Objectives

The primary objective is to engage a qualified contractor to perform comprehensive servicing, structural repairs, and precise alignment of a municipal swimming pool. The work aims to restore the facility to safe, compliant, and fully operational condition while extending its service life and ensuring user safety.

Scope of Work

The scope encompasses all activities necessary to service, repair, and realign the designated swimming pool. This includes:

• Inspection and assessment of existing pool structures, linings, and surrounding infrastructure.
• Execution of structural repairs, including crack rectification, waterproofing, and surface restoration.
• Precision alignment and levelling of the pool basin and deck to correct settlement or unevenness.
• Provision of all labour, materials, plant, equipment, and supervision required to complete the works.
• Compliance with all municipal health, safety, environmental, and construction standards throughout the project duration.

Technical Requirements

Contractors must demonstrate the ability to deliver high-quality civil and structural works specific to aquatic facilities. Key technical expectations include:

• Adherence to municipal engineering specifications and relevant national standards for pool construction and maintenance.
• Implementation of proven methodologies for structural realignment, waterproofing, and concrete repairs.
• Submission of detailed method statements, quality assurance plans, and risk assessments prior to commencement.
• Full compliance with occupational health and safety regulations during all phases of execution.

Detailed technical specifications, drawings, and performance criteria are contained within the official tender documentation.

Skills and Experience Requirements

To qualify for evaluation, tenderers must meet the following baseline requirements:

• Hold a valid Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) contractor grading of 1EP or higher.
• Possess demonstrable experience in swimming pool construction, rehabilitation, or major structural repairs.
• Employ suitably qualified artisans, engineers, and site supervisors with proven expertise in pool alignment, waterproofing, and civil remediation.
• Maintain adequate financial capacity, technical resources, and project management capabilities to execute the scope within the prescribed timeframe.

Explanation of Unusual or Specialised Terms

• CIDB Grading 1EP: A South African contractor classification system where “1” denotes the project value threshold (up to R10 million) and “EP” specifically categorises contractors specialising in earthworks, paving, and swimming pool construction. This grading verifies competency in aquatic facility works.
• Pool Alignment: Refers to the technical process of correcting structural displacement, foundation settling, or uneven decking that affects the pool’s geometry. Proper alignment ensures correct water drainage, prevents structural stress, and maintains safety standards.
• Servicing & Repairing: Encompasses routine maintenance, defect rectification, waterproofing renewal, and structural reinforcement required to return the pool to optimal functional and aesthetic condition.

All tender submissions must strictly follow the sealing, addressing, delivery, and assessment protocols outlined in the official tender data package. Late or electronically submitted tenders will not be considered.
