Contratação e execução de obras públicas: estudo de caso da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora no contexto da expansão ocorrida a partir de 2007

Abstract

From 2007, Brazilian federal universities have experienced a significant growth, mainly due to the implementation of two policies by the Federal Government: the Program to Suport Restructuring and Expansion Plans of Federal Universities – REUNI and the National Program for the Restructuring of Federal University Hospitals – REHUF. In the case of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora - UFJF, this scenario made viable a growth in the number of enrollments of approximately 87%. This growth was subsidized by a significant expansion of human and material resources, accompanied by a physical expansion that resulted in the hiring of 114 constructions between 2007 and 2017. In this context, the present work seeks to identify and analyze the constructions contracts signed by the UFJF in the aforementioned period, identifying factors that have negatively impacted the execution of the same. In this sense, the question arises: what factors have negatively impacted the contracting and execution of constructions by the Federal University of Juiz de Fora in the context of the expansion that occurred from 2007? In an attempt to elucidate it, the present work seeks to contextualize the expansion experienced by the UFJF, as well as the contracting and execution of public constructions by the institution; identify and analyze the elements that have negatively impacted the contractual execution; propose guidelines to be incorporated in the contracting and execution of public constructions in order to avoid recurrence of the issues raised. The present research is relevant in that it seeks to contribute to the mitigation of elements that have the potential to negatively impact new contracting and execution of public constructions by the UFJF. Of qualitative character, the present study used the case study methodology to construct an analysis strategy that confronts the perception of the subjects involved in the process, the data collected through documentary research and the theoretical, legal and normative apparatus. In the context of contracting occurred in the researched time frame, negative impacts were identified in all phases involved in the viabilization of a public constructions proposed by Motta (2005), which are: Strategic Conceptual Phase, Financial Viability, Executive Planning and Materialization Phase. With this, the third chapter presents some actions and strategies that can be implemented by the UFJF in order to avoid the recurrence of the issues discussed here.
