Head Office Borehole Drilling Wethole Contract
Forestry Commission wants 2 commercial boreholes at its Highlands head office on a wet-hole contract — survey, siting, drilling, cap test, equipping, water quality test, plumbing and electricals — within a month. Bids close 3 September 2026 at 11:00 CAT.
Two commercial boreholes at the Forestry Commission head office, No. 1 Orange Grove Drive, Highlands, Harare, quoted as two lump sums. The scope runs end to end: survey and siting, drilling, a cap test, equipping, a water quality test, and the plumbing and electrical work to connect them. The notice calls it a wet-hole contract, which normally means the driller is paid on a hole that yields water rather than on metres drilled — so the risk of a dry hole sits with the contractor.
