| dc.description.abstract | The construction plans for public social housing are initiated and formulated by the central and local government agencies (owners). After the plans are evaluated based on their benefits and public welfare as new construction principles, architects are commissioned to conduct joint survey and design plannings based on owners’ needs. Once the plan is approved, the project budget for the current year is allocated, and a tender budget is formulated for bidding and execution.
Article 70-1 of the Government Procurement Act was passed by the Legislative Yuan on April 30, 2019, and has been implemented by the Public Construction Commission (PCC), Executive Yuan to date. During detailed design phase, various relevant agencies follow the announcements of the PCC and execute planning and design based on the “Public Construction Project Budgeting Manual - Building Engineering Section”, “Budget Reference Sheet for Public Safety and Health Projects”, and “Guidelines for Strengthening Occupational Safety and Health Management in Public Construction Projects”. However, there are still issues in the domestic public construction projects regarding the occupational safety and health cost allocation, including missing items and challenges in fully quantifying the allocation.
Therefore, starting from the perspective of building construction, this study collects bid documents of the construction projects of public social housing in the northern and central Taiwan. By analyzing the actual bid compilation content of these projects, the study aims to consolidate practical cost items for occupational safety and health from the collected cases and establishes an “Occupational Safety and Health Cost Item Checklist”. This checklist encompasses ten categories of common occupational safety and health items in detailed design for building construction projects, serving as a reference for compilation, reducing the possibility of omission, and facilitating onwers and designers’ acknowledgement of these items. This study can also benefit construction companies, guiding them from understanding occupational safety and health cost items to planning and compiling for bidding. Overall, the outcomes of this research are expected to provide valuable knowledge and practical insights for subsequent public and private project safety and health costs compilation and related execution. | en_US |
