Oportunidades de inserção do comissionamento em obras públicas executadas pelo Regime Diferenciado de Contratação (RDC)

Abstract

With the emergence of the integrated procurement regime, public institutions no longer contract construction project and execution separately start using a procurement method in which an entity is responsible for the construction project and execution, known as Design-build (DB). We highlight that some problems with the usage of this method, such as the excess of resources to bid, limited guarantee of quality control, communication problems between the teams, among others. As an alternative to qualify the procurement of public works, specifically through the integrated procurement model, the purpose of the present work was to propose the inclusion of the commissioning process as a key part of integrated procurement, in order to increase the enterprise value for the contracting party. The research strategy used was Design Science Research (DSR) and it was organized in four stages, comprising literature review, comprehension stage through exploratory case study, development stage with the inclusion of commissioning at the work procurement by RDC, and finally assessment and proposition using preliminary model assessed by specialists, resulting in guidelines for the inclusion of commissioning in the context studied. As of the literature review, it was possible to have a basis for the definition of the research problem and formulation of hypothesis. In the exploratory stage, the modeling of the bidding process was carried out, identifying opportunities of improvement in the integrated procurement, as well as the modeling of a commissioning process pointing out which benefits it brought for the procurement. Later, an Exploratory Case Study was carried out, aiming at understanding, and characterizing the bidding process, carried out at three Federal Educational Institutions, through document analysis, interviews and focus group. Based on the analysis of the Case Study, a model of the Integrated Procurement process was elaborated, assessing the possible difficulties presented. The implementation of the commissioning process brings benefits in terms of quality assurance, efficiency, and project compliance, besides reducing risks and increasing the added value of the enterprise. It is then concluded that after the implementation of a Commissioning Process, it is possible to meet all the user requirements and improve the quality of the processes through more efficient planning, having as a result the quality of the final product.
