Two options (shown in Table Q3a) are being considered to supply water to yard taps within a section of the Thembisa Township. Your project committee which comprises the councillor, youth leaders, political party representatives, interested stakeholders and the Johannesburg Water representatives have agreed on one project objective i.e.: to provide each household with at least 200 litres per day The preferred option will cater for 300 households. Assume that each household will contribute a total of R240 during the first year and this annual contribution will increase by the prevailing interest rate until the end of the 10-year period. Both options have a life span of 10 years and the prevailing annual interest rate is 5%. The council will pay for 90% of the capital cost of the preferred option while households will pay 10% of the capital cost PLUS 100% of the Operation, Maintenance and Replacement (OMR) costs. The OMR cost will increase by a fixed amount annually from the end of the 2nd year (see Table Q3a). As a project committee, develop a matrix to screen the two options below. After developing the matrix, screen the 2 options and recommend the preferred option to the Mayor. Table Q3b lists the typical steps involved in developing a screening matrix and the mark allocation.
