Conceptual Framework Design to Select Optimal Project Delivery System and Contract Strategy

Abstract

One of the most critical factors in the implementation of wastewater projects is the development of a plan for the implementation of the project as well as the optimal project delivery method and contract strategy that suits it, which may affect the success of the project. This research aims to explore the joint planning between the project delivery system and contract strategy, with the aim of providing a conceptual framework for designing an appropriate project delivery method and contract strategy. The researcher identified seven basic delivery methods based on a review of previous studies and a questionnaire that were conducted with a group of experts working in sewage projects in Wasit Governorate / Iraq. This research designs PDCS through the analytical hierarchical process This technique has been used for several reasons, including the ease of application and its ability to identify any quality problem, as well as allowing diversity between viewpoints and its ability to bring different opinions together. It can also be applied with many applications such as linear programming and targeted programming, where the main and sub-factors that affect the choice of PDCS are studied. The design process is divided into two stages, the preliminarily design and the detailed design.
