C2.1 Pricing assumptions: Option B

How work is priced and assessed for payment

Clause 11 in NEC3 Engineering and Construction Contract (ECC3) Option B states:

Identified and 11

defined terms 11.2 (21) The Bill of Quantities is the bill of quantities as changed in accordance

with this contract to accommodate implemented compensation events and for

accepted quotations for acceleration.

(28) The Price for Work Done to Date is the total of

• the quantity of the work which the Contractor has completed for each item

in the Bill of Quantities multiplied by the rate and

• a proportion of each lump sum which is the proportion of the work covered

by the item which the Contractor has completed.

Completed work is work without Defects which would either delay or be

covered by immediately following work.

(31) The Prices are the lump sums and the amounts obtained by multiplying

the rates by the quantities for the items in the Bill of Quantities.

This confirms that Option B is a re-measurement contract and the bill comprises only items measured using

quantities and rates or stated as lump sums. Value related items are not used. Time related items are items

measured using rates where the rate is a unit of time.

Function of the Bill of Quantities

Clause 55.1 in Option B states, “Information in the Bill of Quantities is not Works Information or Site

Information”. This confirms that specifications and descriptions of the work or any constraints on how it is to

be done are not included in the Bill, but in the Works Information. This is further confirmed by Clause 20.1

which states, “The Contractor Provides the Works in accordance with the Works Information”. Hence the

Contractor does not Provide the Works in accordance with the Bill of Quantities. The Bill of Quantities is

only a pricing document.

Guidance before pricing and measuring

Employers preparing tenders or contract documents, and tendering contractors are advised to consult the

sections dealing with the bill of quantities in the NEC3 Engineering and Construction Contract Guidance

Notes before preparing the bill of quantities or before entering rates and lump sums into the bill.

There is no general provision in Option B for payment for materials on Site before incorporation into the

works. If secondary Option X14 Advanced payment has not been used then the tendering contractor may

obtain the same effect by inserting appropriate items in the method related charges where the method of

measurement allows, or alternatively making allowance in the rates of the bill of quantities for the financing

of Plant and Materials until they are incorporated in the works.

When compensation events arise, the default position is that the Bill of Quantities is not used to calculate

the cost effect of the event. Defined Cost and the resulting Fee is used and Defined Cost includes all

components of cost which the Contractor is likely to incur, including so called P & G items. Rates and

lump sums from the Bill of Quantities, or from any other source, may be used instead of Defined Cost and

the Fee only if the Contractor and Project Manager agree. If they are unable to agree, then Defined Cost

plus Fee is used.

inclusive of all work, risks, liabilities, obligations, overheads, profit and everything

necessary as incurred or required by the Contractor in carrying out or providing that

item.

An item against which no Price is entered will be treated as covered by other Prices or rates in the

bill of quantities.

The quantities contained in the Bill of Quantities may not be final and do not necessarily represent

the actual amount of work to be done. The quantities of work assessed and certified for

payment by the Project Manager at each assessment date will be used for determining

Description of the works

Executive overview

Eskom has a mandate to fulfil its Key Performance Indicators as stated in the NERSA Policy; which reads as

follows:

Electricity supply — quality of service (nrs 047-1:2005 8)

2.1. Providing a supply

If a customer has paid all the money he owes and met all other obligations stipulated by the licensee and if,

where applicable, all subsidies have been received, the following time frames shall apply for the provision of

supply:

a) Within 30 working days where existing infrastructure can be used;

b) Within two months where LV network extensions are required and within three months where MV network

extensions are required; and NOTE It might be necessary to negotiate an extended period of time to

accommodate delivery of equipment from manufacturers.

c) If new networks have to be installed, if HV extensions are required or if supply is required for industrial and

commercial customers, the period for providing the supply shall be negotiated between the customer and the

licensee. The target percentage success is at least 95 %.

The panel of contractors is needed for the construction of direct customer projects as and when applications

are raised from customers. These projects range from 30 days duration up to a negotiated time frame

depending on the scope. To meet the NERSA requirements (ELECTRICITY SUPPLY — QUALITY OF

SERVICE (NRS 047-1:2005 8), immediate service by the panel of contractors is therefore needed to execute

the works. The volume applications and various scope of works necessitate the panel of contractors.

Therefore, noting that Eskom does not have sufficient manpower it is imperative that contract of this nature

be established, and in order to fulfill the volume of applications for power connections, that this contract has

to be in the form of a panel.

