GREAT PUBLIC CONSTRUCTIONS IN BRAZIL: SITUATION AND IMPLICATIONS IN BRAZILIAN GOVERNANCE/GRANDES OBRAS PUBLICAS NO BRASIL: SITUACAO E IMPLICACOES NA GOVERNANCA BRASILEIRA

The great public constructions have a strategic position of prominence in the Brazilian development perspective. However, the irregularities are constant, which causes enormous socioeconomic disturbances for the country and bankruptcy in the adequate provision of public services to the population. The aim was to reflect on the irregularities in great public constructions in Brazil, comparing the normative bidding regimes, to understand the reasons why this situation is recurrent and to set guidelines to minimize the problems. For this, a literature review was adopted, consisting of legislation, books, documents, articles and news. On average, 65% of the federal public constructions inspected presented serious irregularities and only 8% did not present problems in Brazil. The areas where irregularities most occur are in the bidding process, followed by the basic or executive project. These phases are prior to the construction execution, so they reveal problems of the public manager in bidding planning. Other areas that deserved negative attention were overprice/overbilling and construction execution, which indicate problems with the contractor. There was no difference between the Differentiated Public Procurement Regime (RDC) and the regime established by Law 8,666/93 to reduce irregularities of any kind in great public construction in Brazil, between 2014 and 2016.
