Professional Engineering Services for Subdivision Applications

The City of Tshwane's Group Property Department requires a Professional Engineering Service Provider to unlock stalled town-planning subdivision applications on City-owned properties. The applications, lodged following a 2013 to 2016 Council resolution to donate properties to religious organisations across all seven regions, have been delayed by additional technical requirements from the City's service departments. The appointed consultant will deliver the technical and specialist reports required by the Approving Authority so that the subdivisions can be finalised and the properties transferred to beneficiaries.

The scope covers six individual reports across three service categories. Civil Services Reports (five properties) involve desk studies, site inspections, stormwater and internal access road design, and assessment of impacts on municipal infrastructure, prepared in the format of the Transport Infrastructure Planning (Roads and Stormwater) Division. One Geotechnical Report, for Claudius Ext.1 Erf 1243, requires desk studies, boreholes, in-situ and laboratory testing, design parameters, and identification of constraints such as dolomite stability, compliant with SANS 634 and Council for Geoscience comments. One Route Determination Report for Mabopane CV Erf 1005 requires traffic impact analysis, trip generation, intersection and levels-of-service assessment, and compilation in line with Section 7 of the Gauteng Transport Infrastructure Act and Gautrans standards. One Civil Services Report for Farm Hondsrivier 508 JR relates to electricity capacity. All deliverables must follow City of Tshwane by-laws, SANS 10400, SANS 1200 series, TMH and SANRAL manuals, and provide one hard copy and one electronic copy (PDF and editable format).

Bidders must be a single entity or a consortium or joint venture employing Professional Engineers (Pr Eng) registered with ECSA for each service category, or a single engineer registered across disciplines with written justification. Mandatory requirements include certified ECSA registration certificates, and a minimum functionality score of 70 out of 100 is required, assessed on company experience, relevant project references, professional team expertise, and methodology. Evaluation uses the 80/20 preference point system, with fees calculated per the ECSA fee scale. Bidders must also hold a valid CSD registration and tax compliance status, and the contract runs for six months from SLA signature, with milestones at one, three, five, and six months. The project is costed against Cost Centre 7210, GL 412639. Bids close on 12 November 2026 via the City's e-tender portal.
