Can PPP Contracts Improve the Performance of the National Road Sector? | 27 - 52 Josep Bely Utarja | Can PPP Contracts Improve the Performance of the National Road Sector? | 27 - 52 ISSN: 2599-1086 | e-ISSN: 2656-1778 | Vol. 2 | No. 1 Can PPP Contracts Improve the Performance of the National Road Sector? Josep Bely Utarja Universitas Prasetiya Mulya, Jakarta Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT This article aims to provide answer to two questions related to the use of whether Public-Private Partnership (PPP)- typed contract for national road preservation projects. The first question is whether this type of contract can be easily adopted by this sector. The second is how value for money can be achieved by using this type of contract. To answer those questions, firstly, the article begin with highlights of the institutional environment of national road preservation project contracts. After that, types of contracts that have been used in this sector are discussed. PPP-typed contract is then compared with those contracts based on its characteristics and its potential to achieve value for money. Quantitative value for money assessment using Public Service Comparator (PSC) is then discussed to provide additional basis to identify when the PPP-typed contract gives value for money. The last section provides conclusion on how PPP-typed contract can increase the value for money of a national road preservation project. This article argues that in order to be able to implement PPP-type contract, both the public and the private sector should focus on service level agreement from the project rather than inputs for the project. Value for Money can be achieved using the contract if risks transferred from the Government to business / private entity is significant enough so that the combination of both incentives and the entity’s capability can reduce the total cost of risks more than to compensate the difference between the entity’s cost of capital and the Government cost of capital. In this case, the scale of the project is also important, given the complexity of PPP contract resulted in relatively higher transaction costs compare to other types of contracts. Keywords: PPP, performance-based contract, Value for Money, risk allocation, public service comparator SARI PATI Artikel ini bermaksud memberikan jawaban atas dua pertanyaan terkait penggunaan jenis kontrak Kerjasama Pemerintah dan Swasta (PPP) untuk proyek pemeliharaan jalan nasional. Pertanyaan pertama adalah apakah jenis kontrak ini dapat dengan mudah diadopsi oleh sektor ini. Yang kedua adalah bagaimana optimalisasi pemanfaatan anggaran pemerintah (value for money) dapat dicapai melalui penggunaan jenis kontrak ini. Untuk menjawab pertanyaan-pertanyaan itu, pertama, artikel mengulas lingkungan kelembagaan dari suatu kontrak proyek pemeliharaan jalan nasional. Setelah itu, dibahas jenis-jenis kontrak yang telah digunakan di sektor ini. Jenis kontrak PPP kemudian dibandingkan dengan jenis-jenis kontrak-kontrak yang telah ada di sektor ini berdasarkan karakteristik dan potensinya untuk mencapai value for money. Asesmen value for money kuantitatif menggunakan Pembanding Sektor Publik (PSC) kemudian dibahas, untuk memberikan basis tambahan mengenai bagaimana jenis kontrak PPP berpeluang memberikan value for money. Di bagian terakhir disimpulkan tentang bagaimana kontrak PPP dapat meningkatkan value for money pada proyek pemeliharaan jalan nasional. Artikel ini berpendapat bahwa untuk bisa mengimplementasikan jenis kontrak PPP, sektor publik dan swasta harus dapat bersama-sama lebih fokus pada standar tingkat layanan yang harus disediakan oleh proyek, dibandingkan pada input yang harus dimiliki oleh proyek. Value for money dapat dicapai melalui jenis kontrak PPP apabila risiko-risiko yang dialihkan dari pemerintah kepada swasta cukup signifikan, sehingga kombinasi insentif dan kemampuan swasta dalam mengurangi total biaya risiko, dapat 27 Journal of Infrastructure Policy and Management | Vol. 2 No. 01 (2019) lebih mengkompensasi besar selisih antara biaya modal swasta dengan biaya modal pemerintah. Dalam hal ini, skala proyek juga menjadi penting, mengingat kompleksitas kontrak PPP menyebabkan biaya transaksi yang relatif lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan jenis-jenis kontrak lainnya.

The changes were attributed to the New Order Received: Government's policy regarding road infrastructure development to support the January 6, 2020 economy. In addition, there were policies during the New Order era which tended to discriminate against ethnic Chinese. These policies were carried out under the Revised: pretext of affiliation with communism among members of the Chinese June 9, 2020 community.

