13 Project Management & General Services F or the year 2009, the PPA Division continues to support the Department’s needs in terms of buildings and vehicle maintenance, power supply and communication services; and monitoring and implementation of projects under the 5 Year Malaysian Plan. This report will briefly cover some of the activities such as our spending on building and vehicle maintenance, procurement of new vehicles, fuel consumption, the status of RMK9 project implementation, the nursery unit and others activities carried out by the PPA Division throughout the year. • Headquarters Pipe Leakages In August 2009, works to repair the pipe leakage behind the canteen was completed. The contractors had to find the source of the leak before doing their work until midnight. We found that the materials used in our old pipe system are no longer available in the market. This will create problems when it comes to maintenance work such as repairs in the future. We need creative and competent contractors to resolve this problem. Building Maintenance For 2009, only the task and monitoring of the Headquarters was left under the supervision of the Division. The task of monitoring for the rest of the buildings was left to the relevant division and District Forestry Officer. A total of RM512,604.80 was spent on the maintenance of HQ for the year 2009. For a record, the spending is only 39% from the total amount of RM1.3 million being used in 2008. This spending included electrical and aircond servicing, minor renovation in various Divisions and the maintenance of the Marine Complex buildings at Batu Sapi. The reconnection of water supply at the Marine Complex, Batu Sapi and repairs of supply water pipes at Headquarters is briefly reported as below:• Marine Complex Pipe Connection To overcome time-immemorial problems of water shortage faced by the Marine Complex, several solutions were initiated by the PPA Division. Hauling water by trucks from the Water Department and rainwater collection by the staff were done. However these were only temporary solutions and deemed unsustainable and inefficient. The best solution was to get public water supply through a pipe connection via Kampung Gas. The application was approved by the Water Department and all costs for connectivity were borne by the Forestry Department. Problem of En. Mazlan Dullah inspecting the pipe water supply no connection at Marine Complex. longer exists at the Complexes consequently. Water supply is chanelled and stored in our main tank at the Marine Complex, Batu Sapi The contractor working at night to rectify and repair the pipe leakages at Headquarters. Vehicle Maintenance Throughout the year, a total of RM1,021,779.00 had been spent to repair and maintain all vehicles in Headquarters, Sabah Forestry Institutes and other Forestry Districts. The amount increased by 256% compared to the RM399, 820.00 spent in the previous year. The escalation of the amount is due to 2008 unpaid bills which had been carried forward to 2009 for payment. Major overhauls of most of our old vehicles also contributed to the spending increase. Boat Maintenance A total of RM415, 470.10 were spent on boat maintenance in 2009. The spending increased by merely 20% compared to the expenditure of the previous year at RM348, 029.59. Increase of part prices plus the number of boats being maintained might be the reason for the increase. Procurement of Vehicles, Boats and Engines In 2009 the Department purchased 44 units of vehicles at a cost of RM4.5 Million. These include 33 units of Vigo, I unit of Fortuna, 3 units of lorries, 3 units of heavy machines, 2 units of single cabs and 2 units of buggies. Distribution of vehicles is shown in Table 13.1.
