Invitation for service providers In the construction industry to submit an expression of interest for the rebuilding and/or repair of affected water and sanitation infrastructure at various schools in KwaZulu-Natal
BACKGROUND
During April and May 2022, KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) was ravaged by floods which caused extensive damage to public and private sector infrastructure and property. Areas most impacted were along the coastal regions. Government, along with Civil Society organisations, NGOs and the Private Sector mobilised in response to this disaster to provide assistance to impacted communities. Sasol pledged its support to communities affected by the floods in KZN, which included immediate humanitarian relief as well as the rebuilding of affected infrastructure. As part of this response, Sasol engaged with the KZN Department of Education (DoE) with a view to provide assistance for impacted schools identified by KZN DoE. It was agreed that Sasol will support the DoE by the rebuilding and/or repair of affected water and sanitation infrastructure at various schools in KZN.
Charities Aid Foundation Southern Africa (CAFSA) is an independent non-profit organisation that promotes and facilitates effective giving, volunteering, and social investment. As part of its mandate, CAFSA partners with corporates to effectively act as an independent implementation agent to assist these corporates to achieve their Corporate Social Investment (CSI) goals. Sasol appointed CAFSA as implementation partner for the rebuilding and/or repair of the affected water and sanitation infrastructure.
To assist with technical expertise, CAFSA engaged LA Consulting Engineers (LA) in July 2022 to conduct inspections of the schools identified above and compile a report on the damage caused, and rebuild and/or repairs required at the affected schools for consideration by CAFSA and SASOL.
The project has now reached the stage where it is necessary to appoint a building construction company to undertake the rebuilding and/or repairs to the water and sanitation infrastructure at 7 schools in KZN – specifically in the areas of Luthuli, Richmond, Port Shepstone, Folweni, Pinetown and Amanzimtoti.
