Monthly Progress Report October 2014
Western I ndonesia National Roads I mprovement Project 24
Package No. 4 : Ipuh Bantal
The current status of this contract package is similar with that of Package No. 1 wherein the negative slippage of
-16.35 incurred last month further slipped down to
-18.88 as of end of this
reporting month. The actual progress of only
5.35 since the project started ten 10 months ago is of much concern
than the slippage. Simply looking at the percentage of work accomplished, it seems that the project is not moving forward.
As mentioned in the previous Monthly Report in September 2014, Show Cause meeting was held in Bengkulu with main agenda to address all current problems and issues that are hampering the
progress of the works.
A Test Case of 30 days period was agreed in the meeting to target minimum 8.75
work progress which was executed by the Contractor, However, the Test Case resulted with no success as only
1.62 of progress was attained.
As only 60
of the contract time is remaining with 94.65
of the Works still to be completed, a Show Cause Meeting shall be scheduled immediately preferably a high level meeting to be held in
DGH Central Office and to be attended by higher level managements of DGH, Contractor and other concerned authorities.
Shown in ANNEX P-4 Executive Summary Report are the current problem and actions to be taken to attain substantial progress in order to catch-up with the schedule.
For contract packages under AWP-2 and AWP-3 which have a combined total of 17 Packages, a brief
summary of the actual activities and status as of this reporting period are presented in Table 1.1, page 7 of this Report.

4.6.1 Current Overall Situation
A project category is assigned to each package as either Category A, B or C depending on the likely degree of influence on environmental issues with a brief explanation as follows:
Category A project is one which will have a significant negative impact on the environment and may have an influence on areas outside the actual project area. A project classified as such requires an
AMDAL ANDAL, RKLRPL study. Category B project is one which affects the people or the environment to some extent but with a
smaller impact than a Category A. The required environmental analysis is a UKLUPL study only. Category C project has minimal effect on the people or environment and an environmental analysis
is not required. SPPL are used to handle any minor problem which may arise. All the twenty one 21 packages require environmental impact investigations. There are a total of
