6.9.3 Risks Related to Quality
The quality of work is inherently tied to the competence of the Contractors and the diligence of the Supervision Teams. The competence or otherwise of contractors
shall be considered at the time of bid evaluation and prior to the award of any contract.
The quality of supervision however is influenced by the following factors: •
Ensuring that supervision staff levels are fully manned with competent, honest, qualified and experienced personnel.
• The provision of properly equipped laboratories with properly trained
operators for each package. Package supervision comes under the responsibilities of the immediate supervision
teams and the relevant DSC but the Quality Assurance Engineer from CTC, when mobilized, will periodically monitor their performance.
Until now, the performances have not been reported by the Quality Assurance Engineer from CTC, because the works activity has not started
.

7 ISSUES and RECOMMENDATIONS
7.1 Current Situation
The main issue during September 2013 is the NOL Bank for BER of 4 Packages had been approved. The Ministry of Public Work through BAPEKON still review the BER for
approval. The issues was there is one bidder proposed to award contract in 3 packages.
The existing road conditions of the four packages under AWP-1, which are predicted being deteriorated rapidly by the traffic during almost a year, shall be anticipated.
Another issue is establishment and mobilization of the Design and Supervision Consultant DSC especially the Design Team. The DEDs for AWP-2 and AWP-3
packages, including the 7 packages under CTC review at the current time, shall be completed soonest and the procurement can be started immediately.
7.2 Action Required
Based on the past experience when the Pokja need long time to prepared the AER, for this bidding stage hopefully the POKJA could be finalized the Bidding Evaluation Report
BER in sufficient time as scheduled with full support from CTC WINRIP.
It is required to immediately mobilize the Design Team of DSC contract signing process following up the contract signing on June 11, 2013.
