Tender Summary: Erratum – Road Markings (TECH:2026/27/01)

Overview

This document serves as an official erratum (correction notice) to a previously published Request for Quotation (RFQ). The original advertisement contained an error regarding the required contractor grading. This notice corrects that error and clarifies the mandatory requirements for all prospective bidders.

Objectives

The primary objective of this tender is to procure a qualified contractor for the supply, delivery, and installation of road markings at two specific municipal traffic stations. The erratum's objective is to ensure that all bidders are aware of the correct classification needed to qualify for the project, thereby ensuring that only suitably skilled and registered contractors submit proposals.

Scope of Work

The scope of work is specifically defined as the complete service for road markings, which includes:

• The supply of all necessary materials.
• The delivery of materials to the specified sites.
• The installation (application) of road markings.

The work is to be performed at two locations:

• Mogwadi Traffic Station
• Sekgosesе Traffic Station

Technical Requirements

The most critical technical requirement, as highlighted by this erratum, is the contractor's registration with the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB). The notice explicitly corrects the required grading from the previously stated 1CE to 1SK.

Explanation of Terms:

• CIDB Grading: A standardised classification system used in South Africa to rate construction companies based on their capability and financial standing. The number "1" refers to the maximum value of projects the company is allowed to undertake (typically up to R1 million).
• 1SK vs. 1CE: The letters denote the specific category of work. 1CE refers to "Civil Engineering" works, while 1SK refers to "Specialist Contractor" in the category of Roads and Pavements (specifically for road markings). This correction is crucial as it narrows the field to specialists in road surface marking rather than general civil engineers.

Bidders must provide a valid copy of their CIDB grading certificate reflecting the 1SK classification to be considered compliant.

Skills and Compliance Requirements

• Mandatory Registration: Bidders must possess a valid CIDB grading of 1SK (Specialist in Roads and Pavements). A copy of this certificate must accompany the quotation.
• Specialist Expertise: The requirement implies that the bidder has the specific technical skills, equipment, and experience necessary for road marking application (e.g., thermoplastic or paint application), which is distinct from general construction.

Submission and Administrative Notes

• Closing Date: Quotations must be submitted by 28 August 2026 at 11:00.
• Submission Format: Quotations must be placed in the municipal Tender Box at the Mogwadi municipal offices and must be clearly marked with the words "Road Marking".
• Late Submissions: Quotations received after the closing date and time will not be accepted.
• Right to Refuse: The Molemole Municipality reserves the right to accept or reject any quotation received.
