HIRE OF BACKHOE LOADER
Zvimba Rural District Council wants a backhoe loader on hire for Operation Chenesai Guta in Zvimba East — demolishing illegal structures and tuckshops and clearing the debris, priced at both wet and dry rates. Bids close 30 September 2026 at 12:00 CAT.
The council is hiring a backhoe loader, quoted two ways: 100 machine hours at a wet rate, and 100 machine hours at a dry rate. A wet rate normally carries fuel and operator, a dry rate the machine alone, so the two lines are different commercial offers rather than two separate jobs — confirm from the document whether both are wanted or the council is comparing them. The work itself is unusually well described. The TLB assists in the demolition and pulling down of identified illegal structures and tuckshops, together with clearing, loading and removal of the resulting debris and other associated site-cleaning and earthwork activities, in Zvimba East. What the notice leaves out matters on demolition work: no insurance, liability or site safety requirement is stated, no tipping site is named for the debris, and no machine size or breaker attachment is specified. The engagement runs a year with 60-day bid validity. The full tender document was not published where we can read it, so download it from the source before pricing.
