Supply and delivery of electrical, aircon, battery and ptm spares – arnot power station (60-Month contract)

The CPA form is an annexure to the price schedule. If space is insufficient, submit a separate schedule for costs to be quoted per item; otherwise reference the appropriate price schedule. The form includes sections for cost of manufacture, transport, installation/erection, and totals for works cost, transportation, and installation/erection and engineering.

Contract price adjustment (CPA) applies to the supply and delivery, and where applicable installation and commissioning, of plant and equipment. The CPA form is an annexure to the price schedule.

Key rules:

• If the bidder does not propose a CPA method (by completing the form or proposing an alternative) for any portion of the tender price, that portion is treated as fixed.
• The tender/contract price remains fixed if the period between tender closing and contractual completion is less than one year.
• When calculating percentage changes, the index/price at the earlier date is the base.
• Adjustments apply separately to portions of the works delivered at different times.
• If the agreed claim indices are unavailable or provisional, interim claims may use the last published indices; a final claim must be submitted within 180 days of delivery/installation.
• Transport escalation claims must be accompanied by evidence of the transport method (rail or road).
• Eskom may call for documentary evidence to substantiate any claim.

Cost of manufacture (Section A1):

• A fixed portion (free of price adjustment) is required, as stated in the NEC documents under secondary clauses.
• Labour cost: a stated percentage of the F.O.R. works price is adjusted using the SEIFSA Index of Actual Labour Cost (Table C3) or another appropriate index, comparing the month before enquiry closing with the month before each delivery ex works.
• Constituent materials: percentages of the F.O.R. works price are adjusted using recognised indices (e.g. SEIFSA or Statistics SA). Supplier in-house indices are not acceptable. The percentages for fixed portion, labour and materials must add up to 100%.

Cost of transport (Section A2):

• A fixed portion is expected.
• A stated percentage of transport cost within South Africa is adjusted using the appropriate Rail Reference or SEIFSA Index of Road Freight Costs (Table L2).

Cost of installation/erection (Section A3):

• A fixed portion is expected.
• A stated percentage is adjusted using the SEIFSA Index of Actual Labour Cost Field Force (Table C3(a)) or another appropriate index.

Works-related contracts (Section B):

• For ECC/ECSC contracts, a fixed portion is required, the base date is the month before tender closure, and the proportions must add up to 1.
• For ECC or Supply Contract, complete Contract Data part 2 of the secondary option on CPA.
• For ECSC, complete the proportions table for the Price Adjustment Factor.

This annexure sets out Eskom's requirements for contract price adjustment (CPA) and payment of foreign commitments when tendering for goods or services that involve foreign currency or imported components.

Bidders who price imported goods/services in a foreign currency or link pricing to an exchange rate must be the direct importers of those goods/services.

• Payment Method 1B requires prior South African Reserve Bank (SARB) approval to invoice Eskom in foreign currency and receive proceeds into a CFC account.

• If a bidder cannot provide a commercial invoice, the contract will be concluded in South African Rand and not linked to any exchange rate.

Contract price adjustment (CPA) requirements for foreign goods and services:

• CPA conditions apply if the contractual duration exceeds 12 months; otherwise a fixed price must be offered.
• For contracts longer than 12 months, CPA is not applicable for the first year; it applies from year two onwards.

• Eskom will not accept rate-of-exchange adjustments in any CPA formula.
• Local indices may not be used for CPA on imported components; separate formulae for local and foreign escalation are required.
• A minimum of 15% of the total agreement value must be fixed when a CPA formula is applied.
• Each CPA formula must total 100.
• Only official published indices in the public domain may be used; no in-house indices.

Payment methods for foreign commitments:

• Payment Method 1A: payment to a nominated foreign bank account in foreign currency; requires commercial invoice, SAD 500, bill of entry, customs release, transport documents.
• Payment Method 1B: payment to a SARB-approved CFC account in South Africa in foreign currency; requires SARB approval documentation, commercial and local tax invoices matching.
