INTEGRAÇÃO PROJETO E OBRA EM EMPREENDIMENTO PÚBLICO DE GRANDE PORTE

Abstract

The present work presents the initial results of a research project focused on the changes on the management of public tenders for civil infrastructure projects that make use of the Integrated Contract as part of the Differentiated System of Public Procurement in Brazil. The development of this research is based on a case study, which encompasses the analysis of a project of duplication and enhancements made to a Brazilian Federal Highway. Regardless of legal matters, the results point out that the Integrated Contract allows planning the project in a staggered approach which has many benefits such as: making adjustments to the plan during the construction phase, better staff relationship in the workplace, and improved constructability scenario. Nonetheless, improvement in the integration process and the use of IT tools are necessary steps to be carried out.
