The City of Cape Town has selected a preferred bidder for the construction of the 68 000 seater multi-purpose stadium in Green Point. This means that talks can now continue, but the tender has not yet been awarded.
Murray & Roberts and WBHO (Pty) Ltd, have been deemed the cheapest. In a joint venture the bidders adjusted for tender qualifications and without VAT, came in at R2 746 665.
However, the overall cost value projected by Fifa with contingencies and requirements stands at an estimated R3, 73 billion.
Mike Marsden, head of the 2010 team has been instructed to start negotiations with the consortium by the city’s bid adjudication committee.
When the negotiation process has been completed, a further report will be submitted by the city’s 2010 team to the committee with a view to awarding the tender.
The working timeline for the construction of the stadium begins in March 2007, to meet the March 2009 deadline.
