7 ISSUES and RECOMMENDATIONS
7.1 Current Situation
The main issue during February 2013 is the procurement of four 4 packages under AWP-1. The AERs have been discussed between the DGH and the Bank for more
than a half year. The tender could not be started until the AERs are approved by the Bank even the Bidding Documents are ready to be issued. In the meeting held on 13
February 2013 and attended by respective representative of the Bank, DGH, PMU, CTC and Balai, it was noted that the delay factor is related to the quality of the
Procurement Committee.
At the other side, 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 of the Design and Supervision Consultant DSC. It is required to expedite the DSC recruitment process. The DEDs for AWP-2 and AWP-3
packages shall be completed soon and the procurement can be started immediately.
7.2 Action Required
In order to speed up the procurement process and reduce delays, a Workshop for Bid Documents Evaluation of four packages under AWP-1 was being delivered from 28
February to 1 March 2013, in Swiss-Bell Hotel at Kemang Raya No. 7 Jakarta Selatan. The workshop was attended by 33 participants from Procurement
Committee Pokja, SatkerPPK, Balai II, Balai III, and PMU.
The project managers PPKs are suggested and required to update the DEDs of the AWP-1 packages following actual condition of the existing roads. The estimated
construction cost should be considered to not significantly increase. Otherwise, the prequalification shall be cancelled since the experience criteria for the Applicants
were set based on previous estimated construction cost.
The proposed consultants rank based on the Technical Evaluation Report has been submitted by DGH on 20 December 2012. The Bank has no objection on the report
as stated in Bank’s letter dated 21 February 2013. The opening of Financial Proposal will be conducted by the DGH’s Procurement Committee in short coming period.
