Quotation Notice Q12-1378-R, RUNWAY PAVEMENT BEARING STRENGTH


Tender Summary

Objectives

The primary objective of this quotation is to appoint a suitably experienced service provider to assess and determine the bearing strength of the runway pavement at Pietermaritzburg Airport. The municipality aims to secure a qualified entity capable of delivering accurate, standardized pavement evaluation reports to support infrastructure management and operational safety.

Scope

The scope is strictly confined to the technical assessment of runway pavement bearing strength at Pietermaritzburg Airport. The appointed provider will conduct the necessary evaluations and prepare a formal report utilizing the Aircraft Classification Rating – Pavement Classification Rating (ACR-PCR) method of reporting.

Technical Requirements

  • Proven Project Experience: Tenderers must demonstrate prior experience in conducting PCR determinations at airport facilities. Verification requires submission of award letters, signed reference letters, or completion certificates for current or previous relevant projects.
  • Document Validity: All supporting project documentation must not be older than 1 July 2024.
  • Evaluation Scoring: Technical experience is scored functionally: five (5) points for one verified project, ten (10) points for two projects, and fifteen (15) points for three or more projects.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Quotations must align with the municipality’s Supply Chain Management Policy and comply with the Preferential Procurement Regulations of 2022 under the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act (Act No. 5 of 2000).

Skills Requirements

While not exhaustively itemized, the tender inherently requires specialized competencies in airport pavement engineering and structural analysis. Service providers must possess practical expertise in applying the ACR-PCR methodology, interpreting pavement load data, and producing technically compliant reports. Professionals involved must be proficient in aviation infrastructure assessment and familiar with municipal procurement and verification protocols.

Explanation of Technical Terms

ACR-PCR Method: Aircraft Classification Rating – Pavement Classification Rating is a standardized aviation engineering framework used to evaluate runway pavement adequacy. The ACR represents the structural load imposed by a specific aircraft type, while the PCR indicates the maximum load the pavement can safely support without structural failure. Comparing these ratings ensures aircraft operations remain within safe limits, prevents premature pavement deterioration, and guides maintenance or reinforcement planning.

Joint Ventures, Consortia and Subcontracting:

Most large tenders are composed of tasks in a number of different fields, and it is not always possible for a single company to cater for all of them, and therefore Joint Ventures and Consortia are formed to then submit a tender together.

Government tenders are also requiring the subcontracting of a percentage of the tender work, and the trouble is then finding Subcontractors to comply with the tender requirements

To assist companies with finding tender partners and subcontractors, you can now submit your contact details and company information on this page, so other interested parties can contact you for purposes of forming Joint Ventures and subcontracting
