Objectives

The primary objective of this tender is to supply, deliver, and replace a boom gate system at Appelsbosch Hospital to enhance security and traffic management. The project aims to install high-durability, high-capacity boom gates capable of handling high traffic volumes reliably and efficiently, with features such as obstruction detection, vehicle presence detection, manual override, and safety sensors.

Scope

The scope includes:

• Supply and installation of two complete boom gate systems with specified boom lengths (3.0m and 3.5m).
• Provision of associated components such as motors, batteries, electronic control units, sensors, end caps, safety beams, and power supplies.
• Site preparation, trenching, re-surfacing, and commissioning of the systems at Appelsbosch Hospital.
• Provision of warranties, compliance certificates, and safety plans.
• Installation to be carried out on-site with minimal disruption, ensuring the existing premises remain operational.

Technical Requirements

The technical specifications specify that the boom gates must:

• Use industrial-grade, high-volume, heavy-duty barriers capable of handling 1000-2000 vehicles daily.
• Feature brushless 24VDC 5A 120W 1400rpm motors with a duty cycle of 100%, ensuring continuous operation without overheating.
• Have opening times of approximately 1.5 seconds for 3.0m arms and 2.0 seconds for 3.5m arms, with variable speed controls.
• Be equipped with programmable electronic control boards housed in waterproof, dustproof enclosures.
• Include safety sensors such as vehicle presence detectors, obstruction detection photocells, and manual override mechanisms.
• Have impact-release or break-away boom arms made of corrosion-resistant aluminum with reflective end caps.
• Be capable of integrating loop detectors and safety beams for vehicle detection and obstruction prevention.
• Meet relevant standards, including CIDB grade EB, and comply with South African safety and building regulations.
• Include warranties of 24 months and compliance certificates upon completion.

Skills Requirements

The successful bidder must possess:

• Proven experience in installing high-volume boom gate systems in high-traffic environments.
• Qualified electricians or technicians with CIDB grading EB or equivalent certification.
• Capability to undertake civil works such as trenching, re-surfacing, and electrical connections.
• Knowledge of safety standards, including electrical compliance and installation of sensors and control systems.
• Ability to provide technical support, training, and after-sales service, including warranties and maintenance.
• Experience in working within hospital or similar sensitive environments with minimal disruption.
