SPSS 25 ABSTRACT Contingency cost estimation is essential for construction project management to anticipate cost uncertainty due to various risks. This study analyzes risk-based contingency cost estimation in the Bogor City Phase I wastewater network system project. The background of this research is based on the need for accurate cost planning to avoid budget overruns and ensure project The study aims to identify risk factors that affect contingency costs, group risks based on their degree of influence, and build a more accurate estimation model using the Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach. This study uses a mixed method, namely qualitative analysis through interviews and literature studies to identify risk factors and a quantitative approach by distributing questionnaires to project stakeholders. The data was analyzed using SPSS 25 and SmartPLS software to test the validity and reliability of the contingency cost estimation model. The study results show that the most significant risk in the pre-construction stage is licensing and design, while in the construction stage is procuring equipment/materials and force majeure factors. The highest contingency cost estimate is in the preconstruction stage, with a value of 11. The study's conclusion confirms that risk mitigation in the early stages of the project is essential to reduce the impact of budget uncertainty. The implications of this study contribute to the management of construction projects by providing a more accurate risk-based contingency cost estimation model that can be used as a reference for stakeholders in planning and managing infrastructure projects. Introduction Cost is one of the essential elements of project management and an important element in project funding decisions. (SE et al. , 2. (Lock, 2. It is also one of the most essential parameters for measuring the success of a project. (Hussein et al. , 2. Accurate cost estimates are crucial to project cost control. Cost estimation is a quantitative assessment, based on the information available at a given point in time, of the likely cost Indonesian Journal of Social Technology. Vol. No. February 2025 Risk Factor Analysis on Contingency Costs of Phase I Wastewater Network Project in Bogor City of the resources required to complete a project (PMI, 2. (Desmyra, 2. (Fauzi, 2. (Fajar et al. , 2. (Lumentah et al. , 2. Risks are things that may occur naturally in a situation or beyond expectations. Even though an activity has been planned as best as possible, there is still uncertainty that it will run entirely according to plan (Ambiya et al. , 2. (Maralis & Triyono, 2. (Christin & Sihombing, 2. The implementation of construction projects also experiences the same thing. there is no guarantee that the implementation in the field will run as planned (Ervianto, 2. This uncertainty requires parties related to construction to be able to recognize and manage risks (Kerzner, 2. The relationship between contingency costs and risks on a project includes allocating additional funds intended to cover the uncertainty of estimated costs that may arise due to exposure to risk during the project's implementation. (Traynor & Mahmoodian, 2. The total estimated cost of the project consists of the estimated base cost plus the contingency cost. Base costs are initial estimates based on typical conditions and initial project planning, while contingency costs are prepared to anticipate uncertainties and risks that cannot be explicitly predicted at the construction stage. (Sutikno & Rohman, 2. The city of Bogor is currently experiencing problems with sanitation. According to the Bogor SSK (City Sanitation Strateg. Document . , only 3. 8% of Bogor residents have access to a safe sanitation system (Pangestu, 2. This portion is tiny compared to the target set by the Government in the 2020-2024 National Medium-Term Development Plan, which is 15%. The percentage of careless defecation is also high, 1% compared to the zero percent target . %). To overcome these sanitation problems. Bappeda Bogor, the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (Ministry of Public Works and Public Housin. Bogor City, and other relevant stakeholders under the guidance of WB & KEITI plan the construction of sewage systems which will be carried out in 2 phases. Phase I will serve areas with fewer pumps and higher revenue potential derived from commercial buildings and residential complexes. Meanwhile. Phase II will serve areas with more complex topography and need pumps. It is currently in the Detail Engineering Design (DED) stage for the Phase I construction project of the Bogor City Wastewater Network System, which will be operated in the period 2027 to 2037 (Setiawan, 2. Contingency cost analysis is critical in the preconstruction and construction stages. Without adequate contingency cost estimates, projects can experience a shortage of funds that can hinder completion or degrade the quality of the final deliverables (Sayed et al. , 2. Contingency costs are often calculated as an overall percentage in addition to the basic estimate, usually derived from intuition, experience, and historical data. This study uses a flexible and rational approach, using SPSS 25 to check the validity and reality of research variables. Then, it was continued by simulating the contingency cost estimate based on risk management in the Bogor wastewater network project (Peginusa et al. Indonesian Journal of Social Technology.

Stated that the results of the questionnaire analysis using the mean method showed five high risks that require mitigation and cost analysis results. This study aims to analyze risk factors, group the risks that affect contingency costs, and apply the Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method to produce a more accurate contingency cost estimation model. The research objectives include minimizing the risk of cost overruns, preparing unique calculation models, and improving the quality of project management. The research method approach uses related theories, namely construction projects, wastewater network systems, risk management, contingency costs, and the PLS-SEM method. This research is expected to provide input to practitioners regarding the amount of contingency value in the Bogor City Phase 1 Wastewater Network System Project based on the risks that will occur in preconstruction and construction. This study's novelty is that it combines expert interviews as qualitative data that is converted into a quantitative model, and it makes a significant contribution to the development of a combined approach. The analysis of the contingency estimate of the wastewater network system project provides a new context for updates in the latest case The research results are expected to offer practical solutions for risk management and project cost control. Method Research on contingency cost estimates for Phase I of the Bogor City Wastewater Network will be conducted using qualitative and quantitative approaches to ensure valid and reliable estimation results. In the qualitative analysis stage, a literature study will identify the risk factors that affect the project's cost in the preconstruction and construction stages. Additionally, interviews with experts in the construction field will provide in-depth insight into best practices and empirical experience in contingency cost These interviews will also help confirm findings from the literature and identify specific risks that may not have been detected beforehand. For quantitative analysis, use the distribution of questionnaires on respondents. Then, the amount of impact and probability value will be obtained. Then, the validity and reality of the variables will be checked using the SPSS 25 application, followed by impact and probability analysis to determine the risk category. Impact and probability analysis will also be modeled as an estimate of the contingency cost. Through a combination of qualitative and quantitative analysis, this study can produce a more accurate and reliable contingency cost estimation model for the Phase I project of the Bogor City Wastewater Network.

Hermin Poedjiastoeti Data collection and questionnaire phase II are conducted using a closed questionnaire to This phase II study aims to identify risk factors affecting the estimation of contingency costs of the Bogor City Phase 1 Wastewater Network projects. The respondents in Phase II are the entire population of the Bogor City Phase 1 Wastewater Network project. The data from the phase II questionnaire was processed with qualitative analysis to produce influential risk factors, risk categories, and contingency cost estimation simulations. Before being analyzed, the relationship between indicators, latent variables, and main variables will be tested. Validity and Reliability Testing Validity tests are used to measure the validity or invalidity of a questionnaire. questionnaire is said to be valid if the questions can reveal something that the questionnaire will measure. The reliability test is a tool to measure a questionnaire, which is an indicator of a variable or construct. A questionnaire is considered reliable if a person's answers to statements are consistent or stable over time. Risk Categorization Local values are calculated by multiplying the element's weight by the number of respondents who answered the element criteria for each risk factor variable. Each average local value of risk frequency and risk impact is used to obtain the value of the risk factor (SzymaEski, 2.
