Earnings of domestic enterprises are expected a serious damage because the lowest cost bid system and the current cost estimate system. In 2005 average successful bid rate for the lowest cost bid project is below 60%, this is not reach at the operating budget of enterprise. Many problems such as illegal construction, low price subcontract, chain enterprise loss com in to practice because of low successful bid rate. In addition earnings of the enterprises expected to be the minimum, because of enlarge execution of the current cost estimate system. This study tries to lend assistance by giving alternative for the construction enterprise by presenting the bid system, investigate and compare foreign system with domestic and analyze correlation of the lowest cost bid and the current cost estimate system.

기획재정부는 공사의 분할 분리발주 관련규정 등을 정비하고 최저가낙찰제 확대유예 등의 내용을 담은 국가계약법 시행령 개정안을 지난 11월 8일 입법예고 했다. 이 법안은 20일 동안 업계 의견을 수렴한 후 법령안 심사 및 차관 국무회의 등을 거쳐 공포될 예정이다. 이번 국가계약법 시행령 개정안은 그동안 대한설비건설협회가 전사적으로 추진해 온 분리발주 법제화와 최저가낙찰제 연기 방안을 담고 있어 건설업계의 관심이 집중되고 있다. 분할 분리발주 규정은 분리발주가 보다 활성화 될 수 있도록 대상을 구체화했으며, 사업의 계획단계부터 분리발주 가능 여부를 판단토록 개선됐다. 또한 300억 이상에서 100억 이상으로 확대될 예정이던 최저가낙찰제 확대 방안은 오는 2015년까지 2년간 유예되고 최저가낙찰제 대체 방안으로 종합심사제가 제안되는 등 정부의 입 낙찰제도 개선 방향의 가닥이 잡혔다.

The contract price of successful bidders in domestic public work projects has dropped significantly under lowest bidding process. Furthermore, compared to the U.S. and Japan, the bids are substantially lower. The increasing trend for domestic construction companies to bid projects without considering markup or expected profit, with the purpose of gaining experience for future similar work, has contributed to the overall dumping in bid prices. The government has implemented controls in hopes of reducing the price dropping trend but these have yet to work in the market. This study determines the level of significance of the contract price of the successful bidder in domestic public works projects and identifies factors that cause bid-dropping by comparing to those of the US and Japan. By mirroring advance countries' rules and regulations to prevent an abnormally low bidder, recommendation are provided to keep unrealistically low bidders from winning the work.

This paper considers the effect of various types of procurement auction system on competition focusing on the rate of successful bidding. We analyze the number of bidders and the rate of successful bids using online procurement data of the Public Procurement Service. The average number of bidders is 301 and the average rate of successful bids is 87.42% while the weighted average rate is 75.13%. These numbers show that there is quite strong competition among bidders and the rate is lower as the expected price is higher. When we analyze the data of price procurement auction, the rate is also shown to be lower as the expected price is higher. Furthermore, the rate decreases as the number of bidders increases which naturally makes the competition stronger. Meanwhile, the analysis finds that the inclusion of the onsite bidding, the PQ(Pre-Qualification) result, or major-10 winning companies cannot explain the rate much in our data. In case of turnkey-alternative, the average rate of successful bidding for 484 cases record 90.20%. The average is 84.89% with 120 alternatives and 91.97% with 364 cases of turnkey. The reason why the rate of turnkey-alternative is lower than that of price procurement auction is the lack of competition as well as the systematic difference. By setting up a model, we are able to explain the difference in rate caused by the respective reason. When we suppose there are 3 bidders in case of price procurement auction for a project that exceeds 100 billion won, the rate is expected to be around 64%. This implies that difference of 26% is caused by the systemic difference and 3% by the lack of competition. Therefore, we conclude that the difference in rate between turnkey-alternative and price procurement auction is caused mainly by the systemic difference. In case of PPP(Public Private Partnership) projects, among 154 projects in total, only 40% has more than 2 bidders that compete. The average number of bidders is 1.88 which is less than 2, and the average rate of successful bids is 90%. In sum, under the price procurement auction, there is strong competition which is reflected by the rate of successful bids. However, there is room to decrease the rate by strengthening the competition under the turnkey-alternative. Also with PPP projects, we expect the rate can be steadily reduced with revived competition among bidders.

Korean engineering firms need to improve their performance in order to stay competitive in the globalize environments which has been led by some international movements including World Trade Organization (WTO) and Free Trade Agreements (FTA). There have been various activities and researches focusing on how to improve competitiveness of Korean engineering firms and the out-of-fashion Engineering Project Delivery System (EPDS) has repetitively identified as one of main barriers to deter advancements of Korean engineering industry. Therefore, this research attempted to investigate global standards of EPDS such as International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC), American Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), Brooks Act, and so on. The procedures of international EPDSs along with a few case studies were comprehensively analyzed and compared with Korean EPDS in order to propose recommendations of improving Korean EPDS. Some major differences between international and Korean EPDS were identified and they includes emphasis on qualifications of engineers and/or firms rather than their proposed cost, extensive use of long and short-list, common use of negotiation process, etc. Research findings are envisioned to guide the Korean public engineering sector to innovate Korean EPDS.

International construction market has been depressed significantly after 2000. Exclusive techniques and advanced construction management methods are desperately in demand so as to ensure the competitiveness in unlimited competition. Although public construction delivery system has been revised several times starting with introduction of the lowest bidding system in 1951, there has been no remarkable achievement whenever new system was introduced. This study analyzed the successful stories of developed countries like Europe, USA and Japan to settle successful rating system down and vitalize the best value system in Korea, which was introduced in October 2007. We constructed the bidder evaluation system for domestic situation, and designed the evaluation tool which is useful in utilization. Since this study were analyzed on only same systems of developed countries and domestic similar cases, this study is limited to typical construction in Korea. The study of specialized rating system in the field related should be followed.

The year 2008 was a hard year for Korea's construction companies. The real estate downturn resulted in halting new construction and stopping existing work, and inflation of global oil prices caused price hikes in rebar and concrete materials. As a solution to reducing the budget, the newly appointed government announced plans to increase low cost bid contracts from 10 billion to 30 billion won. When such economical and political factors negatively impact the construction market, projects based on low cost contracts are the hardest hit. Many problems already inherent in low cost bid contracts become accentuated. Consequently, this provides an opportune time to actually study and analyze the issues in these projects. This paper introduces the findings made from investigating four projects struggling to make ends meet in the year 2008. Results show that flow of cash (i.e., liquidity), or lack thereof, was the root cause which in turn was hampered by failed mechanisms for design changes, material inflation. Attributing cash flow risk to the bottom of the production structure (i.e., small business subcontractors) was also a problem within the industry. Contractors need a better way to prepare against material price fluctuations, and owners need to assist in expediting payment during times of extreme downturn.
