This is due to huge backlogs in the former homelands

CURRENT ROAD COSTS
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Costs vary considerably from project to project due to a number of factors including
topography, geology, climate, location and specifications. But for very approximate
estimation the following can be used
Regravelling = R350,000/km
Grading /blading = R3 000/km
Construction of new gravel roads = R800 000 /km
Fog spray = R150 000/ km
Reseal = R1 000,000/km
Upgrading to surfaced standard = R10 million/km (low-volume)
= R18 million/km (conventional)
Surfaced roads maintenance costs
– Routine Maintenance = R35 000/km/year
– EC Provincial surfaced network requirement = R498 million/annum

CAPITAL BACKLOGS
Due to our extensive apartheid homeland legacy EC has the lowest per capita investment in
infrastructure (fixed capital stock) in the Country.
This is particularly evident in our provincial road network where only 14% of provincial
roads (excluding minor roads) are surfaced compared to the average of 26% for the entire
country. ( NC- 14% FS-23%, NW-25%, KZN-25%, LP-34%, WC-37%, MP-38% & GP-75%).
This amounts to a backlog of over 3,000km of provincial surfaced roads
Similarly EC has a backlog of several hundred major culverts and bridges to replace severely
undersized and dangerous drifts, low-level causeways and undersized culverts and bridges.
The DRPW has quantified the capital backlog for Provincial Roads which includes:
– Over 1,000 km of Gravel roads carrying high to very high traffic volumes that should
ideally be immediately upgraded to surface roads = R18 billion capital backlog
– A further 2,000 km of Gravel roads carrying medium to high traffic volumes that also
serve a significant strategic function and thus should be surfaced= R 30 billion capital
backlog
– Several hundred undersized bridges, culverts and drifts that are cut off during major
rain events = R 1 billion capital backlog
– Approx. 300 km of provincial surfaced roads requiring heavy rehabilitation and 900km
of provincial surfaced roads requiring light rehabilitation = over R1.5 billion capital
backlog
– Approx. 9,000 km of provincial gravel roads with poor drainage, often as a result of the
road having been worn down to below natural ground level and thus requiring
extensive rehabilitation or reconstruction as a gravel road= estimated at over R5 billion
capital backlog
Estimated provincial road infrastructure capital backlog = over R56 billion

CONCLUSION
• Provincial R25
•
•
•
The Eastern Cape has an extensive provincial road network
– The average state of the Surfaced network is “Fair”
– The average state of the Gravel network is “Poor”
– The historical trend of average road condition is downwards
The Eastern Cape provincial road network has an extensive backlog of both
Capital and Maintenance needs
Current Funding levels through both National Treasury (Provincial Road
Maintenance Grant) and Provincial Treasury (Equitable Share allocation) are
inadequate

