Spanish term or phrase: sistema de administración
CONTEXTO:
Art. 21. Tanto la construcción como la conservación y reparación de las carreteras podrá llevarse á cabo por el sistema de administración ó por el de contrata, limitando la aplicación del primer método á aquellos trabajos que no puedan sujetarse fácilmente á presupuestos porque en ellos predomine la parte aleatoria, y á los casos en que así se considere conveniente por circunstancias especiales que se harán constar en los respectivos expedientes.

EXPLICACIÓN:
Se trata de una forma de llevar a cabo una trabajo empleando a terceros sin presupuestos cerrados por parte de éstos. No del sistema de gestión de una empresa.

OK, may be carried out either under the cost reimbursement scheme (assuming this is the sistema de administración) or the fixed price contract system.

Folks, this is in response to a very specific point clarified by the asker.

SORRY!!! I READ THIS QUESTION TOO QUICKLY.

COST PER PERCENTAGE SYSTEM.

The Parrot is right


Explanation:
What the Parrot is proposing is quite correct. What the excerpt referes to, is two approaches for road maintenance.

In the one, when budgets cannot be strictly observed or predicted, the (institution´s) Administration shall perform these duties and when the budgetary consideration is not present, a vendor or sub-contractor shall be responsible.

I would propose
"...may be performed using the internal administration system" as a clarifier.

cost-plus system


Explanation:
Even the person who lets out the contract, can fire the contractor and finish the job himself with his personel or others under a cost-plus system ("sistema de administración") whereby he can deduct the cost-plus from the contractor's due.
