RT8-2020: TRANSPORTATION OF CARGO AND RELOCATION SERVICES FOR THE STATE FOR THE PERIOD 1 JUNE 2020 TO 31 MAY 2023 No. Question(s) Answer(s) 1. Handling Fee (dismantling/reassembly) is quoted per No. hour which could prove difficult to manage from the end user side as there could be a debate whether this charge is per person per hour and as such where you have four staff members it could be deemed 4 times the rate? From an end users perspective I would have an additional concern on productivity/ how long it would take. Would it not be more practical to take this to a charge per cu ft as this would eliminate this query? 2. Packaging Fee (Labour Component) is quoted per No. hour, however it could end up in a similar situation to the above and this component should really be included in a packaging fee which includes materials. Wrapping could however remain difficult to account for as a critical or fragile items would be unique to every consignment. Previously the packing and labour was included in the RT8 - 2017 contract as a rate per cu ft per km which safeguarded end users to a fair degree. Possibly a similar approach on this?

Storage costs are currently requested per day, however as the volume of the goods being stored has an impact on this should it not be per day/cuft? 5. Vehicle Transportation is requested as a flat rate per The requirement is flat rate per vehicle vehicle, however due to varying distances , car sizes, routes (rates inbound and outbound rates can also vary) as well as collection or deliveries outside main centres it can be difficult to give a flat rate. A possible solution is to set up a basic matrix and include some of the more common collection and delivery points (Pretoria/Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Port Elizabeth etc.)?
