PA-29: CERTIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT BID DETERMINATION

Project title:	DEPARTMENT OF HOME AFFAIRS: CONSTRUCTION OF ADDITIONAL ACCOMMODATION FOR MHALA OFFICE. (STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING)
Tender no:	NST22/001	Reference no:

INTRODUCTION

1.	This PA-29 [Certificate of Independent Bid Determination] must form part of all tenders¹ invited.

2.	Section 4 (1) (b) (iii) of the Competition Act, 1998(Act 89 of 1998) as amended, prohibits an agreement between, or concerted practice by, firms, or a decision by an association of firms, if it is between parties in a horizontal relationship and if it involves collusive tendering (or tender rigging)².Collusive tendering is a per se prohibition meaning that it cannot be justified under any grounds.

3.	Treasury Regulation 16A9 prescribes that accounting officers and accounting authorities must take all reasonable steps to prevent abuse of the supply chain management system and authorizes accounting officers and accounting authorities to:

a.	disregard the tender of any tenderer if that tenderer, or any of its directors, have abused the institution’s supply chain management system and/or committed fraud or any other improper conduct in relation to such system;

b.	cancel a contract awarded to a supplier of goods and services if the supplier committed any corrupt or fraudulent act during the tendering process or the execution of that contract.

4.	This form (PA-29) serves as a certificate of declaration that would be used by institutions to ensure that, when tenders are considered, reasonable steps are taken to prevent any form of tender rigging.

In order to give effect to the above, the attached Certificate of Bid Determination (PA-29) must be completed and submitted with the tender.

¹	Includes price quotations, advertised competitive tenders, limited tenders and proposals.

²	Tender rigging (or collusive tendering) occurs when businesses, that would otherwise be expected to compete, secretly conspire to raise prices or lower the quality of goods and / or services for purchasers who wish to acquire goods and/or services through a tendering process. Tender rigging is, therefore, an agreement between competitors not to compete.

Level of responsibility, liability and risk: These may range from relatively low levels of responsibility and/or risks to projects with unusually high responsibilities and/or risks that are expected to be carried by the consulting engineer.

Level of expertise, qualifications, skills and experience: Some works do not require a high degree of expertise while other works may require more specialized expertise or substantial skills and experience that cost more to develop and retain.

Level of technology required and changes in technology that may influence the costs of the services provided.

Whether aspects related to labour intensive works need to be considered in the design.

Combinations of one or more of the above factors may require an adjustment of the tariffs to fairly compensate the consulting engineer and this adjustment should be negotiated in good faith by both parties.

Agreement on any adjustment of or special fees should be reached at the time of the engagement of the consulting engineer or as soon after circumstances warrant such as practically possible, but in all cases prior to the consulting engineer rendering services which may be affected.

Where the normal services relate to more than one of the disciplines of consulting engineering contemplated in clauses 4.2.1 to 4.2.7 namely civil, structural, mechanical, electrical and electronic engineering services, a separate fee for services in each discipline should be calculated in accordance with the relevant clause. Where a consulting engineer is appointed for either or both electronic and electrical services, his payment shall be according to the electrical fee scales based on the combined value of these services.

Where at the instance and with the consent of the client the works are undertaken on separate non-contiguous sites, continuity is interrupted or are unusually fragmented or are constructed as separately documented phases or sections, the fee for normal services is:

The sum of the fees calculated separately for each site, contract, phase or section as if they were separate works; or

A fee agreed to between the client and the consulting engineer and which fee lies between the fee calculated on the total cost of the works and the sum of the fees contemplated in clause 4.1(8)(a) above.

For the calculation of fees, “duplication of works” is defined as the re-use of designs, drawings and details done by a consultant to duplicate a complete unit (e.g. a building or bridge).

The following fees may be claimed after each stage of services or monthly or as agreed between the consulting engineer and the client:

Percentage fees determined on the basis of the cost of the works prevailing at the time of the fee calculation and pro rata to the completed services, or a portion of the total fee based on completion of the stages along the lines indicated in 4.2.8.

Time based fees applicable when the services were rendered.

Disbursements as set out in clause 4.1(3) may be claimed monthly.

(d)	distances for travelling applied for may not be exceeded without prior written approval of the departmental project manager. Remuneration of travelling will be calculated according to actual distances per month at the applicable rate of the time of travel.

(4)	For all other costs, as set out in clause 4.5, the actual expenses incurred.

(5)	For duties under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, 1993 (Act No.85 of 1993), as contemplated in clause 3.3.3, the consulting engineer shall, if so appointed by the client, be remunerated on a time and cost basis as agreed with the client.

