Prequalification for parking announced

JAKARTA (JP): The city administration announced last week that
four private parking operators passed the second phase of the
prequalification term of its partnership program.

Deputy head of the City Parking Agency, Sukri Bey, said two of
the four companies would be selected with City council approval
on Jan. 4.

The four companies, ranked according to their best proposals,
are PT Adiwira Sembada, PT Mega Nusantara Masagena, PT Rodial
Indonesia and PT Sumber Batu.

The bid was held as an effort to improve parking management.
Out of 323 private parking operators in the city, only 50
applied.

Sukri said the screening of the first phase had resulted in 19
companies being selected due to their performance and financial
management record. Further selection resulted in the four
companies being chosen.

"The privatization program is aimed at increasing
professionalism in technology, as well as investment and
management in joint operations, so we can control each other,"
Sukri said.

Sukri predicted that the privatization program would increase
the agency's revenue to Rp 53.5 billion a year, of which Rp 12
billion would be paid to the city administration.

The program will manage 517 on-street parking spots, covering
about 127,856 square meters of parking area across the capital.
