Participation by Nationals among proposed Key Experts

Our National Key Expert, Mr. Chapagain (AK3 and BK6), is a Nepalese national who now holds a UK-NRN card, indicating
that he is a Foreign National of Nepali Origin. Currently, Mr. Chapagain is working in Nepal for our sub- consultant, Sanima
Hydro. We have previously provided a copy of his NRN card and other supporting information to confirm his Nepalese
nationality.
Regarding the Score of Nationals among Key Experts, our calculation is:
During Phase A, according to our TECH 6, we proposed the following in person-months: AK3 = 8
person-months
AK6-2 = 6.5 person-months
During Phase B&C, according to our TECH 6, we proposed the following in person-months: BK4-2
= 23 person-months
BK6 = 52 person-months
Total in person-months phase B&C = 85/465
Therefore, the total score should be: 99.5/561 x 20 = 3.55 points

Evaluation of Key Experts

We present below a comparison of UAHEL’s evaluation of five Key Experts where we note a significant fifty-seven
(57) point discrepancy to our self-evaluation. We kindly request that you provide, in the video conference debriefing, the
score against sub-criteria for each of the nineteen (19) evaluated Key Personnel positions.
