Objectives

The primary objective is to construct a fully compliant netball court in Ward 13, adhering to municipal infrastructure standards and international sports facility guidelines. The procurement aims to deliver a durable, safe, and regulation-compliant recreational asset through a transparent, value-driven bidding process.

Scope of Work

The successful bidder will execute the complete construction and outfitting of a 36m x 18m (648m²) netball court. Key deliverables include:

• Earthworks: Site surveying, ripping, and soil compaction.
• Kerbing: Supply and installation of F10 kerbs along the entire court perimeter.
• Base Construction: Importation, levelling, and compaction of 200mm G5 material primed with MC 30.
• Asphalt Layer: Installation of 30mm thick 6.7mm hot-mix asphalt.
• Surface Treatments: Application of four slurry seal layers followed by two mastic seal layers for weather resistance and smoothness.
• Colour Coating: Three layers of court colour (interior green, exterior orange/maroon) applied from light to rich finish.
• Markings & Equipment: International-standard line markings, permanent tennis goal posts, and new nets.
• Fencing: Construction of a 3.6m high chain-link galvanized green coated PVC diamond mesh fence with one gate, finished with specified enamel paint.

Technical Requirements

Bidders must demonstrate strict adherence to the following technical and administrative criteria:

• Construction Standards: All works must align with international netball court specifications and municipal quality benchmarks.
• Mandatory Documentation: Submission of three (3) completed project orders and corresponding completion certificates for similar courts, valid Central Supplier Database (CSD) registration, tax compliance clearance, and BBBEE verification documents.
• Evaluation Framework: Quotations will be assessed using an 80/20 preference points system, allocating 80% to price competitiveness and 20% to socio-economic goals (BBBEE status and local business presence).
• Contract Administration: Execution under the General Conditions of Contract 2015, with delivery expected within 8–12 weeks of official purchase order issuance.
• Compliance: Bidders must not be listed on restricted supplier registers, must declare independent bidding practices, and must comply with all municipal supply chain management regulations.

Skills & Experience Requirements

Successful bidders must possess proven expertise in civil and sports infrastructure construction, including:

• Proven Track Record: Demonstrable experience completing at least three netball courts or equivalent sports facilities meeting international standards.
• Civil Engineering Capability: Proficiency in earthworks, base course preparation, asphalt laying, and specialized surface sealing techniques.
• Sports Facility Fit-Out: Competence in installing court markings, goal posts, nets, and perimeter fencing to regulatory specifications.
• Project Management: Ability to coordinate multi-stage construction phases, manage material logistics, and adhere to strict municipal timelines and quality controls.
• Administrative Competence: Familiarity with public sector procurement processes, contract compliance, and mandatory reporting/documentation requirements.

Notes on Unusual or Complicated Terms

The following technical and procedural terms require clarification:

• G5 Material & MC 30 Prime: G5 refers to a standardized granular base course used in heavy-duty paving; MC 30 is a medium-curing cutback asphalt applied as a binding primer between the soil base and asphalt layer.
• Slurry Seal & Mastic Layer: Specialized polymer-modified surface treatments that enhance durability, water resistance, and playing surface smoothness for outdoor sports courts.
• Brainswick Green Gloss Enamel: A high-performance industrial paint specified for corrosion protection and aesthetic finishing of metal fencing structures.
• 80/20 Preference Points System: A municipal procurement evaluation model prioritizing cost efficiency (80%) while reserving 20% of scoring for socio-economic transformation targets, specifically Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) levels and geographic locality.
• CSD Registration: A government-mandated database requirement ensuring suppliers maintain active tax compliance and verified business credentials before contract award.
