As principais causas de aditivos de replanilhamento em obras públicas de engenharia na prefeitura municipal de Maranguape-Ce.

Abstract

Contract amendments were created to be used in exceptional situations, when problems or difficulties are encountered during the execution of public works, if the project or the schedule of these works is compromised. However, their use is being related to the deficiency of the production process and management during the construction of a project. With this in mind, in order for the use of public resources to be as efficient as possible, it is necessary to investigate the causes of contractual additives so that the Administration may avoid financial losses and delays in the works' delivery schedule. Through a case study, this paper seeks to investigate the occurrence of requests for contractual amendments and analyze the justifications for their frequent use in works of a state public agency between the years 2018 and 2021. For the research, the contracts in this period were surveyed and analyzed to quantify the main causers of contractual additives. The results confirmed the existence of the problem when they show that 71% of the works that had their execution completed had contractual amendments, whether of increase or decrease in value. As the value adjustments are limited by the Bidding Law, another observation raised is that in most of the works. The additives under study are also related to recurrent modifications in the basic projects that represent 28% of the causes of occurrence of contractual additives. Finally, this study opens perspectives for new research related to the analysis of public works budgets, aiming at the continuous improvement of the process of project preparation, contracting and inspection of public works.
