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. Specifically, the experience required for different roles includes: - 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 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. However, specific values and percentages of similar works completed are not mentioned, except that the bidder's experience is considered in terms of "A = Maximum value of civil engineering works executed in any one year during the last five financial years", which is updated at 8% per year to the price level of the preceding current financial year. The bidder is also required to have completed similar works, with a value calculated based on the maximum value of civil engineering works executed in any one year during the last five financial years. Additionally, the bidder must demonstrate having experience and resources sufficient to meet the aggregate of the qualifying criteria for the individual contracts. The available bid capacity will be 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 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, with the relevant figures for each partner added together to arrive at the Joint Venture total capacity, which shall be 100% or more. The bidder is also required to invest money from their own resources, which shall be no less than 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 Assessed Available Bid capacity is calculated as (A*N*M – B), where A is the maximum value of civil engineering works executed in any one year during the last five financial years. The bidder's available bid capacity must be more than the total bid value.
