Tender Summary: Q27/2026/27 Cab Build Case Tractor JX75

Objectives

The primary objective is to engage a qualified contractor to fabricate, assemble, and install a custom-built cab case for a Case JX75 tractor. The project aims to enhance operator safety, environmental protection, and operational efficiency while adhering to municipal procurement regulations and quality standards.

Scope of Work

The successful bidder will execute a complete cab build for the specified tractor model. Responsibilities include structural fabrication, installation of glazing, ventilation, lighting, and safety components, as well as removing the existing roof shade frame. The contractor must arrange logistics to collect the tractor from Struisbaai, complete the build, and deliver it to Bredasdorp. A municipal representative will conduct a mandatory post-delivery inspection; contract payment is strictly contingent upon written approval following this inspection.

• Cab Structure: Standard steel construction finished with epoxy coating.
• Glazing & Openings: 6mm safety glass; sliding windows on left, right, and rear panels.
• Access: Lockable swinging doors on both left and right sides.
• Ventilation: Fan unit integrated with two carbon filters, plus one additional spare set.
• Lighting & Safety: Amber LED roof beacon with a steel protective cage; front cab lights and indicators; front windscreen wiper system with blades and water nozzles.
• Modifications: Complete removal of the original frame and roof shade assembly.
• Documentation: Provision of manufacturer brochures or catalogues verifying all quoted specifications.
• Pricing & Logistics: Fully completed pricing schedule (excluding and including VAT), explicit delivery timeframe, and itemized transport costs for collection and delivery.

Skills & Qualification Requirements

• Industry Accreditation: Valid proof of registration with the Retail Motor Industry Organization (RMIO).
• Financial & Tax Compliance: Active Central Supplier Database (CSD) registration or a valid Tax Compliance Status (TCS) PIN from SARS.

• Corporate Governance: Duly completed authority of signatory forms, enterprise questionnaire, and documents of incorporation.
• Regulatory Declarations: Signed CAMBD forms covering past supply chain management practices, independent bid determination, and conflict of interest disclosures.

Unusual or Complicated Terms & Conditions

• RMIO Registration Mandate: Unlike standard fabrication tenders, this requirement demands formal accreditation through the Retail Motor Industry Organization, ensuring the bidder meets recognized automotive modification and safety engineering standards.
• 80/20 Preference Point System: Evaluation uses a weighted scoring model where 80 points are allocated to price competitiveness and 20 points to specific socio-economic goals. Points are granted based on B-BBEE contribution levels and geographical proximity to the municipality, incentivizing local economic participation.
• Municipal Debt Disqualification Clause: Bidders face automatic rejection if they, or any associated directors/partners, hold municipal debts exceeding three months at any municipality nationwide, reflecting strict fiscal accountability measures.
• Strict Form Integrity Rules: All official bidding templates must be used without retyping. Handwritten corrections are permitted only if struck through legibly, initialed, and dated. Incomplete or altered submissions result in immediate disqualification.
• Conditional Payment Protocol: Unlike standard supply contracts, invoicing is explicitly blocked until a municipal inspector physically verifies the completed cab build, introducing a mandatory quality gate before financial settlement.
