downward trend from -2,00
the previous month. As previously mentioned in the last Monthly Progress Report, the delayed works remain to be still manageable as of this end of the month.
Work activities shall be closely supervised and monitored in order that the delayed works could be reduced or attain an ahead of schedule progress in the coming month.
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
-9,07 incurred last month further slipped down to
-11,98 as of end of this
reporting month. To address the downward trend of delayed works, the head of BBPJN III Palembang called up a
meeting last July 17, 2014.
The Contractors were claiming that the delays were mainly caused by the insufficient width of Right of Ways to accommodate the designed roadway cross sections, that works could not be executed
due to the ROW constraints.
CTC s opinion on this matter is that the Contractors claim is not valid reason as this ROW problem should have been anticipated by the Contractors in the conduct of Field Engineering during the early
days of the contract period and solutions should have been rendered at that time.
In general, the Contractors of the four 4 on-going construction packages are not performing well in the execution of the works. Unless a realistic Catch-up Schedule will be strictly enforced and
implemented, the Contractors of the four 4 on-going sub-projects could not deliver the Packages on the target dates of completion.
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 Environmental and Social Considerations
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
fourty one 41 studies required, twenty 20 for environmental impact investigations and twenty one 21 for social studies.
The twenty 20 environmental studies need the approval of the Environmental Agency BLH with five 5 of the studies AMDALEIA to be approved by World Bank WB.
While the twenty one 21 social studies SLARAP and LARAP require the approval of World Bank prior to implementation.
As of end of this reporting period July 2014, nineteen 19 environmental impact studies has been approved by BLH, while three 3 of the five 5 studies that requires World Bank approval, Bank
already issued No Objection Letter NOL. The remaining one 1 environmental impact studies UKL- UPL for Packages No. 4 Ipuh-Bantal is currently under preparation.
For the social studies , twelve 12 of the twenty one 21 studies were already given No Objection Letter from the World Bank WB.
Details of sub-projects that require environmental and social safeguards and progress are shown in
Appendix E.
Presented below in a tabulated format is the current status of the environmental and social studies.
