The appointment of service provider to supply and deliver Power Tools for the Department Air Quality

Services workshop based at Irene Weather Office.

The South African Weather Service (SAWS) is a public entity of the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the

Environment (DFFE) and derives its mandate from the South African Weather Service Act (No as

amended). The public entity is listed as a Schedule 3A Public Entity in terms of the Public Finance Management

Act (PFMA).

SAWS is tasked with providing timely and accurate scientific data in the field of meteorology to the broader

South African society: a combination of both public good and commercial services. The organization plays a

vital role in South African public life, not just as a provider of key services, but also in empowering citizens to

adapt the effects of the ever-changing weather.

The state of the ambient air is a matter of National importance and is included as one of the National outcomes

that are reported to the Presidency. To assess the state of air quality in South Africa ambient monitoring of air

quality is required. The National Framework on Air Quality Management (2007) and the MoU between the

Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE) and the SAWS (2010) sets the operational space

for the current and future activities of the Department Air Quality Services, in the South African Weather

Service.

The Air Quality Technicians are responsible for the maintenance of the ambient air quality monitoring stations

situated in the Priority Area Networks, (Vaal, Highveld & Waterberg). SAWS seeks to purchase Power Tools for

the air quality workshop located at Irene Weather office.

1.6.1.1 In cases of period contracts, non firm prices will be adjusted (loaded) with the assessed

Contract price adjustments implicit in non firm prices when calculating the comparative

Prices

1.6.1.2 In this category price escalations will only be considered in terms of the following formula:

 R1t R 2t R 3t D 4t  Pa = (1 − V )Pt  D1 + D 2 + D3 + D 4  + VPt

 R1o R 2o R 3o D 4o 

Where:

Pa = The new escalated price to be calculated.

(1-V)Pt = 85% of the original bid price. Note that Pt must always be the original bid price and

not an escalated price.

D1, D2.. = Each factor of the bid price eg. labour, transport, clothing, footwear, etc. The total of

the various factors D1,D2...etc. must add up to 100%.

R1t, R2t...... = Index figure obtained from new index (depends on the number of factors used).

R1o, R2o = Index figure at time of bidding.

VPt = 15% of the original bid price. This portion of the bid price remains firm i.e. it is not

subject to any price escalations.

1.6.1.3 The following index/indices must be used to calculate your bid price:

Index.......... Dated.......... Index.......... Dated.......... Index.......... Dated..........
