Inflated steel costs in Taiwan over the past two years have led to
increased construction costs and lower industrial profits.
Subsequent delays in steel bridge construction projects have made it
impossible for the CEC to forecast the launching of a project, posing a high risk
to new construction efforts.
For instance, the CEC authorized a contractor to undertake a
steel bridge project, which the owner subsequently rejected. The owner
claimed that the contractor made a breach of contract and insisted on
confiscating the performance bond of the steel bridge project, compensating for
the difference in the re-bidding fee and publicizing this transgression in a
government procurement bulletin to prevent CEC from bidding on projects for a
year. The Public Construction Commission of the Executive Yuan served as a
mediator to avert pending litigation.
The lack of an effective remediation method makes it
impossible for the CEC to resolve disputes in the construction industry
efficiently.

Based on the above, we should develop an effective
remediation method for the CEC to resolve disputes in the construction
industry efficiently.
To do so, the contract contents can be carefully studied
to determine the rights and obligations of the contractor. Photographic
evidence can then be accumulated from the jobsite. Next, lawyers can
serve as representatives of both parties to resolve disputes. Finally,
disputes can be resolved via a mediation conference or litigation.
As anticipated, the proposed mediation method can enable
the project owner to return the performance bond of the steel bridge
project and receive compensation.
Moreover, the proposed method can orient CEC staff on how
to enhance contract management skills.

The greenhouse effect, accelerated industrial growth
and strong consumer growth (as exacerbated by elevated living
standards) account for insufficient power supply during the
summer.
While Taiwan relies on water, fossil fuels and nuclear
power for its power supply, no adequate water source is
available to establish a hydropower plant.
As evidence of their prohibitively high costs in
operations, operating costs for fossil fuel power plants and
nuclear power plants can run into billions of dollars such as the
No. 4 Nuclear Power Plant.
The inability to devise a more economically
feasible means of preventing power shortages during the
summer will ultimately lower living standards and industrial
revenues owing to frequent power lapses.

Based on the above, we should develop a wind power
strategy for increasing the power supply from a wind power plant that
does not cause CO2 pollution, and operates economically.
To do so, a wind power plant can be established at a
location with a strong wind current in Taiwan such as on the west coast
or in the southern part of the island. An adequate wind power source
must be available to establish a wind power plant (NOTE: Add 2-3
more sentences to describe the methodology more completely).
As anticipated, the proposed wind power strategy can
provide about 10% of all power requirements.
Importantly, via the proposed strategy, a wind power plant
can minimize the costs of fuel demand and provide a cleaner
environment.
