A standardized bidding template for jetty/pier construction is proposed to improve project management at Pertamina Patra Niaga, targeting persistent cost and schedule overruns. The study identifies an effective template format and the required site-specific information to produce accurate bids. Using a comparative approach, the current Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and bidding process are benchmarked against the U.S. National Park Service Class A Cost Estimate Template to recommend a streamlined framework. Results indicate improved cost control, better resource allocation, clearer contractor–project control communication, and a foundation for database automation supported by monitoring and KPI implementation.

Building Standardized Bidding Template for Jetty/ Pier Project as the Basis for Database Automation 1, 2 Wiharsa Pragitatama ABSTRACT This paper aims to improve the management of jetty/pier construction projects at Pertamina Patra Niaga by addressing persistent issues of project cost and schedule overruns. The key research questions focus on identifying the most effective format forbidding templates and determining the necessary information to ensure accurate bids that reflect site-specific conditions. The research employs a comparative approach, benchmarking the company’s current practices against the U.S. National Park Service's Class A Cost Estimate Template. The methodology involves evaluating the existing Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and the bidding process to propose a more standardized and efficient framework. The study concludes that adopting a standardized bidding template aligned with a detailed WBS can significantly enhance project management, reduce cost overruns, improve resource allocation, and streamline communication between contractors and project control. This is expected to serve as a foundation for database automation to improve front-end loading. These findings underscore the need for systematic performance monitoring and the introduction of KPIs to ensure successful implementation.

Importance of Jetty/ Pier for Indonesia Indonesia is the fourth most populous country in the world, with an estimated population of 270 million3. Given its vast population, oil and gas continue to be the predominant energy sources across different sectors, with consumption totaling 477.82 million BOE in 1 How to cite this paper: Pragitatama, W.

As a result, jetties/ piers are crucial in the oil products supply and distribution chain, with continuous maintenance and the construction of new jetty/pier facilities designed to improve supply reliability across Indonesia. As mentioned above, the rising demand for energy, particularly in oil and gas, significantly impacts investment decisions for jetty/piers development, focusing on increasing supply capacity and extending coverage. As Indonesia's largest national oil and gas company, Pertamina Patra Niaga plays a crucial role in distributing oil and products across the country. The reliability of jetty facilities in transporting oil products is crucial to ensuring that Pertamina's operations run smoothly. Most jetty/pier types built by the company are Dolphin Jetties.
