Objectives

The primary objective is to modernise and improve the operational capacity of the Fraserburg Sports Facility through targeted infrastructure enhancements, ensuring safer, more accessible, and better-maintained sporting grounds for community use.

Scope of Work

The project encompasses the following key activities:

• Pavilion alterations and structural modifications
• Boundary fence upgrades and security enhancements
• Floodlight repairs and electrical system maintenance
• Installation of a permanent irrigation system
• All associated earthworks and site preparation

Technical Requirements

• Contractor Grading: Tenderers must hold a CIDB contractor grading of 5CE or higher.
• Mandatory Attendance: Participation in a compulsory clarification meeting is required; only attendees may submit bids.
• Evaluation Threshold: Bids undergo pre-evaluation against specific functionality criteria. Submissions scoring below 80 out of 100 points will be deemed non-responsive.
• Tender Deposit: A non-refundable deposit of R807.07 must be paid prior to document collection, with proof of payment submitted before the specified deadline.
• Submission Protocols: Strict adherence to sealing, addressing, physical delivery, and assessment procedures is required. Electronic submissions and late tenders will be rejected outright.

Skills Requirements

While the notice does not list individual trade qualifications, compliance with the CIDB 5CE grading inherently requires contractors to demonstrate:

• Proven experience in civil engineering and earthworks projects of comparable scale
• Adequate financial capacity and audited accounting records
• Competent project management and quality assurance capabilities
• Access to qualified artisans, engineers, and specialised equipment suitable for structural, electrical, and irrigation installations

Explanation of Key Terms

CIDB Grading 5CE: A South African National Construction Industry Development Board classification system. The numeral “5” indicates medium-value municipal projects, “C” denotes Civil Engineering, and “E” specifies Earthworks. Contractors must maintain verified financial standing, technical competence, and a track record of successfully delivering similar infrastructure works to qualify.

Functionality Criteria Threshold: A mandatory pre-qualification scoring mechanism where bids are assessed against predefined operational and technical requirements. Achieving less than 80/100 points automatically disqualifies the submission as non-responsive, regardless of the financial proposal.
