Sažetak
The most significant and pivotal advance in
each construction project is to choose the right contractor which is normally done by a pre-qualification system.
Pre-qualification of contractor is a course of gathering
data and evaluation that decides the contractor’s capacity
as far as considering assets accessible, management processes and execution information. However, the current
prequalification system witnesses many limitations such
as contractor selection (CS) based on L1 bidder concept
which may compromise with time, cost and quality of
project; non-usage of a quantified mathematical model
or software for selection of most competent contractor
might as well compromise the system. The objective of
this paper was to highlight the need of strengthening the
existing pre-qualification system used in Indian roads and
highway projects. To achieve the above stated objective of
the research, the project-specific data were collected from
25 different road and highway projects. The analysis of the
collected data showed that there was negative impact in
terms of time and cost requirements, which was observed
in all the projects even if the contractor was selected using
the prequalification system. The main reasons identified
for the delays and cost overruns were land acquisition
issues, suspension of work during monsoon season and
maintenance work of bitumen refineries, claims and disputes between contractor and clients, inefficiency of con
tractors while dealing with scope change, etc.
