Abstract

Variations in construction projects often lead to disputes, particularly concerning implementing change order instructions. To address this issue, this research aims to analyze the legal status of change order instructions in construction contracts in Indonesia, as well as the rights and obligations of the service provider (Contractor) related to the issuance of such instructions. This research employs a normative juridical approach with a case study of substation construction projects in Central Sumatra. Data sources include legislation, contract documents, and relevant legal literature. The research findings indicate that, although normatively based on the principle of freedom of contract and regulations on government procurement of goods/services, a change order instruction has a weak legal position without a contract addendum agreed upon by both parties. Furthermore, the Contractor has the right to negotiate changes and to reject instructions that do not follow procedure but is obligated to execute changes that have been agreed upon. The case analysis of the substation projects revealed that the absence of a firm clause regarding the status of change order instructions within the hierarchy of contract documents is the primary source of problems. Therefore, this research concludes that change order instructions require more comprehensive regulation within construction contracts to protect the parties’ rights and minimize the potential for disputes.

Abstract

Electricity infrastructure development is a national strategic sector directly intersecting with energy sovereignty and public interest. Therefore, construction contract disputes therein involve an intersection between private law and public law regimes. This research aims to critically analyze the basis of BANI’s legitimacy and the limitations of its authority in resolving government-construction contract disputes in the electricity sector. This is intended to guarantee the protection of energy sovereignty and the principle of legality in government administration. The research method applied is a normative juridical approach using the statute, conceptual, and case approaches, with a prescriptive, deductive syllogism analysis technique. The research results indicate that BANI’s legitimacy is derivative and limited. The arbitration institution lacks the adjudicative authority to review the validity of state administrative decisions or to set aside public electricity safety standards. These findings assert that BANI’s role must be reconstructed to remain within the corridor of purely commercial aspects without exceeding the administrative authority of public officials (ultra vires) in managing national strategic infrastructure. In conclusion, the limitation of arbitration authority is a manifestation of the limited delegation of authority doctrine, necessary to maintain state administration accountability while providing legal certainty for energy investment. This reconstruction makes a theoretical contribution by harmonizing party autonomy in civil law with legal sovereignty in the realms of Constitutional Law and State Administrative Law.
