SANRAL requires the capacity improvement of national route 1 section 1 between old oak interchange (km 18.90) And koelenhof interchange (km 33.00) In the western cape, with the successful contractor bound by the project's environmental management plan (EMP) throughout construction and the defects notification period. The EMP sets out mandatory environmental controls covering site establishment, water and vegetation management, dust and noise control, spill response, waste handling, rehabilitation and public liaison, and requires an approved designated environmental officer (deo) with at least an nqf level 6 qualification and two years' relevant experience. Non-compliance is treated as a breach of contract and exposes the contractor to spot fines, withheld payments and removal of personnel from site. The most consequential bidder consideration is that environmental obligations are contractually binding and priced into the works, so the cost of the deo, monitoring, rehabilitation and penalty exposure must be built into the tender.
Closing: 12 february 2027 at 12:00; NO compulsory briefing or site visit is stated, so bidders must confirm submission arrangements directly with SANRAL. designated environmental officer (deo): the contractor must nominate a deo holding an accredited nqf level 6 qualification in environmental or natural sciences (or equivalent) with at least 2 years' experience in a similar construction or regulatory role, submitting the cv to the engineer at least 14 days before any construction activity starts. Method statements: NO construction activity may begin until a written method statement covering activity type, timing, location, procedures, materials, equipment, impacts, prevention and containment measures and emergency procedures has been approved by the engineer and the independent engineer. Water and site controls: NO construction camp within 150 m of a watercourse without dws authorisation; dws approval required before abstracting water or developing boreholes; baseline upstream and downstream water quality testing before construction and monthly thereafter, with NO taking-over until quality returns to pre-construction levels or better. Environmental incidents: spills must be contained immediately and reported to the deo or engineer, with the contractor liable for professional clean-up, specialist input and rehabilitation costs; environmental emergency procedures and a complaints register must be maintained on site. Penalties: non-compliance with the EMP is a breach of contract, triggering spot fines listed in appendix 1, possible withholding of payment for repeated damage, and the engineer's power to remove non-compliant personnel from site. Rehabilitation: disturbed areas must be re-vegetated with indigenous species and alien vegetation controlled per cara and nemba, with this responsibility continuing until the end of the defects notification period and retention monies potentially held until vegetation cover is established.
