The purposes of study is to propose a new method contract price adjustment in construction projects. The research method of this study includes a case analysis and questionnaire survey. The results of this study are as follows: 1) For improvement method of contract amount adjustment, enactment for legislation pertaining to computation methods such as military's organization through total unit cost, and price flexibility computation at the point of design modification were presented. 2) Arithmetic formulas for cases in which volume is deleted or modified below the price flexibility exemption amount or in which there is no change to quantity, at the occurrence of design modification resulting from price flexibility, were proposed.

Index adjusted ratio method has been widely utilized in public construction sector for contract sum adjustment by price fluctuation. In this method, the Production Price Index are used for the base ratio, but the PPI can't reflect the character of construction project in respect of the selected items and weight. In this research we prove the problem of using the index adjusted ration method in contact sum adjustment by price fluctuation, and improve it by using the construction cost index, which has the property of construction project. And we figure out the efficiency of the proposed method by case study.

기획재정부는 최근 중소건설업계의 경영환경 악화에 따른 경영애로를 완화하고 불합리한 제도를 개선하기 위해 국가 계약관련 회계예규를 개정하고 지난 11월 1일부터 시행에 들어갔다. 개정된 회계예규는 원자재 가격급등시 계약금액의 10% 범위 내에서 선금을 추가지급하게 해 이 돈을 자재확보 용도로 우선 사용할 수 있게 했다. 또한 원자재 가격급등으로 인한 계약금액의 조정을 원활하게 하기 위한 기준도 신설했다. 물가변동이 5% 이상물품구매는 10% 이상 상승하는 등 원자재 가격급등시에는 계약일로부터 90일 이내라도 계약금액을 조정할 수 있도록 했다. 현행 원자재 가격급등으로 인한 계약금액 조정은 일반적으로 계약일로부터 90일이 경과하고 물가변동이 3% 증감한 경우 기능하게 돼 있다. 대한설비건설협회는 자재가 급등으로 설비건설업계기 어려움에 처하자 자재가격 급등에 따른 계약금액을 변동시켜 줄 수 있도록 관련법 개정을 요청한 바 있다. 이에 따라 기획재정부기 회계예규 개정에 대한설비건설협회의 의견을 수용, 반영한 것이다. 개정된 회계예규는 또 종합건설업과 전문건설업간 겸업제한 폐지 및 실적인정에 따른 영업기간 인성 규정을 마련, 새로 등록한 업종으로 공공공사 입찰에 참여할 수 있게 해 종합 전문건설업간 상호 진출에 기여토록 했다. 지역중소업체 입찰참여가 쉽도록 1천억원 이상 대형공사(턴키 등) 에서 공동수급체 구성원수를 10 인 이내로 확대하기로 했다. 또한 300억원 미만의 적격심사낙찰제 대상공사 입찰시에 기업의 경영상태 평가는 원칙적으로 1년 이내 기업신용평가등급으로 평가하기로 했다. 이밖에 공동수급체 대표자 또는 수급인이 선금을 수령하고도 정당한 이유없이 공동수급체 구성원 또는 하수급인에게 배분하지 않는 사례를 막기 위해 계약담당공무원이 선금 배분여부를 확인하도록 하고 선금 사용 용도도 명시적으로 규정했다.

Article 64 of the Enforcement Decree of the National Contract Act The requirement of the pre-amendment statute related to the adjustment of the contract price was 5% or more of the price fluctuation rate from the date of the contract. However, the meeting requirement was changed from 5% or more to 3% or more from the date of signing of the Presidential Decree No. 19035 to 2005. 9. 8. The method of adjusting the contract amount was also changed to determine the contractor's desired adjustment method at the time of contract. Alleviating these requirements and revising the empowerment of contract partners is intended to prevent difficulties in achieving smooth objectives by applying to public construction contractors without unfairly benefiting or unfavorable to contract partners. Even if the standards are relaxed and the rights are secured as described above, if the existing provisions for the adjustment of price fluctuation are applied, unlike the original purpose of the government system, the Korea Bank's price economic statistics classification method and the contract construction classification criteria applied in public construction work Due to the inconsistency, it can be seen that the amount of adjustment for price fluctuation by construction type is excessive and underestimated. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze problems through cases and to make appropriate construction cost adjustment through improvement measures.

There are several causes to recalculate the contract amount in public construction projects. Among them, the escalation clause was introduced in 1969 and now the condition to recalculate the cost is effective after 90 days from the date of contract and the rate of fluctuation should be more than 3% from the date of bidding. The two calculation methods for the rate of fluctuation are item-adjustment and index-adjustment. According to the results of investigation into 4 public institutions and 163 projects, all of them have used the method of index-adjustment and the rate of projects that spend over 6 months obtaining the approval of contract amount adjustment is more than 90%. The reason for spending lots of time is caused by problems of the calculation method on the price fluctuation rate. Therefore, it is necessary that the calculation method should be diversified to cope with the problems and a option of the builder should be expanded as well. Furthermore, if the way to apply correction factors to construction price index and average index based on the producer and consumer price index made by the bank of Korea is added, then the duration will be reduced without additional expenses. This study proposed the diversification of the calculation method using price fluctuation rate and builders' expanded options as improvement on the managerial method of Price Fluctuation System for the prompt and efficient contract amount adjustment.

The construction of a facility is an act whereby infrastructure such as roads and railways and other facilities such as housing and office spaces are constructed, and due to the characteristics of the relevant industry where such construction is carried out in a custom order method, it requires a long period of time mostly. While the construction is carried out over a long period of time, fluctuations in the price of raw materials required for the construction occur. Therefore, the cost of the construction also fluctuates inevitably. The fluctuation of the construction cost meshes closely with the profit of a constructor and the efficiency of government spending. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the construction cost at a reasonable level by adjusting the construction cost rationally in order to secure the required construction quality and spend the budget efficiently. The buffer system for solving such problem is the contract amount adjustment system by fluctuations in prices (Escalation/De-Escalation). In this study, the method combining the escalation method based on the item adjustment method was suggested for an efficient contract amount adjustment method. In addition, it is proposed that there be an investigation and codification of matters not applied to government acts and regulations on contracts related to the adjustment of fluctuations in prices legally.

Construction cost index is generally used to estimate the new project cost based on past construction data and to adjust the contract cost when the price change of various articles and items of expenditure composing the contract occurs. In Korea, it is mostly used for modulation of construction contract cost due to fluctuation of prices. However the method for making cost index had some problems in calculating cost index of each expenditure item that could not properly reflect the change of construction cost. To supplement these problems, the research of developing construction cost index has been executed. Through the precedent research, these problems were partially resolved but still remain. Therefore this research proposes the method for making cost index that utilizes representative items of labor, material, equipment by analyzing bill of quantity of road construction, through analysis and comparison of precedent studies. By using this method, it is expected to solve the problems which were not reflected in preceeding studies.
