T

outed as an answer to Jakarta's traffic woes, the development of the long-delayed electronic road pricing (ERP) scheme hit a setback after the Jakarta administration announced plans to reopen tenders for procurement.

The plan was made because of a legal opinion from the Attorney General's Office (AGO) that reportedly suggested the administration to do so.

“We will do the tender process again in the near future,” Jakarta Transportation Agency head Syafrin Liputo told The Jakarta Post on Wednesday.

He said the AGO's recommendation stated that the “mechanism in the [previous] tender process is not in accord with requirements".

The AGO also recommended the administration review the documents for the tender, which is to be conducted by the agency next year, thus the ERP was expected to be implemented in 2021, he said.

Due to the halted process, the agency has scrapped a total of Rp 39.3 billion [US$2.75 million] from this year's city budget that was to be allocated to the ERP management unit (UP SJBE). 

“We will propose [funding] in accordance with our needs in the 2020 city budget,” Syafrin added.
