Ten fire hoses for Hwange Power Station, for use on the Stage 2 header tanks during a raw water outage.

The length is given as "23m 25m". Delivery is within 15 days, funded from internally generated funds, with quotations valid for 30 days.

• The length reads "23m 25m" with no separator, so whether 23 metres, 25 metres or a range is meant is unresolved — confirm before pricing.
• IS 2871 is cited for the nozzle, so check that the nozzle offered can be shown to conform.
• No pressure rating or hose lining and coupling type is given, and couplings in particular have to match what is already installed.
• The use case is a raw water outage rather than firefighting, but the specification is a fire hose one — worth reading the RFQ for what the hoses actually have to do.
