| dc.description.abstract | The study dealt with the role of contract administration on the project performance at Oromia Regional State, specifically at Oromia Water, Mineral and Energy Bureau. The objectives of the research were to assess the contract administration planning practices and its role on managing the contracts, to assess the contribution of timely monitoring of contract implementation for the performance/success of projects and to assess the inspection practice and its contribution to get the intended project deliverables. Different literatures were assessed to show that contract administration plays a great role on the project performance and it acknowledged the contract administration role on project performance. A descriptive design was employed where both qualitative and quantitative methods were used in the study. Non-probability sampling technique was used and the targeted sample size of 35 respondents were drawn out of the 42 total population of the contract administration and construction supervision department and other participants from other functional departments. The data was collected by means of questionnaires and semi-structured interviews and analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques and SPSS package version 25 was used to process the data analysis. The research findings indicate that most of the water construction projects of OWMEB are not completed in conformity to their original plan, i.e. they usually sustain delay, termination, cost overrun or quality problems, which were emanated from poor contract administration specifically lack of contract administration plan, poor monitoring of the contract implementation, and lack and/or poor inspection of deliverables. This report recommends OWMEB to oversight the contracts critically to keep the projects on track and monitor the results constantly and to recruit more experienced and qualified staff with sufficient quantity for its contract management function. | en_US |
