TENDER NO. SALE IN FREEHOLD BY PUBLIC TENDER

OFPROPOSED PORTION OF ERF 12380 DURBAN (BEING A PORTION OF ICC SITE)

OR PROPOSED PORTION OF ERF 11727 DURBAN (BEING A PORTION OF THE DEC SITE)

1. GENERAL

The Council’s June 2004 Hotel Study showed that the City would need to bring on-stream a further 600hotel beds in 3 years and 2 600 hotel beds in 5 years to meet the projected 5% growth in demand overthese periods (ie. Approximately 4 and 9 hotels respectively).

This Study identified a number of Council-owned sites for hotel development and it is accordinglyproposed that the Council release 3 (three) specific opportunities in the short term, including anopportunity on the ICC/DEC Campus. (This having been recorded as one of top 20 locations for a hoteldevelopment serving the MICE (meetings, incentives, conventions & exhibitions) and business markets.)

Both the ICC and Exhibition Centre Sites form part of the Council’s strategic land holdings and theirdevelopment and use are vital to the City if it is to retain its market share and status as Africa’spreferred conference venue. However, both Centres (on 5,8ha and 4,7ha respectively) are capable ofconsiderable further development when assessed in terms of the ICC’s Special Zone 57 and surroundingGeneral Business

(Central Area) Planning Regulations.It is accordingly proposed to rezone the Exhibition Centre Site to accord with the current ICC zoningand dispose of up to 20 000m2 of this ‘spare’ capacity (or permissible floor area) for the purpose of a220 bed tourist/deluxe (3/4 star) hotel development.The tender (and upset price) to be based on an initial 15 000m2 of Development Bulk, with theremaining 5 000m2 being available to the successful purchaser on a pro rata basis. (This will allow for alevel of flexibility in the hotel design and development.)Development Bulk is defined in terms of clause 23(7) of the Town Planning Scheme Regulations.

Tenders on two separate opportunities located on the ICC and DEC properties, details of which areprovided in the Guidelines forming Annexures A and B to this instruction will be considered.

Only one tender will however be accepted.

The location of the hotel on the Exhibition Centre site, which ‘activates’ the east-west pedestrian link ispreferred and offers on this site be weighted by a factor of 1,25. (ie. An offer of 8 units on this sitewould be equivalent to an offer of 10 units on the ICC Site.)Development rights, including access to the existing ICC parkade and possible linkages across WalnutRoad (in respect of the Exhibition Centre location) will then be sold/granted, following the detaileddesign of the hotel.

bb/icc hotel ver2

It is recorded that the Durban Infrastructure Development Trust hold a lease over the land occupied bythe ICC/DEC and the disposal of the aforementioned rights will require an amendment to the LeaseAgreement.Given the high levels of physical and operational integration of the hotel development with the ICC/DECparties who intend submitting a tender on either of these two opportunities are required to attend acompulsory briefing session to be held in the 3rd week of the Tender Period. (This will also provideprospective tenderers with the opportunity to clarify technical, operational and planning issues.)

The Guidelines for Hotel Proposals forming Annexures A and B provide an overview only andprospective tenderers must familiarize themselves with the detail of design issues which will be faced inintegrating a hotel and/or underground/overhead linkages with the existing ICC structure. Accordingly,a ‘package’ of detailed drawings relating to the ICC development will be made available to prospectivetenderers at a cost of R 500,00.

The ICC/DEC Development Package is obtainable, giving two (2) days notice, from the Municipality’sArchitectural Department, off Old Fort Road. Contact: Mr Ken Froise – Tel.: 311 7133.

The Tender Form should specifically provide for tenderers to acknowledge that they have had sight ofand understand the design issues outlined in 5. and 6. above.The successful tenderer will be required to develop detailed (sketch) plans in consultation with theCouncil’s Design Team demonstrating the levels of integration, prior to transfer being effected.(Consideration should also be given at that time for the conclusion of a Co-operation agreement.)

Such plans must be approved by the Head : Strategic Projects within 3 months of the award of thetender and the subsequent development is to be substantially in accordance with the approved sketchplans.

The Exhibition Centre is currently reserved for Government and Municipal purposes and the Council is toundertake the rezoning of the site to Special Zone 57, as currently applies to the ICC Site.

The Council’s interests are to be safeguarded in the event of the rezoning not being successful.

The existing improvements located on the DEC Site are listed in terms of the Town Planning Schemeand the development will accordingly need to respond to this, as detailed in the Guidelines. Theimprovements are also over 60 years old and AMAFA consent will accordingly also be necessary in theevent of proposals which impact on these buildings.

The definition, registration and transfer of the necessary land rights will proceed immediately followingthe approval of the detailed sketch plans referred to in paragraph 8 above.Traffic/parking: A traffic impact study is to be undertaken and the full parking requirements are to beprovided/secured by the development. In this regard there is spare capacity within the ICC Parkade andit is accordingly envisaged that the Purchaser will conclude a ‘Parking Agreement’ with regard to theshared use of these facilities. Such agreement will then need to form part of the plan submissionreferred to in 8. above.

The existing Municipal services network has adequate capacity to accommodate the development of thetwo sites and they are accordingly fully serviced.

