Thulamela Local Municipality has invited suitably qualified contractors to submit bids for the drilling and installation of a borehole, including a pressure pump, at its Mutale Sub Office in the Vhembe District of Limpopo. The project is intended to provide a dependable on-site water supply for the sub office. The tender is categorised under administrative and support activities, but the scope is primarily water infrastructure and construction-related work.
The core scope covers site assessment, drilling to the required depth and specification, borehole casing and completion, and the supply and installation of a pressure pump with its associated fittings and connections. Bidders should expect the work to include testing of yield and water quality, commissioning of the pump system, and handover documentation. The full technical specifications, drawings, pricing schedule, and any compliance requirements are contained in the supporting document titled 'Drilling and Installation of Borehole Including Pressure Pump @ Mutale Sub Office' (PDF).