(6)	For assuming the leadership of a joint venture, a consortium or team of consulting engineers, as contemplated in clause 3.3.5, the fee for the lead consulting engineer shall be ten percentage points (10%), which is not an additional fee but is that portion of the fee for services rendered by the team, which shall be allocated to the lead consulting engineer. The apportionment of the fee to services is as stated in clause 4.2.8(1).

(7)	For services as principal agent of the client, as contemplated in clause 3.3.6, the consulting engineer is entitled to an additional fee calculated at one percentage point (1%) of the total cost of the works comprising the project. The consulting engineer is not entitled to any fees for principal agent if he is not explicitly appointed as such.

4.4	Time Based Fees

(1)	(a)	Time based fees are all-inclusive fees, including allowances for overhead charges incurred by the consulting engineer as part of normal business operations, including the cost of management, as well as payments to administrative, clerical and secretarial staff used to support professional and technical staff in general and not on a specific project only.

(b)	Time based fees are calculated by multiplying the hourly rate contemplated in clause 4.4(3), which is applicable to the consulting engineer for professional and any other technical staff employed by the consulting engineer, with the actual time spent by such staff in rendering the services required by the client.

(c)	Professional and technical staff include all staff performing work directly related to the execution of the services the consulting engineer is engaged for by the client and excludes all administrative, clerical and secretarial staff used to support professional and technical staff in general and not on a specific project only, but includes the typing of letters, minutes, reports and documents for projects.

(2)	To determine the time based fee rates the professional and technical staff concerned is divided into:-

(a)	Category A, in respect of a private consulting practice in engineering, shall mean a top practitioner whose expertise and relevant experience is nationally or internationally recognized and who provides advice at a level of specialization where such advice is recognized as that of an expert.

(b)	Category B, in respect of a private consulting practice in engineering, shall mean a partner, a sole proprietor, a director, or a member who, jointly or severally with other partners, co-directors or co-members, bears the risks of the business or takes full responsibility for the projects and related liabilities of such practice and where his/her level of expertise and relevant experience is commensurate with the position performs work of a conceptual nature in engineering design and development, provides strategic guidance in planning and executing a project and/or carries responsibility for quality management pertaining to a project.

(c)	Category C, in respect of a private consulting practice in engineering, shall mean all salaried professional staff with adequate expertise and relevant experience performing work of an engineering nature and who carry the direct technical responsibility for one or more specific activities related to a project. A person referred to in Category B may also fall in this category if such person performs work of an engineering nature at this level.

(d)	Category D, in respect of a private consulting practice in engineering, shall mean all other salaried technical staff with adequate expertise and relevant experience performing work of an engineering nature with direction and control provided by any person contemplated in categories A, B or C.

(3)	The scale of fees on a time basis, on which Value Added Tax is excluded, shall be at the following rates per hour, rounded off to the nearest rand:

(a)	for a person in category A and B: 18.75 cents for each R100 of the total annual remuneration package (lowest notch) attached to a Director’s grading (level 13) in the Public Service;

(b)	for a person in category C: 17,5 cents for each R100 of the total annual remuneration package (lowest notch) attached to a Deputy Director’s grading (level 12) in the Public Service;

(c)	for a person in category D: 16,5 cents for each R100 of his/her total annual cost of employment; provided that this hourly rate shall not exceed 16,5 cents for each R100 of the total annual remuneration package (lowest notch) attached to an Assistant Director’s grading (level 11) in the Public Service.

Hourly rates calculated in terms of (a), (b) and (c) above shall be deemed to include overheads and charges in respect of time expended by clerical personnel, which shall, therefore, not be chargeable separately.

Unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing, remuneration for the time expended by Category B persons in terms of (a) above on a project shall be limited to 5 per cent of the total time expended on the project. Any time expended by principals in excess of the 5 per cent limit shall be remunerated at the rates determined in (b) or (c) above.

Notwithstanding the above, where work is of such a nature that personnel as described in paragraph (c) above are capable of performing such work, it shall be remunerated at that level and not at the rates described in paragraphs (a) and (b) above, irrespective of who in fact executed the work.

The salaries referred to in (a) to (c) above can change from time to time, which will, therefore, change the rates applicable. These rates will, however, only be adjusted on the first day of each calendar year irrespective of any changes in salary ranges during the relevant year. The rate as set out in Table 8 of the "Rates for Reimbursable Expenses", as amended from time to time may be used as bases for relevant claims.

(4)	For the purposes of clause 4.4(3)(c), the total annual cost of employment (gross annual remuneration) of a person contemplated in clause 4.4(2) means the total amount borne by an employer in respect of the employment of such a person per year, calculated at the amounts applicable to such a person at the time of appointment of the person.
