City of Kadoma wants 3 ultrasonic water flow meters supplied and fitted on pumping mains — 600mm, 375mm and 300mm AC pipe. US$400 bid security. Bids close 15 October 2026 at 23:59 CAT.

Supply and fixing of 3 ultrasonic water flow meters on the City of Kadoma's water pumping mains, sized for 600mm, 375mm and 300mm asbestos cement pipe. The pipe sizes are given, which is the critical input for a flow meter — one meter for each main. Classed as works, so installation is in scope, and fitting meters on live pumping mains raises questions about shutdowns and pipe access that the notice does not address. What is not specified: whether these are clamp-on or inline meters, accuracy class, output and telemetry requirements, power supply at each location, and where the three mains actually are. Clamp-on versus inline is the fundamental question — it decides whether the mains must be cut. A bid security of 400 applies, bid validity 60 days, period 60 days.
