  10. PORTFOLIOS • The DW Fmn is managing two portfolios, viz: Portfolio 1: Management of projects executed by DPW. Portfolio 2: Own Resource Projects executed by DW Fmn. RESTRICTED

  11. PORTFOLIO 1 • In this portfolio the DW Fmn collate information within the DOD, submit it for execution by DPW and monitor progress. RESTRICTED

  12. THE PROCESS FOLLOWED • The process followed to manage projects executed by DPW: • Defence Works Capability undertakes a yearly planning process of updating the User Asset Management Plan (UAMP). • UAMP is a planning document which is informed by the inputs from Services/Divisions in accordance with their Force Support, Force Preparation and Force Employment facility requirements for the MTEF. • Services/Divisions are required to submit the Certificate of Essentiality (COE) to the Defence Works Formation (DW Fmn) for facilities which needs to be either refurbished, demolished, constructed or leased in order of priority. RESTRICTED

  13. THE PROCESS FOLLOWED • DW Fmn uses UAMP to compare the needs and go through a prioritisation process together with Services/Divisions and produce the DOD priority list which is then given to DPW for execution. RESTRICTED

  14. THE PROCESS FOLLOWED • Ordinarily projects registered with DPW are of the magnitude which takes a minimum of 24 months to complete. • To control the projects DW Fmn uses stages to determine whether there is progress or not. • Once the DW Fmn realises that the project is not progressing from one stage to another, DW Fmn will lodge a formal complain at the established forums up to the Director General (DG) level. RESTRICTED

  15. PROJECTS UNDER EXECUTION BY DPW • Registered projects with DPW RESTRICTED

  16. PLANNED PROJECTS • Projects to be registered with DPW RESTRICTED

  17. HISTORICAL CHALLENGES The following are historical challenges which the DOD experienced wrt projects executed by DPW and this has necessitated an intervention by Sec Def and DG DPW : • In identified circumstances the appointment of consultants and contractors by DPW. • No immediate remedial action against contractors on poor workmanship. • Turnaround time on Projects is too long. • At the time DPW has not responded to DOD’s request to allow DOD to execute projects on GIAMA property. RESTRICTED

  18. HISTORICAL CHALLENGES ON REFURBISHMENT/CAPITAL WORKS PROJECTS RESTRICTED

  19. HISTORICAL CHALLENGES ON REFURBISHMENT/CAPITAL WORKS PROJECTS RESTRICTED

  20. HISTORICAL CHALLENGES ON REFURBISHMENT/CAPITAL WORKS PROJECTS RESTRICTED

  21. HISTORICAL CHALLENGES ON REFURBISHMENT/CAPITAL WORKS PROJECTS RESTRICTED

  22. HISTORICAL CHALLENGES ON LEASING AND MUNICIPAL SERVICES • The DOD has elected to have the DPW to administer the Municipal Services and Leases since there was no sufficient structure to render the services in the DOD. • It was found that DPW is processing the municipal accounts and leases for DOD payments without conducting proper verification. RESTRICTED

  23. HISTORICAL CHALLENGES ON ACCOMMODATION CHARGES • Accommodation Charges is a devolved budget from National Treasury. • Annually the DPW is being given up to R1bn. • DPW must use this budget to fund the Day-to-Day Maintenance, Planned Maintenance and Rates and Taxes for the DOD. • DPW has annually underperformed on the Planned Maintenance Programme notwithstanding the budget was prepaid quarterly. • The strategy from the DW Fmn is to ensure the following related to Accommodation Charges: • DPW to make visible what Planned Maintenance Programme they are going to undertake for the MTEF in order to allow DW Fmn to monitor progress. RESTRICTED

  24. HISTORICAL CHALLENGES ON ACCOMMODATION CHARGES • DPW failed to adhere to their promise to fix the leaking roof at 1 Mil Hospital using accommodation charges before the rainy season of 2017. • DPW has failed to consistently maintain boilers, chillers, ventilators in theatres etc. at 1 Mil Hospital resulting in outsourcing of services to private sector. • DPW must ensure that the budget that is provided to DPW as Accommodation Charges are fully utilized to address the facilities. RESTRICTED

  25. INTERVENTION BY SEC DEF & DG DPW • On 13 April 2017 Sec Def met DG DPW to advise on the above-mentioned frustrations. • The following decisions were taken: Establishment of the Strategic Management Task Team led by Maj Gen M.J. Ledwaba (DOD) and Mr M.S. Thobakgale (DPW) which will oversee and report progress to the two DGs RESTRICTED

  30. PROGRESS AFTER THE DG MEETING OF 13 APRIL 2017 • The DW Fmn has conducted a pilot project to conduct verification on accounts received from DPW and currently Rm460 (Municipal) and Rm53 (Leases) are disputed with DPW. (NB: DW Fmn has proposed that a section be created within its structure to take over this function). (DOD concurs) • A Pilot project is established to finalize verification and method of reimbursing the DOD. DPW have in principle agreed to provide DOD with credit note once they have finalized their internal processes. RESTRICTED

  31. 1 MILITARY HOSPITAL MAINTENANCE CHALLENGES • Letter from GOC 1 Military Hospital dated 15 December 2016: • Appointed electrical contractor was not qualified to work on medium voltage installations and a second electrical contractor was appointed. • Contractors were appointed for a period of six months only. • Under-payment by DPW limited the maintenance work conducted by maintenance contractors. • Routine maintenance work is currently not performed. DPW only approves emergency repairs. • Regional Office of DPW confirmed during a meeting on 4 Nov 16 that they experience a shortage of funds. • Procedure to get approval for any maintenance need is a very lengthy process resulting sometimes in more damage – water overflow into adjacent rooms.
