The comprehensive examination on tendering system has been introduced to the Cultural Heritage repair and restoration field since 2016 to remedy the repair issues of South Gate in 2014. The Cultural Heritage Administration tried to attain the high performance of the cultural heritage repair and restoration works securing the proper payment for the repair and restoration works. It is high time to review the operating performance of the comprehensive examination on tendering system (hereinafter referred to as the "CEOTS"), as the system has been run for over 5 years to correspond with its original goal, i.e., "The Proper Payment in return for the High Performance of Repair and Restoration works." This study intends to analyze 114 tenders of CEOTS from 2016 to 2020. As a result of the analysis of 114 tenders, firstly, more than half of bid winners were in the top 20% of repair & restoration capacity disclosure amount list, which mostly fulfilled the goal of 'attaining high performance.' Secondly, as the winning bid rate is decreasing from 86.847% in 2017 to 85.488% in 2020, the goal of 'guarantee of a proper payment' is not achieved yet. Thirdly, the influence of Economic Evaluation section in CEOTS has been grown since the change of scoring system in CEOTS in 2019. This study identifies two reasons why the winning bid rate of CEOTS has decreased. Firstly, it is caused by the fact that 'the group that got more than 1st place' and 'the first place group' that are more than half of the total bidders have the decreasing bidding rate trend as the years go by. Secondly, the exclusion rate of 'the group that got more than 1st place' is higher than the exclusion rate of 'the group that got less than 1st place', which means the expected winning rate would be lowered. It is proposed that the revision of CEOTS code is needed, i.e. easing the strict rule concerning the exclusion rate as well as setting up the lower bidding limit to prevent the excessive decreasing winning bid rate.

The government introduced the technical proposal drafting system in September 2007, as a new method to stimulate technical competence among construction companies to require ingenuity, creativity, artistic sense, and high-level technology. However, an examination of instances has shown that this system has been applied only to large scale constructions worth 30 billion won or more, and not to small and medium constructions worth less than 30 billion won. This is because the evaluation criteria of the system is structured in a manner that makes it difficult to apply to small and medium constructions. This study presented methods to improve the evaluation factors, categories, and scoring scheme of the technical proposal creation system for medium to small scale constructions to be able to further apply the current system to small and medium constructions. The technical proposal evaluation criteria presented in this study was significant in that it enabled the technical proposal creation system that was mainly used for large scale constructions to be further applied to medium to small scale constructions. And it also contributes to the establishment and settlement of a new technical proposal tendering for medium to small scale constructions.

Construction accident rates are reflected in the pre-qualification of public construction projects in order to prevent accidents and facilitate the safety management of construction companies. However, the construction industry is still experiencing an increase in accident rates. Hence, there is a need to strengthen existing safety evaluation systems and requirements in public construction tendering. The objective of this study was to acquire and provide basic data for benchmarking to select tenderers in domestic public construction projects. In Singapore and Japan, safety evaluation systems and requirements are applied based on various aspects in order to screen tenderers. These evaluation systems include safety regulations and institutional requirements, as well as safety performance and safety management plans of respective construction projects. This study recommends that korean public construction projects also apply similar safety evaluation systems which include comprehensive safety criteria in order to decrease accident rates in the industry.

In order to evaluate the possibility as cooking alcohol (Mirim) and tendering materials, kiwi wine and kiwi liqueur were added into braising mackerel and beef. The result showed that the crude proteolytic enzyme activity was high in kiwi wine and liqueur at 91.02 and 87.56% respectively. The trimethylamine (TMA) content in braising mackerel was 6.60, 4.80 and 5.79 mg% in control group, kiwi wine group and kiwi liqueur group, respectively. Sensory test of boiled mackerel gained high score in kiwi wine and kiwi liqueur stoups compared with control group The tendering effect in beef was high in kiwi wine and kiwi liqueur groups compared with control group. Thus, kiwi wine and kiwi liqueur could be used as cooking alcohol.

As buildings take on more advanced features, mechanical facilities of buildings are accounting for increasingly greater significance in building construction projects. However, mechanical facility designers are forced to be content with design service fees that do not properly compensate their excessive workload, with lowest-bid-first tendering practices compounding their economic woes. In relation to this, this Study aims to offer suggestions for better standards for compensation of design service for mechanical facilities of buildings, highlighting five key suggestions in consideration of relatively small size of work and unmatched long duration of work.

This research introduces the development of a project-level cash flow forecasting model in construction stage based on the planned earned value and the cost from a general contractors view on a jobsite. Most previous models have been developed to assist contractors in their pre-tendering or planning stage cash flow forecasts. The critical key to cash flow forecasting at the project level is how to build a cash-out model. The basic concept is to use moving weights of cost categories in a budget over project duration. The cost categories are classified to compile resources with almost the same time lags that are based on contracting payment conditions and credit times given by suppliers or venders. For cash-in, net planned monthly-earned values are simply transferred to the cash-in forecast, to be applied there with billing time and retention money. Validation of the model involves applying data from on-going 4 projects in progress for 12 months. Based on the results of the comparative analyses through the simulation of the proposed model and the existing models, the proposed model is more accurate, flexible and simpler than traditional models to the employee of construction jobsite who is not oriented financial knowledge.

Total forest growing stock and growing stock per ha in Korea are $470\times10^6m^3\;and\;73m^3$, respectively. Those figures mean that forest growing stock was increased 4.7 times more during last 30 years. The annual production of forest biomass comes from forest tending executed by Korea Forest Service was estimated about $1.07\times10^6m^3$ M/T, which was equivalent to $0.45\%$ of total imported crude oil of Korea at 2002. The production is expected to increase and reach up to $1.9\times10^6 M/T$ till 2008. The analysis of economic feasibility showed that the production cost of wood chip(134,786Won/T) was about 30,389 Won/T higher than heat value of wood chip, 104,397 Won/T estimated from that of kerosene. For the promotion of forest bioenergy utilization, more efforts need to be given for the education and public relations to induce publicity a willingness-to-pay for the environment friendly fuels under the good understanding for the use of bioenergy. In addition, we need to provide a community-based biomass utilization program by region to allocate the role of each participant and to increase the profitability of bioenergy.

This paper presents a study conducted with the aim of developing a model of tendering based on a technique of artificial intelligence by managing and controlling the factors of success or failure of construction projects through the evaluation of the process of invitation to tender. Aiming to solve this problem, analysis of the current environment based on SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) is first carried out. Analysis was evaluated through a case study of the construction projects in Algeria, to bring about the internal and external factors which affect the process of invitation to tender related to the construction projects. This paper aims to develop a mean to identify threats-opportunities and strength-weaknesses related to the environment of various national construction projects, leading to the decision on whether to continue the project or not. Following a SWOT analysis, novel artificial intelligence models in forecasting the project status are proposed. The basic principal consists in interconnecting the different factors to model this phenomenon. An artificial neural network model is first proposed, followed by a model based on fuzzy logic. A third model resulting from the combination of the two previous ones is developed as a hybrid model. A simulation study is carried out to assess performance of the three models showing that the hybrid model is better suited in forecasting the construction project status than RNN (recurrent neural network) and FL (fuzzy logic) models.