Employer’s objectives and purpose of the works

The scope of work for MV and LV Minor and Major reticulation lines is standard throughout Eskom and was

compiled by Project Execution Department and Stated as follows:

Document Classification: Controlled Disclosure TECHNICAL EVALUATION CRITERIA FOR NCOU MINOR Unique Identifier: 559-1090503513 AND MAJOR WORKS CONTRACTORS Revision: 1 Page: In light of fairness and transparency, each submission will undergo three independent evaluations during each phase of the evaluation process. Upon completion of each evaluation phase, the evaluation results from the evaluators / teams will be compared to identify any discrepancies, namely a moderation procedure. Next evaluation phases will not commence until the moderation process has been completed successfully. Contractual Obligation Requirements phase of the Technical Evaluation process will commence after approval of the mandate before contract award. 3.2 Mandatory Evaluation Phase 3.2.1 Preliminary Evaluation The Preliminary Evaluation is an initial check performed to determine if a detailed mandatory evaluation is viable to be performed. The primary focus of the Preliminary Evaluation is to ensure prescribed compliance and completeness of the technical submission. Table 1 lists the items/returnables and prescribed requirements evaluated as part of the Preliminary Evaluation. Note: If any required documentation is omitted (i.e., not submitted) or incomplete (i.e., not signed, certified or has insufficient information), the technical submission will be discarded and disqualified without giving the tenderer an opportunity to submit or resubmit the outstanding documentation. The evaluators shall review the total technical submission and indicate a Pass or Fail for each item listed in Table 1. Only submissions that pass all the items will continue with the evaluation process; if any item is marked as ‘Fail’, the submission will not be further evaluated and will be considered unsuccessful. 3.2.2 Mandatory Evaluation Submissions that fulfil all Preliminary Evaluation will progress to the Mandatory Evaluation phase of the technical evaluation process. This evaluation is essential to verify that the tendering contractor possesses, or has access to, the necessary skills, machinery, and resources required to execute the scope of work outlined for MV/LV Major and Minor Projects. The Mandatory Requirements are set out to ensure that all bidders demonstrate a baseline capability to undertake the tender requirements effectively. This assessment is conducted on a strict Pass/Fail basis. Each criterion within this section must be satisfactorily met (i.e. Pass). Important: If a submission fails to meet any of the Mandatory Requirements (as outlined in Table 2, Table 3 and Table 4) the entire submission will be deemed unsuccessful and will not proceed to the next stage of evaluation (Functional Requirements). Upon confirmation by the evaluator that all Mandatory Requirements have been qualified, the evaluation process will move forward to a thorough technical evaluation of the Functional Requirements. It is imperative that all submissions meet these criteria to ensure alignment with the project's standards and objectives. 3.2.2.1 Skills Resources As part of the Mandatory Phase technical evaluation for Skills Resources, the purpose is to determine whether a tendering contractor has access to the minimum required skills resources, either through direct employment or via a third-party provider. Note: Only the specific skills categories listed in Table 2 and Annexure B – Skills Resources Schedule may be sourced from a third-party provider. If the contractor intends to rely on third-party vehicles, machinery, or tools along with skilled operators, this must be explicitly confirmed in writing by the relevant hire or rental service provider. The following documents are required to be submitted for each resource listed on Annexure B – Skills Resources Schedule

If any of the above documents are not included or fail to meet the minimum criteria as part of the technical submission, the resource will not be considered as contributing to the evaluation outcome. Mandatory Skills Resources Outcome Failure to adequately demonstrate access to the minimum required skills resources, as outlined in Table 2 shall result in a 'Fail' for this section. A failure in the skills resource evaluation shall render the entire tender submission unsuccessful, and it will not proceed to the next stage of evaluation. Only submissions that successfully demonstrate access to all minimum skills resources specified shall achieve a 'Pass' outcome for the mandatory technical evaluation of this section. 3.2.2.2 Vehicles The purpose of the vehicle mandatory evaluation is to determine whether the prospective contractor can demonstrate access to the minimum required vehicles, either through ownership or hiring. Table 3 outlines the specification and minimum vehicles required by a tendering contractor (suited for access, transport, mounted machinery, etc.); the returnable evidence required for each vehicle type and the minimum number of vehicles required for each vehicle type according to the mandatory phase. Owned Vehicle Qualifier: The tenderer shall ensure that all vehicles declared as 'owned' are not subject to any lease, rental, or third-party ownership agreements that could restrict their availability for use in the execution of this contract. Providing false or misleading information in this declaration shall result in the disqualification of the tender submission and may lead to legal action. Hired Vehicle Qualifier: If a vehicle is being hired, the tenderer shall submit valid proof of hire in the form of an official letter from the hiring company. This letter must clearly list the specific vehicles being hired (i.e., all items in the relevant schedule or specific items as applicable), including the make, model, and quantity. Only letters issued by bona fide vehicle hiring companies or equipment suppliers will be accepted. Letters issued by construction companies or other contractors will not be considered valid. The letter must be signed by an authorised representative of the hiring company (lessor) and must confirm that the hired vehicles will be available to the tenderer for the full duration of the contract. Note: Should the Tenderer hire a truck equipped with a suitable vehicle-mounted crane and utilise an operator provided by the hiring company, it shall remain the sole responsibility of the Tenderer to ensure that the operator holds a valid training certificate or permit for operating the truck-mounted crane. The Tenderer shall be responsible for verifying the legitimacy and validity of such accreditation.
