Reply:
1.(a) (i) The previous consultants forming part of the N2 Wild Coast Consortium comprised of Hawkins Hawkins Osborn, Stewart Scott International and Sauders and Wium. They were involved with the original N2 Wild Coast Toll Road PPP concept design and proposal. This was in the late nineties.
(ii) The 112km greenfield section of the N2 Wild Coast toll road has subsequently been divided into 9 packages for detailed design and construction. As with the Mtentu and Msikaba bridges, the consultant’s appointments for these packages were procured through an open tender process. The outcome of this process resulted in appointment of the consulting firms as per the table below. As can be seen, the two big bridges were awarded in 2003 while the rest were awarded from 2 years ago.
(b) Please see the award values in Table 1 below.
(c) Please see appointment date in Table 1 below.
