INVITATION FOR QUOTATION TO UNDERTAKE AN INDEPENDENT ROAD SAFETY AUDIT

 CLOSING DATE (AT 11:00):     23 JANUARY 2026

 SMEC SOUTH AFRICA (PTY) LTD were appointed by the South African National Roads Agency SOC Ltd (SANRAL) for the provision of CONSULTING ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR THE UPGRADE ON NATIONAL ROAD R521 SECTION 1 FROM POLOKWANE (KM 0) TO STRYDOMSLOOP (KM 29.9) The first four kilometres project falls within the Polokwane Local Municipality’s jurisdiction and thus excluded from the scope of this project.  The National Road Reserve declaration starts at km 4.0.

 The Upgrade of National Road R521 Section 1 starts in the Polokwane CBD at the Hospital Street intersection with R101 and continues north towards Dendron for 29.9 km. The road passes through the industrial and commercial areas to the north of Polokwane, through 16 km of rural farmland and 10 km of rural villages.  For all practical purposes, the urban section of the route is ending at km 5.0. A Road Safety Audit is therefore required to support the preliminary and detailed design of National Road R521 Section 1 from km 4.0 to km 29.9.

 Firms with road safety and traffic engineering experience are therefore invited to submit a quote to undertake an independent Road Safety Audit. A clarification meeting will not be held, but it is essential that prospective tenderers familiarise themselves with the site.
