c) Projects at Technical Evaluation
 Dangote Project: Project Contracts/documents are being finalised. Validation and Evaluation
of contractors offers has been finalised awaiting management approvals
 Workshop Cropping Machine; The first enquires received a poor response. The second was
successful. Technical Evaluations are ongoing up to 7th August
 Frontier Tap Changer Replacement; A review of the work scope is ongoing. The supplier has
been invited for site data confirmation. CEC’s proposed scope of works was considered
4
inadequate by the suppliers who proposed changing the whole tap changers as opposed to
CEC’s scope of changing only the drive shafts
 Maposa Server Room (Disaster Recovery Site); Technical adjudication was due in March. The
team has been advised to immediately complete this process before the budgeting process
commences
 Vehicle Tracking System; The team has proposed to undertake some trials using open source
software and off the shelf trackers, this with the aim of coming up with an inhouse vehicle
tracking system. What was obtaining on the market was systems that come with some sort of
continuous subscriptions, the feature the team do not want
d) Projects at Tender Adjudication
 Upgrade of Transformer Protection to Include AVRs; The scope of works has been
reduced to fit the amounts that are obtainable on the market. A Variation Order has been
raised. Once approved, the project needs to be taken back to the Tender Committee for
Adjudication
 Strategic Spares for Substations & Lines; The project must be re-adjudicated to address
issues that were raised by CEC management concerning the earlier award
 Transmission Line Surge Arrestors; a decision has now been made to consider procuring
conventional Surge Arrestors. CEC had earlier started working with a supplier to design
tailor made Arrestors. This had led to putting off the process of conventional arrestors
 IT Network Extension; the process delayed at Specifications Stage. There were
manufacturing and supply issues with a Switch that CEC required. The process only
progressed after the issue was resolved
 Business Process Automation; the process was affected by the departure of two key staff
from the department. As a result, the project is four months off the plan
Two projects have so far been cancelled
- Wide Area Monitoring Systems; the budget was far much less than what the suppliers bid
- Chisenga Substation 11kV Breakers Retrofit; the breakers were retrofitted by NFCA,
CEC’s customer
Status details of the 2018 projects are included in Section 2, where they are arranged per department
1.4.
2018 Projects likely to Roll Over
The following projects have been identified as candidates for rollovers
-
Dangote Project: Implementation Contracts are yet to be finalised for this project
BECOS 32 Replacement: The contract is being prepared by CEC. The supplier has indicated
that the project will be completed in 2019
5
-
-
Transmission Line Surge Arresters: The project is at Tender Adjudication Stage. If a
consideration of time to be taken in designing and installation of surge arresters, the project
will roll over into 2019.
Upgrade Transformers Protection Panels to Include AVR (at Kankoyo): The award has
not yet been made for this project. The lead time is 4 months. The time required to install
these units is also 4 months.
The full extent to which the projects will roll over (both monetary and implementation) is yet to be
established. During the meetings with the departments in July-August, all the teams have been
requested to revise their plans, working together with procurement so that all projects with the
potential to roll over are identified and remedial plans devised to minimise the quantum of rollovers
1.5.
Action Items for the Month of August
The main action item for August is the updating of implementation plans. The CAPEX Team will
work with the implementing departments and supply chain department to ensure that the plans
address the following
a) Rollovers are completed to avoid rolling them over
b) Potential rollovers from the 2018 projects are identified and remedial actions formulated to
prevent them from rolling over and/or minimise the amounts rolling over

Two out of three Walls have been completed so far. Outages on the Transformers continue to remain
the main challenge on this project. Works on the third wall were planned for completion in July but
this could not be realised. Plans are currently underway for the August completion (outage
permitting). The first project completion was scheduled for December last year.
Works related to the Golf Course, Gym, Swimming Pool and Landscaping have been completed. The
shell for the shower and change rooms has been completed. Outstanding are the internal touch-ups
and plumbing works. All these outstanding works are planned for August completion. Considering the
original scope of works, this project has been completed save for the additional Shower and Change
Rooms. If approved by management, the change rooms shall be transferred to a new project, yet to be
approved. The project was scheduled for completion in December 2017 but will now close in August

engaged vendors on prices with respect to the reduction in scope and corresponding Variation
Order has been raised. Once the Variation is approved, the project will need to be resubmitted to
the Tender Committee for Award. Delivery period for the equipment from date of order is 4
Months. Project is likely to rollover into 2019

been approved. Procurement process of retractable Circuit Breakers is in progress. The transferring
of circuits onto the new board is currently in progress and shall be completed in August
7 poles have been delivered. 2 were supposed to be installed in November and the remaining 5 kept
as strategic spares. Challenges with the work schedule and equipment availability (due to defects and
maintenance works on the system) have hampered progress on this project. Weather constraints
equally contributed to the delay. Project completion target date has been Qtr. 2. However, the
unavailability of the 70 Ton crane has negatively affected the project. The 2 poles (One on BancroftLuano #2 and the other on Maposa-Ndola Ref. #1) shall be installed in August.

The Ground Fault Locator has been ordered whilst the order for the 66kV Cable Fault
Locator has been cancelled as CEC already has enough of this type of instrument. Plans are
underway to raise a Variation Order to order another instrument in the place of the Cable
Fault Locator
Delivery is expected in September and installation to follow in October
Tender has been awarded. Variation has been approved. Order and Contract preparation is
still in progress.
CEC has invited the supplier to come and design a solution for the tap changers. The
received bids in the tender contained the scope of changing the whole tap changers instead
of just the drive shafts as requested by CEC.As a result the price bids were well above
budget. A way forward will therefore be decided once the supplier visits site
The contract has been signed and preparations to commence works advanced. The only
outstanding issue is the procurement of clamps which was not part of the bidding process
as quantities were not known at the time. CEC has commenced the process of this
procurement. The project will be completed in November
CEC has decided to procure the standard Surge Arresters after the process to procure
custom made variants has taken long. Designs for custom made Luano- Bancroft Surge
Arresters is in progress. CEC yet to submit data required for consideration in designs for
Luano Kabundi Line. Procurement to proceed and procure conventional surge arresters
while interaction with Japanese vendors continues with a view to supply tailor made ones.

Provisions were made in the plan to cater for cash flows for the
Dangote Project. The substation and transmission line aspects
of the project are yet to commence
The project is running four months late, according to the plan.
