2 Introduction This presentation (the Presentation) sets out the salient features of the Request for Proposal TNPA 2016/04/013/CM (the RFP ). The Presentation is provided to the Bidders for illustrative purposes only. Information provided in the RFP shall take precedence over information provided in the Presentation. 2

3 Context - Operation Phakisa Operation Phakisa is an initiative of the South African government, designed to fast track the implementation of solutions on critical development issues. One of the key components of Operation Phakisa is an oceans economy strategy. Several initiatives within the marine transport and manufacturing laboratory of Phakisa are under consideration. The Quay Initiative 2 aims in particular at providing a marine services cluster to serve the oil and gas activity off the coast of West Africa and South Africa in the port of Saldanha. Initiative 2 relates to the port of Saldanha and was originally conceived around the following: Establishment of rig repair activity; Establishment of ship repair activity; Establishment of an Offshore Supply Base facilities (OSSB) in the Port of Saldanha In 2014 Transnet reached an investment decision for the construction of a quay (the Quay) with a view to use it as an Offshore Supply Base at the Port of Saldanha. The GMQ (the Quay ) for the Facility is currently under construction and is expected to be completed in June The Quay is 294 m long and presents a draft of CD -6.5m. 3

4 General principles for the Project The appropriate outlet for the Quay has been investigated and developed with a view to extend a concession to a Private Party Operator (TPO) to provide maritime services primarily for the oil & gas industry (the Project) but taking into account the changed context for the oil and gas industry since the start of Operation Phakisa in It was decided that the Quay would be made available for a supply base facility providing generalist and specialist services to vessels, rigs and offshore platforms traversing and/or operating off the coast of Africa (the Facility). The recommended project structure also took the following objectives into account: 1. Operation Phakisa: contribute to economic growth and local empowerment through job creation and stimulation of a wider local supply chain. 2. Commercial attractiveness to an experienced and reputable operator who can anchor generalist and specialist offerings so as to support first class services primarily to the oil and gas industry. 3. Financial sustainability: optimise use of the Facility and support revenues generated for the TPO. 1 Operation Phakisa Concession of A Supply Base Facility Training job creation Local partnerships Bring skills Transfer of skills Local empowerment Expand supply chain Provide services at in line with market needs Fixed revenues Profit sharing Amortization of capital expenditure 2 3 Socioeconomic Technical Commercial Added-value services Financially sustainable 4

5 General principles for structuring the Scope of Services Seismic surveys Exploration Pre-production Production Transnet delivering Phakisa 2 Commercially Viable to TPO Authorised services Core O&G Services Anchor services 3 Financially sustainable 1 Socio-Economics Local empowerment, job creation, skills transfer, etc. The Project scope of services (the Services) has been designed to keep in line with market needs in an attempt to make the Supply Base Facility commercially viable while supporting the wider objectives of Operation Phakisa in particular the following: Bring-in specialist skills and support financial viability for the Project with commercial flexibility through an appropriate tariff structure (ramp-up fee, dual fixed/ variable structure see slide 11) as well as flexibility of scope of Services. 1. Anchor Services : generalist services to be delivered within a set timeframe (e.g. bunkering, water, offloading services), and which can target a variety of industries as the case may be; 2. Core Services: specialist oil and gas services to be delivered in line with market needs and to be provided in response to market demand e.g. pipe yard and handling of oil waste; and 3. Authorised Services as elected or proposed by Bidders to sustain the commercial viability: ( e.g. ship repair using a floating dock). 5

6 Envisaged Project structure The Project is structured as a 20-year Concession to a Third Party Operator (TPO) to operate the Supply Base Facility on a Multi-purpose basis, with a primary focus on ultimately servicing the oil and gas industry (the Core Services). General principle is that TPO would operate commercially (tariffs, ability to subcontract) with Transnet providing the quay, back of port land and general access to facilities of the Port of Saldanha. TRANSNET Third Party Operator (TPO) Owns the Supply Base Facility Facility Operator Agreement Operates the Supply Base Facility Anchor, Core O&G, Authorised services Service agreements Commercial tariffs Client 1 Client 2 Client n Target WACC return Concession Fee Transnet keeps ownership of the Supply Base Facility - while providing general access to port facilities, including: Land and access roads Access roads Transnet to receive payments under the Facility Operator Agreement - Concession Fee combining fixed and variable revenue sharing component Transnet to facilitate access to supporting services such as power, water, telecom and sewerage TPO to operate the Supply Base Facility in accordance with Facility Operator Agreement and scope of Services TPO provides superstructure and necessary equipment TPO is fully exposed to commercial risk but benefits from commercial flexibility TPO to maximise its level of revenues through the Authorised Services and management of their commercial offer TPO is accountable to deliver socio-economic plan 6

