C2 Pricing Data
C2.1 Pricing assumptions

The Price List is in two parts. Part 1 is for work described in the Service Information not requiring the
Employer to issue a Task Order. Part 2 is for work to be carried out within a stated period of time on a task
by Task basis and instructed by Task Order. The service may comprise work under Part 1 only or Part 2
only or a mix of both.

Entries in the first four columns of Part 1 of the Price List are made either by the Employer or the tenderer.
Entries in the first four columns of Part 2 of the Price List would normally be made by the Employer as the
Party most likely to know the kind of work which will be instructed by the issue of Task Orders. The tenderer
then enters a rate for each item and multiplies it by the Expected quantity to produce the Price to be entered
in the final column.

If the Contractor is to be paid an amount for the item which is not adjusted if the quantity of work in the item
changes, the tenderer enters the amount in the Price column only, the Unit, Expected quantity and Rate
columns being left blank.

If the Contractor is to be paid an amount for the item of work which is the rate for the work multiplied by the
quantity completed, the tenderer enters a rate for each item and multiplies it by the Expected quantity to
produce the Price, to be entered in the final column.

If the Contractor is to be paid a Price for an item proportional to the length of time for which a service is
provided, a unit of time is stated in the Unit column and the expected length of time (as a quantity of the
stated units of time) is stated in the Expected quantity column.

The rates and Prices entered for each item includes for all work and other things necessary to complete the
item.

C3: Scope of Work


C3.1. Service Information

C3.1.1. Description of the service

Background
The Ingula Pumped Storage Scheme (IPSS) plant, situated north-east of Van Reenen’s Pass, consists of 4
units with a generating capacity of 333MW per unit. The plant is part of a water transfer scheme consisting of
an upper and lower dam connected by underground waterways to reversible pump turbines, generating
electricity for supply into the national grid during peak and emergency situations. It was commissioned in
December 2016.

A schematic layout of the steel lined waterways is shown in Figure 1 below. The steel lined low pressure
headrace (LH12 and LH34) starts downstream of the upper dam with a transition reducer (LH12-ST and
LH34- ST) with 6.1 to 5.1m inner diameters. The upper headrace surge riser (SR) is installed in the LH with a
T-piece referred to as the surge riser junction (LH12-RJ and LH34-RJ). Downstream of the SR is where the
high pressure head race (HH12 and HH34) starts. The HH terminates at the bifurcation (BF). Section HH12-
S01 (and HH34-S01) is a section of the HH immediately upstream of the BF which is not encased in
concrete. From the bifurcations the four high pressure penstocks (PU1, PU2, PU3 and PU4) extends up to
the main isolation valve (MIV) at each respective turbine.
The full supply level (FSL), minimum operating level (MOL) and extreme operating level (EOL) of the upper
dam are 1738.6, 1720 and 1740.6 meters above sea level (masl) respectively. The maximum surge level for
transient events in the surge riser was set at 1768masl.
Elevation and chainage length (from the LH reducer) for pertinent points along the waterways is listed in
Table 2 below.

Note that the MIV and spiral casing is positioned downstream of the penstock section PU01.
