Assessment Performance of Public Disbursement in Civil Maintenance Railway Projects (A Post Audit–Covid Pandemic)

This paper examined the impact of COVID-19 using a quantitative approach on disbursement of maintenance railway projects. Information was gathered by deploying questionnaire survey to practitioners who were involved in railway maintenance projects. Primary factors affecting disbursement procedure were identified from 70 major railway maintenance projects (Civil, Mechanical and Electrical works). Thirty-two (32) factors affecting the disbursement procedure were then distributed in the form of questionnaire. A total of 115 responses were sent back ranking the severity of affective factors to disbursement procedure. Findings revealed in submission stage that contractor failure to follow the procedures submitting invoices, contractor submission of claims with errors, and government prevention policies were the main factors which affected the performance of submission, while quarantine period and adverse weather factors were the main factors which affected the performance of inspection stage. Financial crisis and shortage of staff were main factors which affected the payment execution period. All mentioned factors affecting disbursement procedure were caused by contractors and engineers and owner staffs. It appeared factors affecting performance of disbursement procedure normally occurred in construction projects.
