Abstract

The construction industry is one of the most complex industries worldwide. In Ethiopia also the difficulties and complex industry, it related to low tenders to win project work. These problems continue to lead to a lesser quality of construction facilities, a high rate of claims and litigation, and frequent cost and schedule overruns have become the key indicators of Ethiopian public construction work contracts. This research was taken on to assess the performance of public-owned construction projects awarded on a least bidder bid awarding system and its impacts on quality in the case of Assosa City. 20 pieces of paper were distributed as a questionnaire survey and 12 were collected from among the different stakeholders of Assosa city project members in Assosa city such as clients, contractors, and the construction department of the public construction works city. The collected questionnaires were analyzed by using MS Excel version 19. The results found that currency exchange variation/oscillation, variability in the economy of the nation, and material price/accessibility/source/quality /imports are 0.92, 0.88, and 0.78, (RII) with 1st, 2nd and 3rd ranked respectively. It was resolved that more than 80% of the construction projects overrun the budget and end up with a higher cost, and its results accomplish that due to one of the top impact factors of the least bid procurement system. It suggests that further needs to investigate how the Federal procurement administration system embraces features of other alternative bidding methods for evaluation and award.
