The project has applied international contract document (FIDIC, pick book) to execute it as the project was funded by World Bank. The contract agreement was very effective and well balanced from holding a fair balance between the interests of both parties to the contract.

In this case study, not only the strength of conditions contained in the contracts of a construction project, but also the weakness of that contract conditions can be highlighted.
