In early 2001, the Government of Malaysia privatized the road maintenance operations for the 11,600 kilometres of paved Federal roads in Peninsular Malaysia. The concession period is 15 years with an allowance for a comprehensive review to be carried out every 5 years. The maintenance operations privatized are the routine, periodic and emergency works. Routine maintenance is carried out at specified intervention levels or at specified cycles and paid on the basis of lump sum scheduled payment for each month in the contract period. Periodic and emergency works are carried out through work orders and paid using a schedule of rates. All maintenance work on the privatized Federal road network is managed by the Public Works Department of Malaysia (JKR), which has 8 regional offices situated throughout Peninsular Malaysia.
