2nd FEBRUARY 2010

On 2nd FEBRUARY 2010 John Cook and I met with Nigel and Andrew Slevin to review the cost of the earthworks for the new church site as defined by the site plan prepared by Angela Plekker and a schedule of Bulk Earthworks prepared by Mike Slabbert of Slabbert Associates dated 18 January 2010.

I confirmed that my policy was, wherever possible, to use local people and indeed members of the church when awarding contracts for the project. As such Nigel was considered a preferred bidder. It was also noted that we were out-to-tender on the Phase One of the development and that any appointment would be subject to final approval to proceed from the Diocese and the Ballito Municipality etc. together with the necessary funds being raised.

After discussion on the various rates for the earthworks Nigel and Andrew were requested to submit the priced schedule and a written motivation that would summarise their concerns re in-situ material and achieving the designated compaction figures required by the civil engineer.
