DAI, the
implementer of the “USAID Indonesia Urban
Water Sanitation and Hygiene (IUWASH)”, invites qualified offerors to
submit proposals to supply and deliver Service Provider for “GIS Facilitator of PDAM in Jombang, Gresik and Probolinggo District” in support of program
implementation. Indonesia
Urban Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (IUWASH) Program is five years project
funded by U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). IUWASH implemented
in the framework of comprehensive partnership between United State and
Indonesia to improve environmental quality through improvement of access to
drinking water and safe sanitation. In addition IUWASH also help the Indonesia Government
to achieve Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) for two services above (water
and sanitation) especially to the low income community (MBR) in urban of
Indonesia.
Problem that is often faced by PDAM in serving its
customers is lack of water pressure in the pipeline, so that water cannot be
delivered. Another problem is the difficulty in finding the causes of
congestion in distribution network, so it takes long time for recovery. This is
in generally because the planning and drawing of existing distribution system
is still done by manual system, including the data record and management of
pipeline network and its supporting components, which makes it difficult to
analyze to determine the cause of the problem.
Because they are aware
of the conditions, PDAM in East Java region plan to develop digital pipeline
network (computerized) data that will give the benefit of better management
will be more transparent on distribution system and easy to To
cope with this kind of condition, PDAM cooperates with IUWASH to develop
digital pipe network data (computerized). The data will be used for anylising
and finding out the cause of the problems they have been encoutering for all
these times and therefore making the management of the distribution more transparent. By having digital pipe network data, the
distribution system and the quality of customer service can improve and it also
minimizes the loss of non revenue water (NRW), improves the PDAM’s reputation
and its finance health.
During dicussion with the PDAM, IUWASH offers a
suggestion that is to build digital pipe network with a base of Geographic
Information System techology (GIS). This technology is used to produce spatial
data which can be integrated with the layout map of each District/City. Based on
data that comes from the National Land Agency (BPN), the sanitation system and
telecommunication grid can be integrated as well. However, since most of the
PDAM members were not familiar with this technology, IUWASH have held active
training class to introduce GIS technology which can be applied to the water
distribution system for 9 PDAMs in East Java. The training then followed up by
providing direct assitance through on-the-job training on spatial data
development to three PDAMs; Kota Batu, Malang, and Probolinggo, from 2013 to
2014.
The result was satisfactory and they finally by their own
develop GIS for PDAM’s service areas. Therefore, the training continues and
will be held again in 2015, this time for PDAM in Jombang, Gresik, and again,
Probolinggo.
To
support these activities, IUWASH requires Service Provider for GIS facilitator as a Personal Consultans for 4 (four) months starting from June
to September 2015, to
assist the three PDAMs mentioned above to develop the spatial data base of
distribution pipes network for each PDAM.
