PSU assistance for the first phase is in the form of installing environmental road paving blocks and is targeted to be completed within the next three months or 90 calendar days with a total contract value of Rp 1.9 billion," he explained.

The companies receiving the PSU assistance include PT Mandan Acip Putra (Maniamas Resident) in Landak Regency and PT Insan Kapuas (Taman Insan Kapuas 3), PT Kalimantan Artha Velociti (Kav Satu Residence Phase 2) and PT Lintas Borneo Artha (Kav Satu Residence). Residence Stage 3).

Andy also reminded contractors in implementing PSU assistance to pay attention to three things, namely right quality, right time and right administration.

In addition, his party will also immediately take care of the asset handover process to the regional government after the PSU is completed so that the administration will be more orderly.

"In the construction of this PSU, we are also trying to fulfill the Cash-Intensive Program by involving workers from the community around the housing location as much as 30 percent of the total workers. We will also carry out a strong test of the upper and lower foundation layers in order to meet the eligibility standards," he said. .