  • The Effect of Road Upgrading to Overland Trade in Asian Highway Network Ziyodullo PARPIEV ∗ Jamshid SODIKOV **
    Eurasian Journal of Business and Economics 2008, 1 (2), 85-101. The Effect of Road Upgrading to Overland Trade in Asian Highway Network Ziyodullo PARPIEV ∗ Jamshid SODIKOV ** Abstract This paper investigates an impact of road upgrading and improvement on overland trade in 18 out of 32 Asian Highway Network member countries. A regression based cost model was developed. The results indicate that approximately 6.5 billion US dollars is required to upgrade and improve surface condition of the selected roads with total length of 15,842 km. The gravity model approach was adopted to quantitatively evaluate overland trade expansion assuming pessimistic and optimistic scenarios: improvements in road quality indices up to 50 and up to 75, respectively. The results suggests that in the first scenario total intra-regional trade will increase by about 20 percent or 48.7 billion US dollars annually, while second scenario predicts that trade will increase by about 35 percent or 89.5 billion US dollars annually.

  • Genetic Diversity of Aedes Aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) Isolated from Five Cities in North Coast Area of Central Java, Indonesia
    AEDES AEGYPTI GENETIC DIVERSITY IN JAVA GENETIC DIVERSITY OF AEDES AEGYPTI (DIPTERA: CULICIDAE) ISOLATED FROM FIVE CITIES IN NORTH COAST AREA OF CENTRAL JAVA, INDONESIA Benediktus Yohan1, Yulvica Fauziah1,2, Sayono Sayono2, Hidayat Trimarsanto1,3 and R Tedjo Sasmono1 1Eijkman Institute for Molecular Biology, Jakarta; 2Faculty of Public Health, Universitas Muhammadiyah Semarang, Semarang; 3The Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology, Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education of the Republic of Indonesia, Jakarta, Indonesia Abstract. The tropical mosquito Aedes aegypti is the major vector in the transmission of human arboviruses, including chikungunya, dengue and yellow fever viruses. All provinces in the Indonesian archipelago have reported incidences of dengue. In order to study the genetic diversity and the dispersal of Ae. aegypti in Central Java, genetic analyses based on mitochondria cytochrome oxidase 1 gene (mtCOI) were performed on Ae. aegypti isolated in five cities along the national North Coast road of Central Java. Seventeen representative mtCOI fragments from either larvae or adult mosquitoes were PCR-amplified, sequenced and analyzed for sequence polymorphism, haplotype and genetic differentiation. A phylogenetic tree was constructed using maximum likelihood method and general time reversible model. There were seven haplotypes and the presence of different haplotypes in the cities was indicative of the heterogeneity of Ae. aegypti in Central Java. Gene flow and genetic differentiation analyses revealed no differentiation among populations from the cities. The possible gene flow between populations may reflect an active dispersal of Ae. aegypti among the cities as a result of movement of traffic along the national North Coast road of Central Java.

  • 2. Priority Investment
    II. PRIORITY INVESTMENT NEEDS A. Introduction As indicated in chapter I, of the total 141,000 km of the Asian Highway some 22,000 km or 15.8 per cent of the network does not conform to the minimum specified design standards. Therefore, the primary focus should be on constructing and upgrading those sections that are below Class III standard. In addition, some sections of the Asian Highway already meet the minimum design standards but are in poor condition or are approaching their capacities due to the high volume of traffic they are carrying. Therefore, maintenance, rehabilitation and upgrading of those sections are required. The obligation to undertake the construction and upgrading of the network sections within a member State lies with that country. While some States are capable of mobilizing sufficient resources to undertake the development and upgrading of the Asian Highway within their borders, other States will need the assistance of international financing institutions and bilateral donors. Estimates of investment requirements or the investments being made or committed are not yet available. Therefore, the ongoing or committed investments in the development and upgrading are considered below, together with an assessment of investment needs and the identification of priority projects along the Asian Highway. B. Assessment of ongoing investment Table 12 summarizes the considerable investment currently being made by member countries in developing the Asian Highway. a Table 12.