2. GEOTECHNICAL OVERVIEW:The Inner City area is underlain by silty fine sand with sandy clay layers being part of the estuarinesediments of the Harbour Beds. With increasing depth the sands become medium to coarse in layers,containing small but variable quantities of silt and clay.The thicknesses of individual sand beds vary over short distances, lensing out to become more clayey orsilty. The sands vary from loose to very dense, depending on depth, particle size distribution and grainangularity. The Harbour Beds range from about 15 m depth at Warwick Avenue to about 40 m alongthe Beachfront, being underlain by silt or siltstone of the St. Lucia Formation. Thick layers of mixedgranular fill with rubble, deposited over the original estuarine sands and black peaty clays, covers muchof the Warwick Avenue and Hoy Park areas. These were the historical “Western Vlei” and Eastern Vlei”respectively.In wet seasons most of Central Durban is underlain by at least two groundwater tables, the upper onebeing perched in the rubble and fill on lower permeability, clayey sands. This watertable tends todissipate during dry periods, whereas the deeper water level lies permanently some metres belowground. Excavations below this water level collapse rapidly, due to strong seepage inflow. Theseconditions are worst in the two old vlei areas and present a major constraint to development belowground level. Basement construction below the water table requires full dewatering with temporarylateral support by sheet piling and is an expensive operation, although commonly done. Some boreholeinformation is available on Corporate GIS, but detailed geotechnical investigations need to be carriedout for each site prior to design and construction. Most high-rise structures need to be founded on piles,but normal foundations are commonly used in most areas for single or double-story buildings.

3. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS

In accordance with the policies of the eThekwini Municipality as the landowner, the Land is beingoffered for sale by way of a public tender calling for the submission of tenders at or above the upsetprices.The award of this tender is suspensive on the eThekwini Municipality approving the details of theproposed development of the site within four months of being requested to do so by the eThekwiniMunicipality. The date of sale shall be determined as the date upon which the eThekwini Municipalitynotifies the successful tenderer of the approval of the development proposal.

4. CLARIFICATION DURING THE TENDER PERIOD

A compulsory briefing session will be held for interested parties during the third week of the tenderbeing open

ADJUDICATION OF TENDERS ON A POINTS SYSTEM

The following shall be the system of Adjudicating tenders on a preference point allocation system.

Examination of Tenders and Determination of Responsiveness

Prior to the detailed evaluation of tenders, the Employer/Municipality shall determine whether eachtender:

meets the requirements of these Conditions of Tender; has been properly signed; is responsive to the requirements of the procurement documents; provides any clarification and/or substantiation that the Employer/Municipality may require; complies with the tender submission requirements in all other respects.

A responsive tender is one which conforms to all the terms, conditions and Specifications of the tenderwithout material deviation or qualification. A material deviation or qualification is one which, in theMunicipality's opinion:

changes the Municipality's or the Tenderer’s risks and responsibilities under the Contract; or would affect the competitive position of other Tenderers presenting responsive tenders, if it were to berectified.

If the tender does not meet the requirements or is not responsive, it will be rejected by the Municipality,and may not subsequently be made acceptable to the Municipality by correction or withdrawal of thenon-conforming deviation or reservation.

Adjudication Using a Points System

Responsive tenders will be adjudicated by the Municipality using a system which awards points on thebasis of :

the tendered price (Np) the status of the person/enterprise in terms of ownership. (No)

The Municipality will normally award the Contract to the Tenderer obtaining the highestnumber of points, but will not bind itself to do so.

The preference points in the adjudication methods used for tenders for acquisition of Land, shall be :

For tenders with a Rand value below (<) R500 000 a maximum of 20 points may be allocated forspecific goals provided that the highest acceptable tender scores 80 points for price.

For contracts with a Rand value above (>) R500 000 a maximum of 10 points may be allocatedfor specific goals provided that the highest acceptable tender scores 90 points for price.

, for values above R500 000.

Points Awarded in respect of the Status of the Person/Enterprise (No)

A maximum of 20 (twenty) points in respect of tender values (upset price) less than R500 000, and 10(ten) points in respect of tender values (upset price) more than R500 000 may be awarded to

7. Code of Conduct for Supply Chain Management Practitioners and Other RolePlayers

1. INTRODUCTION

Section 217.(1) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa reads asfollows:

“When an organ of state in the national, provincial or local sphere of governments, or anyother institution identified in national legislation, contracts for goods or services, it must doso in accordance with a system which is fair, equitable, transparent, competitive and cost-effective”.

It goes without saying that, in addition to the foregoing requirements, it is essential that theprocurement of goods and services, including engineering and construction works as well asdisposals of assets, by eThekwini Municipality should not be affected, or tainted, by illegalaction, or default, at any stage of the process, by any party involved.

The foregoing serves to establish the broad framework within which an action, or default, byany party to the procurement process should be judged. Any action, or default, whichconflicts with the objectives of section 217.(1) of the Constitution, or which is illegal, isunacceptable.

A party to the procurement process, who wittingly, commits an unacceptable action, ordefault, renders itself liable to the appropriate sanction, or even, in the case of an illegalaction, or default, to prosecution.

This document contains general principles to be followed and examples ofactions, or defaults, by parties to the public procurement process, which areunacceptable. The lists of examples are, however, not exhaustive and each

party must, itself, assess whether an action, or default, would beunacceptable in the light of section 217.(1) of the Constitution, or be illegal.

In addition, Municipal Supply Chain Management Regulation 46(4) statesthat the Supply Chain Management Policy of a municipality has to take into

account the National Treasury’s code of conduct for supply chainmanagement practitioners and other role players. Alternatively a municipalitymay adopt the National Treasury code of conduct. When adopted, this codeof conduct becomes binding on all officials and other role players involved in