7 Scope of Services and land allocation The scope of Services can be broken down according to whether a Service is (1) compulsory or not, (2) to be made available according to a fixed timeline (as per the Bid Response) or in response to market demand, and (3) whether it relates to a critical skill used for qualification. All Services can be rendered on land owned by TNPA and made available for the Project as part of the Concession. Nature Category Timing for Availability of Services to the market Within the Project Site (Quay and Back of Quay) Compulsory Anchor Services Commencement of the Operations Period under the Facility Operator Agreement Note: bidders to propose the Construction Works Programme in respect of the Facility Infrastructure and the Facility Equipment in their Bid Response. The periods specified in the Construction Works Programme and the Facility Operator is required to commence the provision of at least the Anchor Services at the commencement of the Operations Period. Material loading & offloading facilities Storage facilities (including reefer points); Ancillary bunkering, fuel, oil and lubricants refill services Water refill Offices facilities Core Services As required by the market (*) or before if elected by the Facility Operator Note: investment to respond to market demand or earlier Handling of oil waste - Pipe yard including coating facilities Warehousing and facility yard management cleaning, maintenance and preservation of off-shore oil and gas related materials and equipment Non compulsory Authorised Services At Operations discretion to the extend in line with Bid Response and Facility Operator Agreement and notified to TNPA Note: investment for the Authorised Services to be undertaken at bidders. Authorised = Approved Services selected by the Bidders and the Proposed Services approved by TNPA Approved Services maintenance & repair services to vessels including the provision of a floating dock, boat building; Accommodation - ccustoms and clearing services, Proposed Services: as proposed by Bidders in their Bid Responses and be approved by TNPA as part of evaluation process, Compulsory & to be made available on fixed timeline (as per bid) - Used for qualification Compulsory & to be made available as per market demand Used qualification Compulsory & to be made available on fixed timeline (as per bid) NOT used for qualification NOT compulsory & to be made available as per market demand NOT used for qualification 7

8 Socio-economic qualification, evaluation and monitoring principles Qualification: accessible entry point combined with obligation to demonstrate continuing commitment to local empowerment and supporting the continuing transfer of skills Deliverables for qualification include: Demonstrate minimum criteria in terms of B-BBEE certifications (Level 4 or equivalent rating in terms of the Sector code if applicable) and ability to demonstrate a 25% Black Ownership from commencement of the Concession; Provide a B-BBEE improvement plan demonstrating ability to achieve a Level 2 B-BBEE and separate requirement of 55% Black Ownership level by 10 th anniversary of Effective Date; Provide a Supplier Development Plan for the full life of the Concession supporting the bidding targets used for the evaluation Evaluation: based on bidding targets over the full life of the concession through an NPV-based formula to support a comprehensive assessment and to reward bidders committing to more ambitious targets earlier. The targets indicated by the Bidders in their returnable (see example below) are to be validated by the Evaluation Team on the basis of the Supplier Development Plan Targets from 10 th anniversary of the Effective Date (Contract Year 10) apply for the rest of the Concession approved targets by ET Capacity & Capability building (localisation) % staff SA % staff being trained % revenues spent on training BEE generic scorecard rating Weighted Sum Weight within SD 20% 25% 25% 10% 20% n/a n/a n/a Applicable Base n/a n.a n/a Approved SED plan year % 10.0% 10.0% 1.0% Approved SED plan year % 12.0% 12.0% 1.0% Approved SED plan year % 14.0% 14.0% 1.0% Approved SED plan year % 16.0% 16.0% 1.0% Approved SED plan year % 20.0% 20.0% 2.0% Approved SED plan year % 20.0% 20.0% 2.0% Approved SED plan year % 20.0% 20.0% 2.0% Approved SED plan year % 20.0% 20.0% 2.0% Approved SED plan year % 20.0% 20.0% 2.0% Approved SED plan year % 20.0% 20.0% 2.0% NPV Discount Factor 9.41% NPV of Weighted Sum = SD Score Monitoring: ensure accountability as bidding targets become binding under the Facility Operator Agreement Operator to report annually on their Empowerment Obligations (part of the Annual Report); Performance measurement is based on updating the SD Score to actual parameters and comparing to the Bid Response, allowing therefore flexibility on delivery individual targets but keeping overall accountability; Failure to achieve Empowerment Obligations, give raise to penalties and obligation to post a remedial plan - Failure to remedy is an EoD. 8

9 Socio-economic B-BBEE requirements an illustration As part of the Supplier Development Value Summary Worksheet, Bidders will be required to compete on their expected B-BBEE ratings over the lifetime of the Concession. The penalty regime will only apply from Contract Year 4 onwards. At a minimum, Bidders will be required to achieve at least a Level 4 B-BBEE contributor status (*) at the beginning of the project, and demonstrate how this can be improved to reach a level 2 (*) contributor status by 10 th anniversary of Effective Date, using the current generic 2013 B-BBEE codes as a reference. Practically this could mean the following: While the preferential procurement targets are high, there are exclusions that allow for imports where no local products are available or different technical specifications are available locally, and provided a company has an accompanying supplier development plan (which does form part of the RFP s inputs). On inception, a company is automatically given a Level 4 (*) contributor status level (for one year); There is some flexibility on how firms can improve their contributor status levels (for example focussing more on management control, or procurement, etc.) Ownership targets set in the RFP should translate into a high score on the B-BBEE scorecard if the transaction is well structured (i.e. high level of voting rights & equity share is not funded via a loan) The RFP targets on training and localisation align with skills development & enterprise development, which will help to contribute up to 25 & 44 points. However, these are challenging to be achieved fully (especially in the first five years as operations and investment in skills are ramped up), To maintain a Level 4 (*) contributor status under the revised codes, bidders must also focus on meeting at least 50 per cent of targets under management control. 15 more points will need to be scored by year 10 for bidders to reach a Level 2 status (from a Level 4 status (*)). This requires bidders to meet over 80 per cent of all targets in the B-BBEE codes. (*) or other rating in terms of the Sector code as applicable 9
