The Eastern Cape Department of Transport is seeking to appoint a panel of service providers for the construction of ancillary works on roads, which will be executed through in-house construction teams. This contract will span a period of 36 months, with the potential for extensions based on project needs. Contractors are required to demonstrate completion of at least two similar projects valued at a minimum of R2.5 million each within the last ten years. The scope of work includes various ancillary activities such as stormwater drainage, gabions, stone pitching, guardrails, and fencing, ensuring improved road infrastructure across the province.
Successful contractors will be expected to employ local labor and adhere to labor-intensive construction methods as part of the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP). This initiative not only aims to enhance road infrastructure but also to foster local economic development by creating job opportunities for unskilled and semi-skilled individuals in the surrounding communities. The tender emphasizes the importance of safety, requiring contractors to have qualified health and safety personnel on-site, ensuring compliance with all relevant regulations throughout the duration of the project.
This tender is suitable for civil engineering firms with experience in road construction, particularly those capable of employing local labor and adhering to safety regulations. Businesses that have previously completed similar projects within the SADC region are encouraged to apply.
