Rural Works Department Tender

The required prior work experience for the bidder includes work performed as a prime contractor or sub-contractor on construction works of a similar nature and volume over the last five years. The bidder needs to provide a certificate from the Engineer-in-charge for the similar work experience. The bidder should have experience in works similar to the ones described, such as construction of subgrade and earthen shoulders, granular sub-base, water-bound macadam, and other related works. Specific roles have specific experience requirements: - Road Manager: Graduate in Civil Engineering with 2 years of experience in road/bridge works. - Bridge Engineer: Graduate in Civil Engineering with 5 years of experience in road/bridge works, if the length of the bridge is more than 15m. - Maintenance Engineer: Diploma in Civil Engineering with 3 years of experience in road/bridge works. - Works Supervisor: Matric or equivalent with 5 years of experience in road/bridge works, but 3 years of experience is also mentioned. The value of similar works completed is calculated based on the maximum value of civil engineering works executed in any one year during the last five financial years, updated at 8% per year to the price level of the preceding current financial year. The bidder is also required to invest money from their own resources, with a minimum of 25% of the contract value. To qualify for the award of the Contract, each bidder should have, in the last five years, achieved in any one year a minimum annual financial turnover of 50% of the amount put to bid. At least 50% of this turnover should be from civil engineering construction works. For example, if the amount put to bid is 100, the bidder should have achieved a minimum annual financial turnover of 50 (50% of 100) in any one year in the last five years, with at least 50% of this turnover (25) being from civil engineering construction works. The available bid capacity is calculated as: Assessed Available Bid capacity = (A*N*M - B), where A is the maximum value of civil engineering works executed, N is the number of years prescribed for completion, and M is 3. The lead partner in a Joint Venture must meet not less than 50% of the qualification criteria, while each of the remaining partners must meet not less than 25% of all the qualifying criteria. The Joint Venture must collectively satisfy the requirements of the criteria. The bidder's available bid capacity must be more than the total bid value. The required prior work experience in terms of value and percentage of similar works completed is not explicitly stated, but the bidder's experience is related to the "Maximum value of civil engineering works executed in any one year during the last five financial years" denoted by 'A'.
