Registration for sub-contractors

JAKARTA (JP): The city pre-qualification project committee announced that it has extended the registration period for small- scale sub-contractors to Jan. 31, 1995.

Chairman of the committee Harun Al Rasyid said the decision is made because there are only a few small-scale sub-contractors who have registered themselves to participate in city projects worth under Rp 200 million (US$91,407) each.

According to a statement from city administration, in the period between Nov. 16 and Dec. 23, only 950 out of the 2,000 small-scale sub-contractors in the city have submitted the forms to the committee. The 950 sub-contractors consist of 300 developers and 650 suppliers.

Rasyid added that in this same period the committee sold 916 application forms for developers and 1,517 forms for suppliers.

Harun said that registration is important for small-scale sub- contractors intending to join tenders for city administration projects or those by other cities throughout Indonesia.

He explained that many sub-contractors might not understand the importance of the registration.

Each applicant is obliged to pay Rp 25,000 for the application form. Those whose proposals meet all the requirements will be notified in the middle of February, Rasyid said. (yns)
