| dc.description.abstract | This research assessed the Contract Management Practice in Federal Road Construction Projects which intern attempts to maximize the return on investment through meeting the project’s objectives. The study took a form of descriptive design. The data were collected qualitatively using questionnaires surveys and desktop studies. Accordingly, questionnaires were distributed to the three key groups of participants in road construction projects; namely the Employer, Consultants, and Contractors, who are participating on road construction projects where their project progress is above 70%. The findings show that the Contract Management practice is not found to be efficient as a result projects are not completed on time, within the budgeted cost, and with desired quality. Among others, poor communication and poorly drafted contracts are found to be the major problems in project contract administration contracts. It is recommended that improving contract administration with complying project’s requirements and properly drafting the contract will have great impact on the progress of projects. The study will help the government, implementing agencies, professionals, and other interest groups to concentrate on the areas of weakness in managing contracts in the road projects to enhance the implementation of the project and the realization of the project objectives. | en_US |
