Western I ndonesia National Roads I mprovement Project 24 At the end of this reporting month of December 2014, all the four 4 contract packages did not achieved any significant accomplishments to catch up with the schedule and were still lagging farther behind schedule. The situation remains the same as in previous month as four 4 of the contract packages continue to follow a downward trend of delayed schedules. With time elapsed at the halfway mark 50 of the contract time for each of the four 4 contract packages, the Contractors will have hard time to deliver the Works on the target dates of completion, unless a workable and realistic action plans or Catch-up Schedules will be strictly implemented. Package No. 1 : Biha Krui At the end of this month, there was no substantial work accomplished to reduce previous month slippage of -39.91, instead the behind works further slipped behind to 44.60 as 54.84 of the contract time have elapsed. This problem have been going on for the past several month. The major work item which should have been given more concentration in order to attain a modest progress during the period would have been the drainage works 34.19 granular pavement 9.22 and asphalt pavement 40.14 which have a combine total work value of 83.55 . However, the Contractor was able to accomplished only 3.05 , progress for the three 3 major works item out of the overall month s progress of 3.46 . As agreed during the progress meeting held in Jakarta Bina Marga Office during the middle of the month, the Contractors committed to conduct a Test Case for a period of two 2 weeks from December 17-31, 2014 with targeted accomplishment of 4 . The Test Case was unsuccessful as only 3.46 progress was attained not in two 2 weeks time, but for the whole month. The overall situation of this contract package which to date, only 16.08 of progress is attained in the last 12 months of the contract time is so critical with respect to timely completion taking into consideration the short remaining contract time of only ten 10 months to complete the huge deficit of remaining works. As time is running out and with the balance of remaining works which is equivalent to 83.92 that is still to be completed by the Contractor within the remaining 45 of the contract period or 283calendar days cannot be attained unless the Contractor start a workable Action Plan this coming of January 2015. A high level management meeting between DGH and Contractors was held in Padang during the middle of the month wherein the main agenda were to resolved all issues and major problems that hampers the progress of the works. It is expected that in the coming months, the work progress will ultimately offset the previous slippage and be on time at the target date of completion. A more detailed status of this Package is presented in ANNEX P-I Executive Summary Report. Western I ndonesia National Roads I mprovement Project 25 Package No. 2 : Padang Sawah Sp. Empat Including Air Gadang Bridge As of end this month the total overall work progress is 33.73 against scheduled progress of 44.72 incurring a -10.99 slippage. In the previous report of November 2014, the progress showed signs of slight improvement with respect to delayed progress. However, during this period the delayed works abruptly fell behind from - 7.36 to -10.99, mainly due to inadequate manpower, equipment, financial resources, the delayed construction of Air Gadang Bridge which is yet to be started and the very low accomplishment in the asphalt pavement item whichto date only 5 of the 52 of the weighted percentage of the contract had been accomplished. To date, the delayed work is still on a manageable level, but it is already a bit of concern that unless the current problems are addressed immediately, the delayed works will further fall behind in the coming months. ANNEX P-2 Executive Summary Report present a more detailed status of the Contract Package. Package No. 3 : Manggopoh Padang Sawah The current slippage which further slipped down from -17.65 the previous month to -19.63 this month is of much concern due to the very limited remaining contract time left. As of end of this month, only 24.38 of actual progress has been attained in the past twelve 12 months of the contract period. The situation is so alarming with respect to timely completion of the Works considering that almost 50 of the contract time have already elapsed while 75.62 of the works are still to be completed. The main reason for the minimal progress was the delayed works on the asphalt pavement item which accounted for almost 56 of the entire contract as the Asphalt Mixing Plant is frequently out of order. To date only 5.29 of entire work item out of the 55.81 weighted percentage of the contract items is completed. In addition, number of unit of dump trucks is insufficient, low productivity of stone crusher and inadequate manpower for drainage work also contributed to the slow progress. Due to urgency to maximize the output of paving works to attain a modest progress, the Contractor shall maintain the AMP regularly and address and resolve all issues that are presently hampering the progress of the works. A more detailed status of the project progress are shown in ANNEX P-3 Executive Summary Report . Package No. 4 : Ipuh Bantal The current status of this contract package still remain in critical situation as the negative slippage of -24.66 incurred last month further slipped down to -31.53 as of end of this reporting month. The actual progress of only 9.35 since the project started a year ago is of much concern than the slippage. Simply looking at the percentage of work accomplished, it seems that the project is only
