Rand water requires the replacement of asbestos-containing materials with non-asbestos alternatives at 55 sites across gauteng, including reservoirs, pumping stations, break pressure tanks, boreholes and related water infrastructure. The work spans a wide geographic area from sasolburg to trichardt, with each site identified by farm or erf description and GPS coordinates. Bidders must be prepared to mobilise across multiple locations and manage asbestos removal and disposal in compliance with relevant regulations. The most consequential consideration is the scale and dispersion of the sites, which will test logistical capacity and safety compliance.
Sites: Work covers 55 named sites (reservoirs, pumping stations, break pressure tanks, boreholes, sludge disposal and control works) across Gauteng and adjacent areas; each site is listed with farm/erf details and GPS coordinates in Annexure C4.
Scope: All asbestos materials at the listed sites must be replaced with non-asbestos materials; bidders must handle asbestos removal, disposal and replacement in line with legal requirements.
Closing: Bids close on 24 November 2026 at 14:00 (time zone not stated in the source).
Submission: The submission method and address are not stated in the available document; bidders must confirm from the full tender pack.
Site access: No mandatory briefing or site visit is mentioned in the available document; bidders should verify whether one is scheduled.
Compliance: Bidders must comply with all applicable asbestos regulations, including safe handling, transport and disposal; no specific CIDB grade, B-BBEE level or local content percentage is stated in the available document.
Documentation: The full tender pack will include standard National Treasury forms (e.g. SBD/MBD); bidders must complete all required forms and declarations as specified in the main tender document.
