Implementation of Value Engineering in Evaluating the Project Plan of Agrosari Water Supply Construction in Kutai Kartanegara

— This study aims to implement value engineering analisis to the project plan of Agrosari Drinking Water Supply System (SPAM) in Samboja District, Kutai Kartanegara Regency. This case study applies quantitative methods. Value engineering analysis is performed to analyze the budgetting of three works in the project; construction of water treatment plant, electrical mechanics, and reservoir construction. The value engineering model applied in this study is a job plan. Primary data were obtained through direct interviews with the project manager and other parties involved in the drinking water supply system development plan. Secondary data includes working drawings, budget plans, work plans, and requirements. Meanwhile, the value engineering analysis stage includes the stages of information, function analysis, creative, evaluation, and recommendations. The Agrosari clean water supply system (SPAM) construction project has a bid rate of IDR 29,697,700,000. Based on the results of the analysis, it can be concluded that the application of value engineering for the Agrosari drinking water supply system development project plan, Kutai Kartanegara, was able to generate significant cost savings in the aspects of the water treatment plant construction work, electrical mechanics, and reservoir construction. The value of savings for each job sequentially is 26% (IDR 1,100,000,000), 3.24% (IDR 132,000,000), and 48% (IDR 1,496,573.199). The results of this value engineering can be considered by the relevant project management, and should be applied before the project is implemented. The budget plan needs to be reviewed so that the financing of development projects is more effective and efficient. The selection of alternatives carried out in this study does not only refer to the lowest costs, but still maintains the quality of these alternatives. To reduce risks in selecting alternatives, calculations should be made regarding material preparation, work methods, and the expertise of construction worker
