Tender Summary

Objectives

The primary objective is to procure two distinct service packages: the supply and delivery of two ride-on lawnmowers, and the execution of comprehensive building renovation and carpentry works for Ward 53.

Installation of galvanised IBR roof sheets with aluminium insulation, seamless gutters, downpipes, and PVC fascia boards. Interior works encompass suspended gypsum ceilings, removal and replacement of water-damaged laminated flooring with sound-reducing underlay, installation of aluminium Venetian blinds across designated offices, and chrome-plated lockset fitting. Carpentry duties include semi-solid door replacements, timber dado rail installation, and skirting preparation. All works require daily rubble removal, full site security, and final handover in a clean condition.
