Chris Van Gass
Cape Town

Cape Town has introduced a dedicated bus and taxi lane to speed up early morning commuter traffic along the N2 from densely populated residential areas, past the airport into the city.

Transport MEC Marius Fransman yesterday officially opened the R65m project, the first phase to improve the traffic flow along the N2 into the city. The next phase will be a project to remove blockages facing traffic as it moves through "hospital bend", past the Groote Schuur hospital, at a cost of R125m.

He said the 11km bus and taxi lane was a radical intervention by the transport department, with assistance from the city, an intervention forced by the "growing spectre of traffic congestion".

Fransman warned yesterday that private vehicles using the dedicated lane earmarked only for buses and minibus taxis would face R500 fines. He said a previous attempt in 1995 to enforce the dedicated lane had misfired because the necessary technology and law enforcement mechanisms had not been in place.

Fransman said that this was not the case now and that two years of negotiations between the government, the council and enforcement agencies had resulted in the deployment of a number of television cameras.

Enforcement officials based at the traffic nerve centre in Goodwood would make use of hi-tech automatic number plate recognition cameras to offer a "foolproof" way of identifying the drivers of private vehicles driving in the lane illegally.

From today, motorists using the lane illegally would be sent a fine in the post.

 

Fransman warned that if the authorities became aware of repeat offenders, he would not hesitate to use stronger measures, including the possibility of confiscating vehicles.

More than a million people used Cape Town's roads during the morning peak period. This particular stretch of road carried more than 30000 commuters daily, about 18000 travelling in 900 public transport vehicles and 12500 in 7500 private vehicles.

Fransman called for a change in mind-set both from drivers of private vehicles, and taxi and bus drivers who would now have a stretch of road for their exclusive use. It was estimated that the new lane would cut commuter times for those using public transport by 30 minutes. Capetonians who continued to use private vehicles in the remaining two lanes would add between 10 and 15 minutes to their journeys.

-10-

 

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS (contd.)

 

Please Note:

 

Although it might be argued that JMPD will have nothing to do with the back-office operations of a service provider, there will be a large degree of overlapping where JMPD personnel must perform functions in all systems e.g. payments, representations, handling court rolls, etc.  It is important to remember that JMPD will still have to operate a system for prosecutions instigated by their own personnel as well as by-law contraventions.

 

It will undoubtedly be in the interest of JMPD to retain the CIPRUS system supplied by Civitas as a back-office processing system for any contractor.  The CIPRUS system can be configured to cater for differentiated processing of the legal jurisdiction areas.  This means that JMPD can award tenders to any number of service for the supply of traffic surveillance and law enforcement equipment whilst all of them utilize the CIPRUS system as their back-office processing engine.

 

In order to render a consistent service to the public and standard cost-effective interfaces to service providers such as commercial banks, web sites, SAPO and remote date access- and payment points and to standardize the administrative tasks of JMPD personnel, the successful contractors shall utilize the CIPRUS traffic management and administration system as a back-office system.  Should the CIPRUS system lack the capability to supply any of the Principal User Requirements, the successful contractor shall liaise and negotiate with Civitas Data Services (Pty) Ltd in order to ensure that such capabilities be incorporated in the system

 

8.              Transfer of Skills

 

The development of a fully integrated, performance based back office is vitally important to ensure that no “backlog” is developed and that all prosecutions will fall within the 30-day prosecution period.  It will be expected of the successful bidders to indicate by means of an action plan on how these skills will be transferred after a period of two years to the existing Johannesburg Metro Police Department Prosecution Processing team that will be responsible for all “other” capturing of prosecutions within the City of Johannesburg.

 

9.              Proof of Concepts and Pilot Projects

 

Given the complexity of the stated business requirements, the first round of tender adjudication will result in a short-listing of preferred bidders. Only service providers who provide documented proof of substantial experience and who can provide a system that meets all the described user requirements will be considered. These bidders may be invited to study the impact upon their business proposals of a Competency Based Performance Management [CPM] intervention into the business processes underlying the registering and processing of offences within the Johannesburg Metro Police Department. 

 

 

-11-

 

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS (contd.)

 

Furthermore, the short listed contractors will also be invited to design and demonstrate a proof of concept of their proposed technology solutions, to be independently tested by the Johannesburg Metro Police Department. The capability of the option of capturing data, wireless in real time would be specifically tested during the pilot project.  Permission will also be obtained from the Director Public Prosecutions on the approval of the various apparatus. The practical utility of these technologies will be piloted in real life circumstances by the City of Johannesburg for a period of at least 30-days.  Relevant information about these processes will be communicated to the short listed bidders.

 

10.          Ownership of Equipment After 3 years

 

Bidders must indicate in detail as to how equipment, including all hardware and software will be disposed off after the contract of 3 years.

 

11.            Evaluation of the tender submission

 

The bidder must score at least 20 points in regard with the detailed                                            requirements of the principal user to qualify for further adjudication. 

 

The Service Provider shall not contact the CoJ or any matter relating to their submission from the time of the opening thereof to the time notice is received as to their department.  If a Service Provider wishes to bring additional information to the notice of the CoJ it should do so in writing at the address indicated above.  Any effort by a Service Provider to influence the CoJ in the evaluation of submissions may result in the rejection of the Service Provider submissions.

 

Submission evaluation criteria and point system:

 

                                                                                                                                                                                                            Maximum Points

12.            Skills Availability, Company Profiles and Project Briefs

 

Service Providers must ensure that they include in their tender submission, full profiles of both their company and skills resource base.

 

Failure by Services Providers to submit sufficient information regarding their skills based and company profile, so as to enable the Council to properly and fully evaluate their tender submission, will render their tender submission liable to rejection as non-responsive.

 

The City of Johannesburg reserves the right to not proceed with the award of the tender.
