After
being waited for five years, Ministry of Public Works finally launched
guidelines on Analysis of Price of Per Unit of Work (AHSP) in the field of
Public Work as a reference in supporting performance of construction work, like
analysis of basic unit price of work component, maker of Owner Estimate (HPS)
for construction workers, and maker of Planning Price Estimate (HPP) for
service providers.
Minister
of Public Works, Djoko Kirmanto, said that the guideline will create uniformity
of methods in making HPS, HPP, and evaluation of unit price of work in procurement
as well as physical performance. Before the guideline (AHSP), construction
cost estimates were calculated by using BOW 1941. Consequently, disparity
between cost estimates and actual costs frequently occurred so the Ministry of
Public Works must use internal planning evaluation system within each directorate
general in order to find price estimates which are almost equal to the actual
price.
Djoko
said that the guideline will create a uniformed formula in calculating basic
unit price of worker’s wage, equipment and material, and in calculating unit
price of work, owner estimate, and planning price estimate for works in the
field of public work. The guideline is a single reference to be used by all
directorate generals in planning price of their respective projects.
The
guideline must be used starting from the day it is launched. Therefore, the
guideline shall be first used within the Ministry of Public Works, then it will
be socialized to the public.
In
addition to making AHSP as guideline, Djoko also planned to make it as a legally
binding rule. “The process is bit by bit. The guideline will be stipulated by
Circular Letter of the Minister of Public Works. Then, it will be ratified to
became Regulation of Minister of Public Works to make it legally binding”, he said.
