  9. Expenditure

  10. B: Key Challenges RBIG • (Kopanong) Jagersfontein/Fauresmith Regional Bulk Scheme: Water Treatment Works Engineer for the Water Treatment Works and Reservoir seconded not well experienced R.E hence delay of project and detail drawings, • Guidance to the contractor is poor, • R.E not on site always so contractors mistakes get realised late, • No proper site instructions, • Contractor struggling to receive construction details. • Documentation on old projects is a challenge. Reservior • Contractor has no enough knowledge to construct reservoir, • Contractor spend a lot on plant that they did not need, affecting their cashflownegetivly • Site agent no enough practical experience and ignores instructions from R.E

  11. B: Key Challenges RBIG • (Moqhaka) Steynsrus Regional Bulk Scheme: • Changing over from MSW Consulting to Rand Water delayed project by six months, • WSA and Rand Water communication challenges i.e. WSA not in favour of waterboard, • Rand Water has no consistent personnel seconded to the project, this makes project steering committee uneasy, • Expenditure is slow on the project, (Mohokare) Rouxville Bulk Water Scheme • The area has bucket system that could be a quick win if the bulk project can get additional R60 million to procure pipes, • Contractor had cashflow problems and has delayed the project by 8 months, • Safety on site is very poor even after pointing it out in meetings, this matter continues to be ignored. (An accident on site could shut down the project)

  12. B: Key Challenges RBIG • General: • Test results files not available in some instances, • Over pricing of tenders especially for construction of pipes, • Contractors communicating directly with municipal officials , ignoring instructions of the R.E, • Poor invoice administration from municipality side, • WSA’s using MIG funds to pay for RBIG resulting in expenditure delays, • Boreholes schemes as an option against • IA fees – no bench mark(Water Boards) • Non of our WSA are willing to co-funding • Procurement– specifically on new projects(ACIP/RBIG)---commitments • ESKOM– electricity (Masilonyana LM)

  13. B: Key Challenges ACIP • Letsemeng WC/DM and Jacobsdal raw water pipe line: Sedibeng Water only appointed contractors around 20 October 2013 hence no expenditure to date on these project hence re allocation of R2 million to Kroonstad to ensure that all funds are spent by end of FY. • Clocolan WWTW: The scope of work had to be revised following the advice from the appointed consultant hence the late commencement of the project (October 2013) • Morojaneng sewer pump station: Non availability of land for project implementation and negotiations taking too long hence re allocation of all the funds to other projects for expenditure purposes. MWIG Delay on appointments No reporting, WSA lack of support from Waterboards

  14. C: Project to be “Fast Track”

  15. D: Projects to be Launched

  16. Way forward • Appointed two sub-contractors to avoid further delays • Made inputs to the WSA to have an experienced RE on site • Problematic projects- weekly site meetings are scheduled • Involvement of Regional Head and Premier's coordinating forum to resolve administrative and political challenges
