In 2013, the Fujian Provincial Price Bureau and the Department of Housing and Construction issued the Notice on the Regulation of Construction Project Supervision Charges in the Province, and since then, the price of construction project supervision services has been gradually liberalized. From the implementation of government-guided prices to the implementation of market-adjusted prices, the construction supervision industry continues to improve the price mechanism; and at the same time in the supervision fees embraced the market, collusion bidding offers and other price violations, low bidding and bidding and other improper price behavior also quietly grow.
This year, Fujian Provincial Engineering Supervision and Project Management Association (hereinafter referred to as the "Association") issued by the non-involvement in the project bidding initiative, all for the supervision of low fees, configuration requirements of the asymmetric phenomenon of high, in order to maintain the quality and price in line with the quality and price supervision bidding order.
1, cabbage price! Supervision fee as low as two or three fold
From the Association's latest release of the "on not participating in the" Zhouning County Stainless Steel Deep Processing Industrial Park ancillary supporting projects a (supervision) "project bidding initiative" to see the project's construction and installation cost of 113.7 million yuan, the construction phase of the supervision service period of 180 days, while the supervision Service fee of only 550,000 yuan, not up to "on the construction project supervision industry in Fujian Province, service charge guidance" standard 2.3% discount.
Such a low price is really difficult to ensure the quality of supervision services: supervision enterprises can only lower the level of work and service standards, supervision personnel can not fully use the quality, progress, cost control management tools, difficult to fulfill the duty to improve the quality of the project and the level of construction, supervision work can not help but be reduced to a form or set up, and even to the future of the project quality supervision to bury a major safety hazards.
Such a low price will also seriously disrupt the supervision of the price market: when an enterprise to reduce the bid price and won the bid, there are often similar enterprises to launch a similar degree and even more coping strategies, leading to a wider range of repeated games, resulting in the price of the product away from the normal track, disrupting the supervision of the market price order, when the price mechanism will be difficult to play an active competition, allocation of resources, market regulation. The market regulating role.
In the long run, the supervisory staff because of the meager income, breaks, the loss of serious; supervision of enterprises due to the loss of profits, unable to update technology and equipment, the introduction of high-quality personnel, more unable to invest in manpower and material resources to engage in research and development, and promote innovation, the development of insufficient energy; supervision of the market due to the failure of the price mechanism will also make the competition mechanism is ineffective.
2, engineering supervision, why frequently play the "special price" card?
In fact, since the abolition of the government's guide price, most of the bidders for cost considerations, increasingly inclined to low bidding way to select the supervision unit. Bidding agencies also cater to the idea of bidders, the development of supervision service fee is very low bidding documents. The association's initiative in the Fujian supervision companies do not participate in the bidding, is aimed at these low fee bidding documents.
And project supervision low bidding phenomenon, in addition to the construction units and agents do not implement the supervision fee standards, arbitrarily low supervision costs, but also the industry's own reasons exist.
Previously, due to the supervision of business registration, business threshold is low and relatively lucrative reasons, supervision of the scale of the enterprise once rapid development. Construction supervision statistical bulletin shows that today the vast majority of provinces have hundreds or even hundreds of supervision enterprises. The face of government investment projects to reduce the decline in real estate, "more porridge," the market, supervision enterprises in order to compete for market share, at the expense of profit margins and bottomless price pressures, ultimately leading to the emergence of low-priced bidding for the phenomenon of vicious competition.
In addition, the first low bid to take the project, after not according to the prescribed standards and contract requirements for supervision personnel, equipment and facilities of the irregular phenomenon has also occurred repeatedly. This, in turn, drilled the competent authorities in the supervisory personnel in place, supervision work performance and other aspects of the depth of supervision and inspection is insufficient, but also further exacerbated the supervision of poor results, the vicious circle of service is not in place.
3, low bidding, it should be changed
Previously by the Association voiced, Sanming City, Yongan General Hospital construction project project supervision fees from 2.72 million yuan up to 6,144,800 yuan, but is still lower than the relevant fee standards corresponding to 9.8 million yuan. Public opinion has forced a rise in project supervision fees, nor is it a long-term solution.
First of all, the competent authorities should strengthen the external constraints to maintain the basic profits of the supervision enterprises. Such as Suzhou City, since March 1, the implementation of the "on strengthening the construction site quality and safety supervision of supervision of a number of opinions" requires the construction unit will supervise the basic information of the contract entered into the real name management system, and supervision fees are not less than the price of the industry market information released by the construction cost information of the city of Suzhou.
Secondly, the industry association should do a good job of self-discipline supervision, actively reflect to the relevant departments supervision fees are too low project, and prompt the supervision enterprise from ensure that according to the law to perform the quality, safety, supervision duties of the human, financial, material and other resource inputs, the actual cost of the work of the project, do not respond to bids below the cost of the bidding, and do not participate in the bidding at less than the cost of the offer.
Most importantly, the supervision enterprise should adjust the mode of operation, take the initiative to reverse the development difficulties. On the one hand, supervisory enterprises should overcome the current operational challenges by strengthening internal control management, optimizing market reputation, adjusting talent structure and expanding service content; on the other hand, supervisory enterprises should improve the quality of supervisory personnel, optimize the supervisory work mechanism, and cultivate the comprehensive work strength, so as to seek longer-term development. As the association called for in the initiative, by keeping the bottom line of the industry and insisting on the provision of standardized, high-quality supervision and related services, supervision enterprises can usher in long-term development.
In addition, the regulator can also introduce a third party to strengthen the performance supervision of project supervision, such as exploring the establishment of a project supervision performance bond and claims system, and promoting the construction supervision performance guarantee insurance to ensure that construction project supervisors fulfill their supervision obligations.
The abolition of government-guided pricing is, in the final analysis, to release the supervision market vitality, not to lower the bottom line of supervision fees. Therefore, in the market to play a decisive role in resource allocation at the same time, should also be "tangible hand" to assist the "invisible hand" to combat "starving peers, tired of their own, pitfalls dead owners "Low-price competition to maintain the supervision of the market competition in an orderly manner.
