JAKARTA - The construction project for three cigarette production warehouses worth IDR 4.36 billion in the Tobacco Products Industrial Estate (KIHT) Kudus, Central Java, will begin in early November 2022. "If there is no re-tender, of course, the implementation of development has started in October 2022, but, there is a re-tend because no tender participant has passed the offer evaluation, then it will be postponed (so early November 2022)," said Head of the Industry, Cooperatives, Small and Medium Enterprises Office of Kudus Regency Rini Kartika Hadi Ahmawati in Kudus, Central Java, quoted from Antara, Thursday, October 27. Even though there have been tender winners for three activity packages, said Rini, there are still stages of rebuttal, while the signing of the contract is between November 1-4, 2022. He hopes that when the contract can be carried out on November 1, 2022, the next day the construction can begin immediately because the time is only 60 days. In order to maintain the quality of the building, according to him, the supervision will certainly be tightened so that the implementation according to schedule and quality is also in accordance with the planning. Meanwhile, the value of the first activity package ceiling or building M is Rp. 1.39 billion, then the second package or building N value of the activity package ceiling is Rp. 1.81 billion and the third package or building L is Rp. 1.16 billion. Meanwhile, the ceiling for the rehabilitation of the prayer room, canteen and waiting room is Rp. 719.2 million. Of the three buildings that wanted to be built, some of them were 400 square meters in size, then 300 square meters in size and 200 square meters in size. The construction budget comes from funds for excise and tobacco products (DBHCHT). With the addition of three production buildings, according to Rini, KIHT's capacity from the previous 11 warehouses to 14 warehouses is in response to the large number of small cigarette entrepreneurs who are interested in renting the place. The Manpower Office of Industry, Cooperatives, Kudus SMEs noted that so far there are 17 small cigarette entrepreneurs who have registered to be able to occupy KIHT. However, because their capacity is limited, they must be patient. With the increase in the capacity of cigarette entrepreneurs in KIHT this year, he continued, there will be two small cigarette entrepreneurs who can enter. Meanwhile, one warehouse is planned for a cigarette maker's machine which will later be rented out to small cigarette entrepreneurs.