INITIATIVES OF THE EXPANDED PUBLIC
WORKS BRANCH(PROGRAMME 4) EPWP)
1) APTCoD Programme – Accelerated Professional and Trade Competency
Development
 The aim of this Programme is to help prospective artisans to pass a trade test –
We currently have 677 trainees in this Programme and during the past financial
year (2014/15) 81 trainee obtained their trade test certificates.
 This Programme also assist young professionals to obtain registration with their
respective professional bodies by placing them under supervision of Professional
Mentors
2) EPWP Labour Intensive Job Creation Programme
 The aim of this Programme is to encourage Municipalities and other public bodies
to create their own labour intensive projects (i.e-paving projects e.t.c) and to
register same with National Public Works. These organs of State receive a
monitory incentive for successfully completing such projects. We as the Provincial
Department of Roads and Public Works report on project performance progress
on two National Systems namely:
M.I.S – (Management Information System)
I.R.S - (Integrated Reporting System)
52
Which provide clear indicators as to the number of work opportunities created quarterly.
 During the past finance year this Programme created 138 626 work opportunities
Provincially which is equated to 40 454 FTE’s (Full Time Equivalent) which is 230 days
of work /year)
3) Household Contractor Programme – (HHC)
Through this Programme DRPW appoints women headed households to do periodic
maintenance on Provincial roads and general maintenance within Municipal boundaries
• The HHC are paid through the SA Post Office with whom we have a SLA and they only
work 8 days per month (pay R616.00/month)
• Currently the Province employs 45, 500 Household Contractors monthly whom we
provide with protective clothing, tools and equipment
• We have placed these Household Contractors under supervision of Emerging
Contractors residing in each of our Municipal areas
4) Construction Industry Development Programme
This Programme is responsible for:
• Registration of Contractors on the CIDB data base
• Assist Contractors to upgrade their CIDB grading
• Creation of a database for SMME Contractors which SMME’s are used by us for simple
Ad-hoc maintenance tasks with values below R30 000.00/case (rotational process)
• Assist our SCMU with the registration of Supplies on the Provincial Central Supplier
Database which is maintained by Provincial Treasury
53
5) Community Development Programme
The aim of this Programme is to establish sustainable co-ops who can do meaningful
construction work, for example in the Blue Crane Municipal area (Somerset East), we have
purchased block making machines and have registered a co-op who manufactures pavers
and kerbs and has upgraded most of the Municipal sidewalks in town. This co-op also
undertakes private work for their own account
• Access road to airport
• Private drive ways
• Will provide pavers for the upgrade of the Old R335 from the Northern boundary of
Addo National Park to Somerset East (over Ann’s Villa)
• We have established 10 of these co-op’s throughout the Province
6) Incubator Programme
The aim of this Programme is to provide opportunities for the lower Graded Contractors
(GB2- GB5) to upgrade their CIDB grading. The process we follow is as below:
• We advertise for expressions of interest from a pre- determined grade of Contractor to
be placed on our incubator data base
• We then, through a process of Limited Bidding, where tendering is restricted to the
group on the database, appoints Contractors to do certain construction work (say
maintenance of Municipal Libraries in smaller municipal areas funded by DESRAC)
• These Contractors receive training through SITA on OHS, Financial Management,
Record Management, Entrepreneurial skills , technical building skills, e.t.c and are
placed under mentorship of a competent person
54
•
•
•
They get paid every 14 days
They get assisted to obtain bridging finance from ECDC e.t.c
Once these Contractors have completed a couple of projects successfully our
CIDP assist with their upgrading with CIDB
• Through this Programme we have upgraded 95 Contractors to the next level
during the 14/15 financial year
7) Integrated Contractor Development Programme
• The Integrated Contractor Development Programme will combine contractor
empowerment intervention in the Buildings, Roads Infrastructure and the
Expanded Public Works Programme into a unified programme during the
2015/16 financial year
• The Department will enroll 125 emerging contractors from grade 1 to 6 into this
programme and an amount of R300m has been set aside for the Integrated
Contractor Development Programme and will be utilised over a period of 3 years
8) The Amathuba Jobs Portal
This Programme seeks to link unemployed people (especially the youth) who are
suited to work in the construction industry up with job opportunities. In the 2014/15
financial year in the Cacadu/Sarah Baartman Region alone, we have managed to find
employment for 533 people and the target for the entire Province for the 2015/16
financial year is 6000
55
9) Small Town Revitalization
All the above EPWP initiatives is mainly launched in small towns throughout the
Province in an attempt to revitalize these towns
Constraints
•
•
•
•
•
The number of CIDB registered Grade1 contractors far exceed available work
opportunities and CIDB continues to register more (no entry requirements)
SMME Contractors are disrupting building projects in the Sarah Baartman Region
and especially in the Metro
The absence of Inter-Departmental Co-operation between Roads and Public
Works, DEDEAT and Water Affairs hampers our response to prevailing conditions
Insufficient funds for infrastructure maintenance (both Roads and Public Works)
Cumbersome Supply Chain process
