Tenders are invited for Design, Supply, Delivery and Installation/ Fitment of Aluminium Doors, Clip 44 Unites and Panels at the Revenue Offices 45 Baring Street The scope of works includes, but not limited to, the following: a) Design Phase i. Consultation and Requirements Definition: Meeting with the client/architect to understand their needs, preferences, and project specifications (e.g., style, colour, performance requirements like energy efficiency, sound insulation, and security). ii. Site Survey and Initial Measurement: Conducting a thorough site assessment to verify the dimensions of each structural opening and assess existing conditions. iii. Design Development: Interpreting all requirements into a detailed design concept, considering structural capabilities. iv. Shop Drawings and Submittals: Preparing and submitting detailed shop drawings, which include all framing, fastening, anchoring systems, and glass specifications, to the main contractor/consultant for verification and approval. v. Compliance and Standards: Ensuring all designs comply with relevant national and industry standards (e.g., SANS, AAMA, SAGGA, local building codes) and securing necessary certifications/approvals. Supply Phase i. Material Procurement: Sourcing high-quality, brand-new raw materials, including aluminium profiles (e.g., 6063-T5 alloy), glass panels (e.g., double-glazed, laminated safety glass, shatter-resistant film), hardware (handles, locks, hinges, weather stripping), and sealants. ii. Fabrication: Cutting aluminium profiles to precise, verified dimensions using specialized machinery, performing necessary machining (cutouts, drill holes), and assembling frames and sashes in a factory setting. iii. Surface Treatment: Applying protective and aesthetic finishes, such as powder coating or anodizing, to enhance durability and meet appearance specifications. iv. Glazing (Factory/Site): Fitting the glass panels into the manufactured frames using gaskets and sealants, either in the factory or on-site, depending on project logistics. v. Quality Control: Performing rigorous inspections to ensure all manufactured units meet the approved design specifications and quality standards before delivery. vi. Delivery and Storage: Transporting the finished products to the site, ensuring they are properly protected from damage, and storing them in a clean, dry place. c) Installation/Fitment Phase i. Site Preparation: Removing any existing windows/doors and clearing the openings of debris to ensure a clean, smooth, and unobstructed area for installation. ii. Positioning and Securing: Carefully positioning the new frames into the prepared openings, using shims and spirit levels to ensure they are plumb, square, and level. iii. Fixing: Fastening the frames securely to the structure using appropriate brackets, screws, or anchors, as detailed in the approved shop drawings. iv. Weatherproofing and Sealing: Applying high-quality sealants or caulk around the perimeter of the frames to ensure weather tightness and energy efficiency. v. Hardware Installation and Adjustment: Installing remaining hardware (if not pre-installed) and adjusting all sashes, locks, and mechanisms to ensure smooth and correct operation. vi. Finishing Work: Carrying out any minor remedial work to adjacent walls (e.g., plastering, touch-up painting) disturbed during the removal or installation process. vii. Final Inspection and Handover: Conducting a final inspection with the client or main contractor to ensure satisfaction, providing operation and maintenance manuals, and removing all project-related waste/debris from the site.
