Objectives

The primary objective is to procure integrated services for the complete removal of an existing perimeter fence and the supply, installation, and commissioning of a new high-security clear view invisible wall fencing system at the Orient Swimming Pool SUPA facility, managed by the Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality.

Scope of Work

The successful bidder will be responsible for:

• Demolishing and safely removing the current fence structure.
• Supplying and installing 52 tapered locking posts, 52 clear view wall panels, 104 anti-climb spikes, and one single-leaf swing pedestrian gate.
• Excavating post holes, pouring 15MPa concrete footings, ensuring proper alignment, plumb setting, and adequate curing.
• Mounting all components per municipal specifications, including internal spike installation and secure panel-to-post connections.
• Conducting mandatory pre-quotation site re-measurements and restoring the site to a clean, tidy condition upon completion.

Technical Requirements

All materials and installation methods must comply with strict municipal engineering standards:

• Posts: 2.4m length, tapering from 85mm to 45mm, featuring a locking recess mechanism and moisture-proof caps. Must be galvanized and finished with a Jet Black Marine Fusion Bond coat.
• Panels: 3.305m wide by 2.1m high, with 76.2 × 12.7mm apertures and 3.5mm wire diameter. Reinforced with four horizontal “V” bands, integrated flanges, and a high-tensile steel bar cage spaced at 152.4mm intervals to resist cutting.
• Fixings & Security: Panels attach via combination clamps using anti-vandal bolts. Internal 100mm toughened steel spikes must be fixed at 150mm intervals.
• Installation Standards: Concrete footings require thorough consolidation, proper curing, and grouting into rock strata where encountered. Directional changes must maintain a minimum 130-degree angle. All steel must be commercial-grade, single-piece pipes without welded joints.

Skills and Capability Requirements

Bidders must demonstrate operational capacity and regulatory compliance through:

• Industry Grading: Minimum CIDB 1 SQ classification for building works.
• Proven Experience: Evidence of completing similar fencing projects, supported by signed official orders, stamped invoices, and completion certificates.
• Delivery Commitment: Guaranteed supply and installation within 7–21 days of receiving an official purchase order.
• Regulatory Compliance: Active Central Supplier Database (CSD) registration, valid SARS tax clearance, completed statutory MBD declarations, and verified BBBEE status. Joint ventures require formal partnership agreements.
• Evaluation Framework: Awards follow an 80/20 preference point system (80% price, 20% socio-economic goals). Mandatory documentation submission and timely response to sample verification requests are compulsory; failure results in disqualification.

Explanation of Unusual or Complicated Terms

• Clear View Invisible Wall Fence: A high-security perimeter system using tightly tensioned vertical wires that provide strong physical deterrence while maintaining visual transparency for surveillance and environmental safety.
• Marine Fusion Bond Coating: A dual-layer protective finish combining hot-dip galvanization with a polymer-based marine-grade coating, engineered for extreme corrosion resistance in coastal or high-humidity conditions.
• Shark Tooth Spikes: Internally mounted, hardened steel anti-climb deterrents designed to prevent fence scaling without compromising the transparent aesthetic.
• CIDB 1 SQ: A foundational Construction Industry Development Board grading indicating eligibility for small-scale building and civil works contracts.
• 80/20 Preference System: A South African public procurement framework weighting 80% of scoring against competitive pricing and 20% against transformation goals (BBBEE level and supplier locality).
