Email format: split the submission into at least four attachments of about 4 MB each, use the same subject heading as the invitation, and do not CC or BCC any ACSA employee.
Mandatory administration: CIDB contractor grading of 1CE or higher, plus a form of offer completed and signed in full. Every page must be signed or stamped, and proof of authority to sign must be attached.
Functionality threshold: 70 of 100 points to reach price and preference. Company experience 50 points (two or more completion certificates or reference letters for sealing cracked concrete = 50, one = 35, irrelevant = 0); supervisor qualification 25 points (National Diploma in Civil Engineering NQF 6 or higher = 25, N3 to N6 = 15, below N3 = 0); supervisor CV experience 25 points (over three years = 25, two to three years = 20, under two years = 0).
Preference points (80/20): B-BBEE Level 1 = 5, Level 2 = 4.5, Level 3 = 4, Level 4 = 3, Level 5 = 2, Level 6 = 0.5, Level 7 = 0.3, Level 8 = 0.1, non-compliant = 0; black youth, black women and disability majority-owned entities each score 5.
