1. BACKGROUND OF WINRIP PLANNING PROCESS

1.1. Background

Originally, it was envisioned that WINRIP would cover Western Indonesia, including the Islands of Java and Sumatra. However, at a very early stage in the Project’s development, it was decided that the Project should only cover Sumatra, excluding the province of Aceh. Subject to confirmation, the basic reason was that Java, and Aceh, were both covered by many other projects. The original WINRIP was funded by the World Bank, and implementation will use a World Bank Loan. WINRIP 2 is funded by Grant TF 094760-ID, from the Indonesia Infrastructure Trust Fund.

1.2. WINRIP 1

The original WINRIP covered Pre-feasibility, Feasibility and the Detailed Engineering Design DED of a selected number of Sub-projects. The Pre-feasibility Studies covered some 3,800 km. of National Roads, throughout Sumatra, excluding Aceh. The study was, nominally, a desk-top study, and relied heavily on IRMS and BMS data. Using criteria such as status, function, AADT, width, vc ratios, IRI, EIRR, NPV, Cost and current proposals, the long list of Sub-projects was then reduced to some 2,500 km. of National Roads, from which a 3-year National Roads improvement program could be developed. The Feasibility Studies covered all of the normal topics, and included topographic, traffic, road and bridge condition, economic development, environment and social impact surveys. The basic aim of the studies being to identify Sub-projects that was necessary and technically, economically, environmentally and socially feasible. Criteria used to prioritize Sub-projects included impact, likely economic viability, road pavement roughness, traffic volumes, pavement width deficiency, development impact and readiness for the implementation of the works. The output from the Feasibility Studies was a number of Alternative Scenarios for the improvement of National Roads in Sumatra, excluding Aceh. The proposals varied from those concentrating on the East Coast, Central and West Coast Corridors, and Feeder Links to those Corridors. Detailed Engineering Designs DED was completed for many of the identified links. Ultimately, the DGH decided that preference should be given to the West Coast Corridor; one of the reasons being the relatively recent earthquakes in West Sumatra. Based on this decision, and the knowledge that the proposed World Bank Loan was for some US 300 million, a three-year program WP 1, WP 2 and WP 3 for the improvement of National Roads in Sumatra, excluding Aceh was developed. Annex ‘A’ to this Paper includes the selected Sub-projects.

1.3. WINRIP 2

The agreed final list of Sub-projects includes for Subprojects in the provinces of Lampung, Bengkulu, West Sumatra and North Sumatra. In total, the length of the Sub-projects covers some 712 km. Some of the currently proposed Sub-projects were covered partially in WINRIP 1 but most of them had only been designed by the Provincial P2JN, to standards appropriate for APBN funding. Hence, the basic need of WINRIP 2 was to complete the Detailed Engineering Design DED of the Sub-projects included in AWP 1, so that they could be ready for implementation in 2011, when it is expected the World Bank Loan will become available. As ESS 4 requested, these roads have been designed to Eastern Indonesia National Roads Improvement Program EINRIP standards. The WP 1 Sub-projects include: 1 Lampung Link No. 053.0, Krui - Biha 25.0 km; 2 West Sumatra Link No. 047.2, Padang Sawah - Simpang Empat, including Air Gadang Bridge 40.9 km.; 3 West Sumatra Link 047.1, Manggopoh - Padang Sawah 32.0 km; 4 Lampung Link No. 061.1, Sp. Gunung Kemala - Pg. Tampak, including Way Taau Bridge 36.8 km.; and 5 Bengkulu Link No. 015.1, Ipuh - Bantal 39.2 km.. In addition to preparation of the DED proposals, the WINRIP PPC Consultants have completed other tasks, including: • Revised Economic Evaluations of the WP 1 Sub-projects, based on the new quantities and cost estimates; and for WP 2 and WP 3 Subprojects, based on updated cost estimates; • Enhanced Environmental, Land Acquisition and Vehicle Accident Mitigation Studies for the WP 1 Subprojects; • Preparation of TORs for a number of topics, including the Core Team Consultants CTC and the Design and Supervision Consultants DSC; and • Preparation Updating of the Project Management Manual PMM and the Project Implementation Manual PIP. Details of the specific environmental and land acquisition screening carried out during WINRIP 1 and WINRIP 2 are included in Annex 6.
