316 Stainless Steel Wall-Mounted Ladder Supply & Install

Johannesburg Water SOC Ltd, a municipal entity of the City of Johannesburg, has issued Request for Quotation RFQJW0099SM2026 for the supply and installation of a new 316 stainless steel ladder at one of its reservoir facilities. The scope includes removing the existing damaged ladder along with all associated brackets and fixings, then designing and fabricating a 5m high wall-mounted ladder in Grade 316 stainless steel. The ladder must safely support personnel and withstand the reservoir environment, so corrosion resistance and structural integrity are central requirements. The contractor must install the ladder using engineered support brackets, bolts and anchors, with all welding carried out by qualified welders. All penetrations and attachment points must be sealed to prevent water ingress, and the completed design must be signed off by a professional engineer. A safety file is also a compulsory deliverable.

Bidders must attend a compulsory site briefing on 11 November 2026 at 10:00 at the Johannesburg Water Depot (Flow Laboratory), Fennel Road, Johannesburg. Quotations must be submitted through the National eTenders Portal by 16:00 on 18 November 2026 and remain valid for 60 days from the closing date. Pricing must be firm and inclusive of all applicable taxes, including VAT at 15%, as quotations that exclude taxes will be disqualified. Quotations must be on company letterhead in PDF format. Mandatory returnable documents include a valid tax clearance certificate or SARS PIN, a valid BBBEE certificate or compliant sworn affidavit, CSD registration, company registration documents with director ID copies, and the MBD 4, 6.1, 8 and 9 forms. Technical submissions must include a valid CIDB SL registration certificate, a boilermaker trade test certificate, proof of structural engineer registration with ECSA, and a relevant reference letter.

Evaluation uses the 80/20 preference point system, with 80 points allocated to price and 20 points to specific goals under the PPPFA 2022. Although the eTenders category is listed as Mining support service activities, the work is municipal water infrastructure maintenance. The project is a single, well-defined fabrication and installation job rather than an ongoing service contract, which makes it suitable for specialist contractors able to deliver a compliant, engineer-certified installation within a short procurement timeline.
