Objectives

The primary objective is to construct ten (10) vehicle carports at Moletjie Ga Phaudi for the Molemole Local Municipality. The project aims to deliver durable, functional parking infrastructure while adhering to public procurement standards, promoting socio-economic transformation through designated preference points, and ensuring mandatory skills transfer to local personnel.

Scope of Work

The contract encompasses seven core deliverables executed across two identical sites:

• Site Preparation: Clearing and leveling ground measuring 20 meters by 10 meters per location.
• Pest Control: Chemical treatment applied to the paving substrate before brick installation.
• Paving: Supply and installation of interlocking paving bricks across both sites.
• Carport Structures: Fabrication and erection of ten IBR sheeting carports, each designed to shelter one vehicle, featuring a flat roof design with a 2.4-meter height and supported by 110mm diameter steel round poles.
• Kerb Installation: Supply and fitting of pavement kerbs surrounding the paved areas.
• Painting: Protective coating application for all carport structures.
• Close-Out: Final site clearance, waste removal, and project handover procedures.

Technical Requirements

Bidders must satisfy strict compliance, evaluation, and contractual conditions:

• Mandatory registration on the Central Supplier Database (CSD).
• A minimum Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) grading of 1GB NB is required.
• Functional evaluation requires a minimum score of 80% to advance to price assessment. Evaluation relies exclusively on direct appointment records (two reference letters/orders on official client letterhead); subcontractor testimonials are explicitly excluded.
• Quoted prices must remain valid for fourteen (14) days from submission.
• Payment terms stipulate settlement within thirty (30) days of valid invoice receipt.
• Evaluation follows an 80/20 preference point system, allocating eighty points to price competitiveness and twenty points to designated social goals under national procurement legislation.
• Incomplete quotations will be disqualified, and the municipality reserves the right to accept or reject any bid wholly or partially.

Skills Requirements

The tender explicitly mandates skills transfer as a core contractual obligation. Bidders must demonstrate:

• Competent project management and site supervision capabilities.
• Structural engineering and fabrication expertise for assembling steel carport frames and installing corrugated roofing sheets.
• Proficiency in civil works, including ground preparation, interlocking paving installation, and kerb setting.
• Trained personnel for safe application of pest control treatments and protective paint coatings.
• Operational capacity to facilitate structured knowledge exchange, training, or mentorship for local workers or junior staff during project execution.

Explanation of Unusual or Complicated Terms

• IBR Sheeting: Indurated Bitumen Roofing refers to pre-painted, corrugated galvanized steel sheets commonly used for lightweight, weather-resistant carport and shed covers.
• CIDB Grading 1GB NB: A foundational contractor classification indicating eligibility for low-value civil and building works contracts, requiring demonstrated competency in basic construction methodologies.
• PPPFA 2022: The Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act governs South African public procurement, legally permitting municipalities to award bonus points to historically disadvantaged groups, locally based enterprises, and specific demographic categories to advance economic transformation.
