| Summary: | The local case studies for projects in
different sectors were prepared to document the bottlenecks
which occurred during the various processes involved in the
life cycle of infrastructure projects. Identifying such
processes allows a better understanding of the capacity
constraints in planning, designing, programming,
procurement, contract administration, financing and
budgeting, execution, and other stages in a project cycle.
The case studies clearly demonstrate the presence of deep
rooted systematic problems related to: (1) inadequate client
capacity to plan, procure, program, administer, and manage
projects; (2) imbalanced conditions of contracts; (3) flawed
procurement procedures (pre-qualification, bid evaluation,
negotiations, and re-negotiations with the lowest bidder)
causing significant delays; (4) mismatched project funding
needs and actual availability of funds; (5) commencement of
projects without ensuring that required funds are in place;
(6) delay in making running payments; (7) insufficient time
given for detailed design and variations in contract due to
inadequacies in design; (8) limited capacity of local
contractors; and (9) poor international bid response in mega
projects related to credibility issues. |
