Summary

The Secretary must send a full report about every ongoing overseas capital construction project and major embassy security upgrade to the appropriate congressional committees and to the Senate and House Appropriations Committees. The first report is due no later than 180 days after December 27, 2021, and then every 180 days until four years after that date (until December 27, 2025). Each report must give, for every project: the original cost estimate from the proposed capital construction allocation, the current cost estimate, the dollar value of each request for equitable adjustment and each certified claim received so far, how much of the project’s contingency fund has been used and how much remains, a numbered list of outstanding or unresolved requests and claims, a numbered list of fully adjudicated or settled requests and claims with the final dollar amounts, the estimated completion date shown in the proposed allocation (as provided no later than 45 days after enactment of the related appropriations Act), and the current estimated completion date. The first report must also include an annex covering all embassy construction and major security upgrade projects finished in the 10-year period ending on December 16, 2016, showing for each the original cost estimate, the amount actually spent, any extra time taken, and any cost overruns.
