Association Between Delay, Project Size and Low Bid Percentage

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the effects some prominent factors like low bid amount, contract size and geographical locations projects on causing delayed completion in road bridge carried out by Road Division Offices under Department Roads (DoR) Nepal. Design/Methodology/Approach: Fifteen construction contracts from each seven provinces country were selected for study. completed three Nepali fiscal years starting 2074/75 till 2076/77 irrespective their date. grouped various categories stipulated project duration, percentage amount below estimate including mountains, hills terai. Projects mountain districts Sankhuwasabha Baitadi; Kathmandu, Kaski Surkhet Siraha Rupandehi terai selected. research approach included both qualitative quantitative methods information collection. Secondary data sources comprised DOR office documents work reports, IPCs, time extension documents, variation orders other pertinent records. SPSS software has been used processing input thus relationships between different variables such as delay, contract; percent initial location etc. have checked. Correlation regression analysis delay (dependent variable), independent contract, geography. Findings/Result: Spearman rank correlation value category 0.210 with p 0.031 (< 0.05) suggesting weak but significant relationship these two variables. Further, Pearson 0.243 0.013 too. Binary logistic showed Nagelkerke R square 0.139 which provides an indication that dependent variable (project delay) is only around 14% variance due (size geography). This suggests remaining 86% caused not considered scope Also, less than 0.05 suggested there statistically relation Originality/Value: paper assesses association timely performance projects.
