Title: TECHNICAL REFERENCE DEVELOPED FOR INDONESIAN STAFF RESPONSIBLE FOR LOCAL ROADS
Abstract: A major nationwide program has been established in Indonesia to bring reliable road infrastructure into the rural areas that contain major economic potential or currently possess high levels of population. Although national and provincial roads have been increasingly brought into a uniform system of tendering and maintenance, the county-type roads have remained outside such standards. A multiyear commitment to maintenance and construction of rural low-volume roads is in hand. However, local problems have been identified for the on-going maintenance of such new roads. Therefore, two departments within the Ministry of Public Works of Indonesia have been assisted by New Zealand consultants under a loan from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development to compile a maintenance-related technical reference. This document encompass the needs of all 246 counties regarding options between contracting and force-account methods. It compares labor-intensive and machine-intensive maintenance methods for local roads. This reference is to be distributed to civil engineers, contractors, and officials involved in local routine road maintenance as well as to county staff. (Author)
