This tender invites bids for the construction of a 36m reinforced concrete pedestrian bridge over the Ohlanga River. Key requirements include compliance with safety regulations, local labor employment, and project completion within 10 months.
The project entails the construction of a 36-meter reinforced concrete pedestrian bridge in the Amaoti area, addressing the need for a safe crossing over the Ohlanga River. The existing bridge has been compromised, necessitating the development of a new structure that will enhance connectivity for local residents to essential services such as public transport, schools, and healthcare facilities. The successful contractor will be responsible for site establishment, earthworks, piling, and the installation of the bridge deck and parapets, ensuring adherence to all safety and environmental regulations.
In addition to the construction work, the contractor must engage with the local community, employing a minimum of 50% local labor and appointing a Community Liaison Officer (CLO) to facilitate communication and address community concerns. The project duration is estimated at 10 months, and the contractor must provide a comprehensive Health and Safety Plan, ensuring compliance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act. This project not only aims to improve infrastructure but also supports local economic participation and social development.
This tender is suitable for civil engineering firms, contractors with experience in bridge construction, and businesses capable of employing local labor and complying with health and safety regulations.
