We have two presentations. Tomorrow night, Agenda Persetujuan C1 is a resolution that allows the extension of one year of cleanliness service contract up to 427.42 with CSI International Inc. for Skyline Center at 115 3rd Street.
Mr. Wali Patah. I have a question for you. Yes, ma'am. And I'm aware that they brought this back. But because this is the second and last extension, I just want to know when the staff will start the process for cleaning service of TA 28 and whether the next contract will be proposed through competitive offer. It will be through RFP and maybe around six months from now. Yes, we will start the process around six months.
C2 is a resolution that requires the release of the right of ownership in the road line. C3 is a resolution that gives authority to the city manager to renew the one-year agreement with Smartsheet Incorporated at a price of Rp. 150,000 with the option of two additional years and the total amount is not exceeding Rp. 333,000.
Do we know how many employees and departments are actively using this software? And do we take advantage of it to ensure that we pay the right amount of licenses? I will give it to Jane Cliff for that. Right now we have up to 200 licenses. We have about 170 active users. When I say active users, those are people who can edit, make a solution within it. We use it for various things such as TTI tickets. I will talk to my department. Every department can use it for other things. SDM uses it for finance. I would say this year we are evaluating it because we feel a little frustrated with some of the direction of the company's development. So we are seeing it right now and we will consider several options over the next year. So that's why there are two more years. But right now, if we don't continue what we have, it will cause a problem. Om, do we have other software applications that duplicate these functions now?
I don't think it's duplicating.
We will see Microsoft products that can replicate what we do in Smartseeds.
C5 is a resolution that gives permission to the City Manager to apply for Hibah Block Transport Service Funds that can be directly attributed as much as Rp. 2,000 for the completion of the road network along New Center Drive. C6 is a resolution that gives permission to the City Manager to apply for Hibah Block Transport Service Funds that can be directly attributed as much as Rp. 2,000. for the improvement project of roads and roads in the Medical Center Drive and then C7 is a resolution that allows air access with CMT Real Property LLC in River Road I have one more question, you can ask as many as you want Yes, this is my first air agreement here
The promise in our package seems to be the loss of the final air image and it contains the explanation that the development will provide vertical and horizontal dimensions. Have you received the final technical image? I give it to Prof. Gordon for the next question.
Good morning. Yes, it's actually on page A. It is used in page 2 and 3 of page A. It will function as an image for the agreement.
And I think that answers all my questions.
Do we know what material will be carried through the conveyor? I don't know if you will be here tomorrow night, but I can certainly get that information for you today.
That will be very helpful. Yes, that will be very helpful. And who sets and verifies the vertical free distance required above the river route? And does the agreement require the free distance to be maintained permanently?
Yes, that's right. And in my opinion, the limiting factor there is the railway line right outside the general line. The railway also passes under this conveyor. It's not in the general line, but the free vertical distance that is required by the railway, exceeding what is usually required by DOT and other parties. Mduk Power also has a problem with the electricity line and it has to be raised. So they have coordinated with Duk, the fire department, CFPF, Waya, and others.
Then we go to C8, which is the agreement in our committee. The last one is public information, regional regulations based on public opinion. 01 is the regional regulation on additional allocation for public improvement funds and special purpose funds with a total of Rp. 65.222.32 for the purchase of investigation unit equipment at the event. Then 02 is the regional regulation that reduces the speed limit in some receipts of the New State Code 2782. Next, the resolution that changed the schedule of the Board of Directors in 2026, which has been set. Then, R2 is the resolution that adopted a commentary on the assessment of the environment related to the introduction of the KVIL warning bridge and the report of the Board of Directors assessment committee. And that ends this agenda. Is there anything else you want to convey by the City Manager? There is nothing else this morning, Mr. Mayor of the City.
Is there any other questions?
