COMPLETING UNFINISHED WORKS IN ITALY: PROCEDURES, FINDINGS, SYNERGIES
Abstract
According to Italian Legislative Decree no. 201/2011, the unfinished works are public works whose construction had been started but had not been completed or even if completed, it is not usable by the community. Unfortunately the national tradition has shown too often the creation of works partially unused and often obsolescent. From March 2013 the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport started the national census-register of unfinished public works. At the end of 2015, were listed more than 800 works, needing about 1.5 billion euro for completion. To facilitate their completion, the legislator has decided to include them in the contraction authorities three-year programme [...] for the purpose of their completion or for the identification of alternative solutions such as reuse, even resized, supply as remuneration for the construction of another public work, the sale or the demolition. We are confident their completion actually seems very difficult and a new standardization is not enough to ensure good outcome. We investigated possible solutions to reuse the constructed (or partial constructed) public works, some findings about the procedures to their completion, the possible downsizing, the need to consider the technical and management aspects if its needed a change of use of the work. In case of Piedmont public works, we also estimate the more likely asset value, assuming that works may are unfinished from time but the contracting authorities could use them as remuneration or the estimated demolition costs. What of the public-private partnership? What about low cost intervention to partial complete the works? Theyre both issues that we have to deal with the regional situation, but in general, they may be extended to the national situation.
