MEDIA RELEASE
Progress Update – September 2023
PUBLIC SAFETY
After evaluating the proposals received in response to the CID’s RFP process, a preferred service provider has been identified to provide Public Safety services such as visible patrols in Pinelands. Negotiations to finalise a contract and service level agreement are currently in progress. The CID’s board has been in contact with city officials for Law Enforcement deployment, set up a safety sub-committee and conducted on-site assessments of the camera network and control room. In addition, the Pinelands CID has been officially registered on the Sub-council database and regularly attends the Community Police Forum meetings.
MAINTENANCE & CLEANSING
A RFP has been issued by the Pinelands CID for the provision of cleansing and maintenance services. The RFP closes on 05 October 2023 and a service provider will be appointed thereafter. Board members have met with city officials from the Recreation and Parks department, Sub-council Office as well as the Ward Councillor to discuss mowing schedules, maintenance and cleaning services.
MANAGEMENT & ADMINSTRATION
The Pinelands CID is now fully compliant, registered for tax, and is approved as a vendor of the City of Cape Town. However, as yet the City of Cape Town has not released any funds to the Pinelands CID bank account. This is expected to be actioned by the end of the month.
Thank you for your support, another update will be released shortly.
