Effectiveness of Longsegment Contract Method on The Road Rehabilitation and Maintenance System

Abstract

Longsegment is a road maintenance system on a contract basis to service providers throughout the fiscal year. In implementing longsegment contracts, service providers are required to have good quality materials so that road maintenance is maintained in quality, this causes the costs incurred to be efficient. This research will discuss how effective the longsegment road maintenance system is so that it can achieve a more efficient implementation cost for road maintenance. This research method is to measure the performance of roads handled by conventional contracts and longsegment contracts in terms of the final results of road conditions as assessed by the International Roughness Index (IRI) and Surface Distress Index (SDI) methods, then analyze the effectiveness of the contract system on the costs incurred by the user. The results showed that road performance carried out in 2016 by conventional contracting resulted in road stability of 88.79% at a cost of Rp. 87,912,696,000.00 while road performance using the longsegment contract system implemented since 2017 resulted in road stability. 95.29% with a fee of Rp. 75,312,723,000.00; road stability is 95.97% at a cost of Rp.70.026300.000.00; road stability is 90.42% at a cost of Rp. 24,014,464,000.00. From the results of road conditions and costs incurred for road preservation, it can be concluded that longsegment road maintenance is more effective than conventional contracts.
