Chesa Forest Borehole
Forestry Commission wants a whole-contract borehole at Chesa Forest: siting, wet-hole drilling, capacity testing, water quality analysis, solar equipping and ZINWA registration. Bids close 4 November 2026 at 10:00 CAT.
A complete borehole contract at Chesa Forest for the Forestry Commission — and this notice is unusually clear about scope, which is what makes it worth reading. The work covers siting, wet hole drilling, capacity testing and test pumping, water quality analysis, equipping with a solar pumping system and installation, and registering the borehole with ZINWA. That is the full cycle rather than drilling alone, which is the single most common ambiguity on borehole notices. Here it is settled: you deliver a working, registered, solar-equipped borehole. What is not given is the target depth, the expected yield, the tank or reticulation requirement, and the pump sizing — all of which depend on the siting you have not yet done, so expect to price on assumptions and state them. It is priced as a single lump sum over 30 days, quotes valid 30 days. The full tender document was not available to us. Note "wet hole" means payment turns on striking water, so the risk of a dry hole sits with the contractor unless the document says otherwise.
