit of greater capacity. The Tt Inspectors witnessed testing and operation of Fuel Transfer Pumps and LPG System and found them to be functioning properly.
