Construction of Waste Drop-Off & Composting Facility

Matzikama Municipality has issued tender T15-2026-2027 for the construction of a new public drop-off, material recovery and composting facility. The project forms part of the municipality's waste management strategy, aimed at providing residents with a accessible point for depositing household and garden waste, diverting recyclable materials from landfill, and processing organic waste into compost. The facility is expected to support improved waste separation at source, reduce the volume of waste sent to landfill, and contribute to the municipality's environmental sustainability objectives.

The scope of work is expected to cover civil and general construction activities for the establishment of the facility, which typically includes site preparation, earthworks, concrete and paving works, drainage and stormwater management, access roads and traffic management, fencing and security, and the erection of buildings or covered areas for material handling and storage. Specialised works may include designated drop-off bays, material recovery and sorting areas, compost windrow or composting pad construction, leachate management, and the installation of mechanical or electrical services. Bidders should expect compliance requirements under the National Environmental Management: Waste Act, relevant SANS standards, and the Occupational Health and Safety Act.

The successful contractor will be required to deliver the project within the agreed programme and budget, provide appropriate health, safety and environmental management, and comply with the municipality's Supply Chain Management Policy and the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act. Bidders will need to demonstrate relevant track record in civil or waste-related construction, appropriate CIDB registration at the required grading, key personnel qualifications, and financial capacity. Documents for the tender are available for download on eTenders, and interested contractors should review the full bid documentation, as the detailed specifications, drawings and evaluation criteria could not be extracted for this summary and should be verified directly.
