Rand water requires a contractor to carry out maintenance and refurbishment of the zk school and war on leaks infrastructure at its zwartkopjes site in gauteng. The works fall under CIDB class 3gb general building and will be evaluated on functionality (minimum 70/100) before price and b-bbee preference under the 80/20 system.
