Road maintenance project in East Nusa Tenggara involves some
activities such as road improvement, periodic maintenance or
routine maintenance. However, there are some barriers such as the
unachieved time and cost targets in road maintenance project.
Research is carried out to acknowledge the factors affecting the
unachieved time and cost targets in provincial road maintenance
project in east Nusa Tenggara, to search for the most dominant
factor in its effect, and to determine the strategy used by
contractor to deal with these factors.
Data analysis method there are used in the research such as
descriptive statistic, factorial analysis, and path analysis. The
questionnaire is distributed to 43 respondents. They are
contractor, owner, and supervisory consultant who are involved in
the provincial road maintenance project in East Nusa Tenggara with
unachieved time and cost targets in budget years of 2007 and
2008.
Considering with these results, factors significantly affecting
the unachieved time and cost targets in provincial road maintenance
project in East Nusa Tenggara are: human resource by -standard
coefficient of 0.342; material by -standard coefficient of 0.326;
equipment by -standard coefficient of 0.287; work environment by
-standard coefficient of 0.260; design modification by -standard
coefficient of -0.361; and time target by -standard coefficient of
0.580. All independent variables do not give indirect effect on
dependent variable of cost target (Y2). The most dominant factor
affecting unachieved time target is human resource by -standard
coefficient of 0.342. The most dominant factor influencing
unachieved cost target is time target by -standard coefficient of
0.580. A proposed strategy to deal with the unachieved time and
cost targets in road maintenance project in East Nusa Tenggara is
by recruiting the professional from outside East Nusa Tenggara,
including them from Bali or Java due to their competence and
experience in meeting the demand of work implementation. By the
way, contractor should to prepare the labours with high skill and
productivity, and to hire or use the experience and educated
foreman and field supervisor in project implementation.vii
