Objectives

The primary objective is to supply and execute comprehensive building renovation works for Ward 53. The project focuses on restoring structural integrity, improving interior and exterior finishes, and ensuring full compliance with municipal safety, environmental, and procurement standards within a defined delivery period.

Scope of Work

The contractor must dismantle collapsed roof structures, clear debris, and perform structural repairs including brickwork replacement, plastering, and surface preparation. Key deliverables include:

• Roofing & Insulation: Installation of galvanised IBR roof sheets on pine purlins and multina trusses, complete with flashings, and application of reflective aluminium insulation sheeting.
• Rainwater Management: Fitting of seamless gutters, downpipes, brackets, and PVC fascia boards.
• Interior Finishes: Suspension of gypsum board ceilings on steel grids, replacement of water-damaged laminated flooring with sound-reducing underlay, installation of specified aluminium Venetian blinds, chrome-plated door locksets, semi-solid door replacements, and timber dado rails.
• Painting & Varnishing: Surface preparation, priming, and application of specified topcoats to internal/external walls, skirting, doors, and frames.
• Site Management: Daily rubble removal, maintenance of a clean workspace, and final handover in accordance with municipal directives.

Technical Requirements

• Active CIDB Grade 1GB or higher registration, subject to verification during scoring.
• Submission of a fully completed returnable price schedule via the designated online portal; unpriced contingency items will render the tender non-responsive.
• Mandatory inclusion of a 10% contingency line item for unforeseen events, which will be deducted from the contract value if unused.
• All quoted rates are deemed all-inclusive, covering material security until project handover.
• Provision of a compliant Health & Safety file prior to commencement.
• Working hours restricted to weekdays 08H00–16H00; after-hours or weekend work requires explicit Project Manager approval.
• Utilisation of local ward-based labour and submission of EPWP certificates for invoices on contracts valued at R30,000 or above.
• Daily staff attendance registers and adherence to the General Conditions of Contract (GP GCC 2010).
• Tender prices must remain valid for thirty days from submission date. Electronic submission only; fax submissions are invalid.
• Attendance at a compulsory site meeting prior to the closing date.

Skills Requirements

Service providers must hold valid trade test certificates for both Carpenter and Painter qualifications. Practical expertise in structural demolition, masonry repair, roofing installation, ceiling and flooring systems, precision painting, and joinery is essential. Contractors must demonstrate competency in municipal compliance frameworks, including health and safety documentation, programme scheduling, and preferential procurement reporting. Familiarity with standard construction methodologies, quality assurance protocols, and strict adherence to specification tolerances and delivery timelines is required.
