The Coega Development Corporation (CDC) was appointed as the Implementing Agent (IA) by the

Department of Public Works and Infrastructure (DPWI) Prestige Projects to implement the Museum

Total Upgrade, including fire detection protection system, roof repairs, and Interior and Exterior

Waterproofing.

Groote Schuur Museum was constructed in 1897 by Sir Herbert Baker an Architect for Cecil John

Rhodes. A Large, ornate double-storey 'Cape Revival mansion typical of Baker's work. Two offset

rectangular wings, the main reception room wing having generous verandas front and back, the

second wing, being more service orientated, is built around a small courtyard. A third, a long, single-

storey flanking wing, containing utility rooms, serves as a retaining structure to the service wing.

Baker's reworking of traditional Cape architectural elements is seen in full display here - ornate

gables, mouldings, twisted chimneys, large 'cottage pane' windows with solid-panel shutters,

French doors, elaborate staircases and finely detailed and crafted Burmese teak interior joinery

abound. Period elements from around the world reflecting early colonial architecture were acquired

to create an 'authentic' Cape feel.

This call for RFP requests potential Turnkey Contractors to register their interest in participating in

providing turnkey services, which will entail decanting, designing, execution, commissioning,

Handover, and close-out of the project.

3. Project site & location

The Groote Schuur Museum is located at the Groote Schuur Estate in Cape Town, Western Cape

province.Address is Groote Schuur Estate, Rhodes Drive, Rondebosch, Cape Town, 7700, South

Africa. 33°57'50"S 18°27'51"E.
