SCHEDULE 7: SCHOOL INFRASTRUCTURE BACKLOGS GRANT • The purpose of the grant is • for the eradication of entire inappropriate schools; • provision of basic level of water, sanitation and electricity to schools. • The grant is also referred to as the ASIDI (Accelerated School Infrastructure Delivery Initiative)

  5. ASIDI 2011/12 FINANCIAL BUDGET SPLIT • In 2011/12 financial year the budget split was as follows • R420mil was allocated towards the eradication of 50 entire mud schools; • R280mil was allocated towards provision of water, sanitation and electricity to schools

  6. ASIDI 2011/12 TARGETS The following work was implemented during the 2011/12 financial year:

  7. ASIDI IMPLEMENTING AGENTS 2011/12 • DBSA is the appointed Implementing Agent for the 50 inappropriate schools in the Eastern Cape • However only 49 schools are being implemented, 1 school is being implemented by EC DoE and has therefore been removed from the ASIDI programme, • Mvula Trust is appointed to implement water and sanitation projects in Limpopo and Eastern Cape • Eskom is the appointed Implementing Agent for electrification of schools in Eastern Cape, Mpumalanga and Limpopo Provinces. • Free State, Gauteng, KZN and Western Cape were the Implementing Agents in 2011/12 financial year.

  8. ASIDI ACTUAL FINANCIAL COMMITTMENTS 2011/12 • The actual commitments made in 2011/12 financial year • R841mil was committed towards the eradication of school infrastructure (including professional fees, etc.); • R217.3mil was committed towards provision of water, sanitation and electricity to schools • Therefore approximately R1.058bil was committed in contracts for the ASIDI implementation during the 2011/12 financial year.

  9. 2011/12 EXPENDITURE

  10. TOTAL EXPENDITURE AT 31 MARCH 2012

  11. TOTAL EXPENDITURE AS AT 23 MAY 2012

  12. ASIDI CHALLENGES IN 2011/12 • Progress has been delayed on the construction of the 49 schools due to the following challenges: • Procurement of Implementing Agents took longer than anticipated. • Negotiations with DBSA started in April 2011. • There were delays in the finalisation of the MOA with the DBSA as the bank had to receive approval from the Minister of Finance before the MOA could be concluded. • Subsequently, DBE signed the MOA on the 13th June 2011 and DBSA only signed on the 06th July 2011. The DBSA submitted the implementation Plan on 03 August 2011 • DBSA planned to use PSPs to undertake scoping work which was crucial for determining the extent of scope of work. • This process for procurement of PSP to undertake the work had to be rescinded end of August after issues of conflict of interest were discovered between the companies bidding for the PSU and Project scoping.

  13. ASIDI CHALLENGES IN 2011/12 • DBSA then started another process to appoint PSP’s for scoping, planning and detailed designs which was concluded on 15 September 2011 and resulted in a delay in the finalisation of scope before going out on tender in October 2011. • A strategy adopted for procurement of contractors was to pre-Qualify contractors initially and appoint from a pool of pre-qualified contractors. • The process halted due to a dispute by contractors from the Eastern Cape who requested consideration of Grade 6GB instead of Grade 7GB. • Procurement of contractors resumed on the 25th October 2011 and was concluded on the 04th and 29th November for 28 of 50 schools and 22 of 50 schools respectively. • Tenders received were based on the generic scope of work due to the delay in the development of project scoping per school. • As a result the tendered amounts for the first 28 of 50 and 22 of 50 schools were R711 044 966.48 andR595 167 614.37 respectively. This resulted in a prolonged adjudication process and appointment of successful tenderers. • Sites were handed over to the contractors on the 12th and 13th January 2012 for a contraction amount of approximately R675mil (excluding professional fees, etc).

  20. ASIDI 2011/12 PROGRESS ANALYSIS: INAPPROPRIATE SCHOOLS • The programme is behind schedule on all of the schools • Contractors are behind schedule by between 16 and 77 days based on their baseline programmes • Progress at 16 of the schools is between 0.6% and 10% • Progress at 24 of the schools is between 10.1% and 20% • Progress at 6 of the schools is between 20.1% and 30% • Progress at 3 of the schools is over 30% • Notices have been issued to contractors and recovery plans produced for the 3 contractors (SSI Mafuri JV, TBP and Armstrong). • DBSA is monitoring implementation of the plans and shall advice on subsequent steps thereafter. • DBSA has begun the process to terminate Inyameko Vukukhanye contract • Availability of skilled labourers has proven to be a challenge. • The programme is successfully contributing towards socio-economic uplifting of the locals as many jobs are being created. • Availability of material suppliers has been identified as a risk factor .

  21. ASIDI 2011/12 WATER AND SANITATION SCHOOLS PROGRESS : MVULA TRUST PROGRESS IN LIMPOPO • Thirty-two (32) of the 40 sanitation projects have achieved practical completion. • Thirty-two (32) of the 38 water projects have been completed.

  23. ASIDI 2011/12 WATER AND SANITATION SCHOOLS PROGRESS : KZN • KZN is the Implementing Agent. There were 88 schools identified in this Programme, after assessments 5 schools were taken out after it was found that they were already addressed. • Out the 83 2011/2012 projects 28 schools have been completed, 17 projects are in progress and are between 60 and 90%. • There are 38 projects that were handed over in March and April 2012, and are between 1% and 20%

  28. ASIDI 2011/12 PROGRESS ANALYSIS: WATER AND SANITATION • Most of the projects were completed by end of Q4. • Delays in Limpopo were mainly due to work stoppage due to non payment which was as a result of scope change process. • Payments have been processed and anticipated completion date is end May • Delays in EC were generally due to a delayed manufacturing of some of the materials (e.g. Urinals) • Only one supplier is manufacturing the specified quality and therefore had to provide large quantities of orders. • EC MT started late with the process of investigations into alternative water source other than rain water harvesting.

  29. ASIDI 2011/12 ELECTRIFICATION OF SCHOOLS PROGRESS : ESKOM

  30. ASIDI 2011/12 PROGRESS ANALYSIS: ELECTRIFICATION • This sub-programme is behind schedule and ESKOM is planning to complete the 125 schools by September 2012. • Main reason sited to this is the late conclusion of the MOA and Advance payments The following risks have been identified in the Eastern Cape: • Bush Clearing Teams - There is a shortage of registered bush clearing teams within Eskom in the Eastern Cape Province. • Indigenous Forest   -Survey to Gwexintaba SPS (500284) is hampered by the indigenous forest. A line through the forest would mean cutting down of trees and would also cause a concern in maintenance of the line.
