Hence, these projects are in urgent need of quality management on the base of application of contract administration processes. This report analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of the existing contract administration processes to achieve good quality management which is undertaken by DOH and FCGC company and also presents the framework for achieving quality management by applying contract administration for ODA projects of road improvement sector in DOH. In this road improvement project, the contract administration process has four stages which consist of pre-tendering, tendering, construction and closeout stages. At each stage, contract administration practice is applied with quality management in construction. The quality management system is not accustomed in Myanmar and the owner cannot administer contract practices effectively to get the qualified project. Therefore, DOH must implement the quality management system regarding on the quality policy, quality manual and quality procedures. And also DOH should administer and apply the contract processes with quality assurance and quality control programs. The contractor must submit the project quality plan and implement as well. |
