Project involves the design, manufacture, installation, testing, and commissioning of a new CIP chemical loading system at Lethabo Power Station. The system aims to eliminate manual handling of hazardous chemicals, currently requiring operators to carry dry chemical bags up stairs to the CIP tank. The desalination plant at Lethabo uses UF and RO processes, with the CIP system cleaning membranes to restore performance. The new system must improve operator safety and minimize manual handling.

Mandatory returnable: Proof of ECSA registration (certificate + registration number) for the project lead discipline engineer (mechanical, Pr. Eng or Pr. Tech). Failure to submit this will result in immediate technical disqualification. All mandatory technical criteria are assessed on a yes/no basis—non-compliance with any criterion disqualifies the tender.

Evaluation is split into mandatory and qualitative criteria. Mandatory criteria: Must meet all 'must meet' criteria (e.g., ECSA registration for lead mechanical engineer, valid welding certifications, structural/electrical/instrumentation personnel qualifications). Non-compliance with any mandatory criterion results in disqualification. Qualitative criteria: Weighted scorecard approach with a minimum threshold of 70% required to pass. Key qualitative areas: Process requirements (20%): Basic process flow diagram (PFD), programme of works (manufacturing/installation time ≤35 days), training plan with proof of competent trainers. Mechanical/Equipment (30%): High-level construction method statement, welding certifications (ISO 3834-2 or HDPE standard), lead mechanical engineer CV with piping design experience. Civil/Structural (10%): Method statement for design/construction (plinth/foundation, corrosion protection, bund wall), lead structural engineer CV (≥5 years experience, ECSA registration). Electrical (20%): Methodology compliance, load list/cable sizes, electrical technician (trade test + ≥4 years experience). C&I (20%): Datasheets for pressure gauges/chemical seals, instrument technician CV (≥5 years experience).

Scope: Design, manufacture, install, test, and commission a new CIP (Clean In Place) chemical loading system at Lethabo Power Station to eliminate manual handling of hazardous chemicals. Current process requires operators to carry dry chemical bags up stairs to the CIP tank, creating safety risks. Key deliverables: Detailed design and engineering of the system. Manufacturing of all components. Decommissioning/removal of existing equipment where applicable. Installation: Welding of sampling lines, valves, and probes; provision of scaffolding; installation of C&I and electrical equipment. Testing and commissioning of the installed system.
