24 Oct 21  Since September 23 approval for additional funding, Nepal Airline Corporation (NAC) put out a 30-day quotation bid for the air-freight(9/20/21- 10/20/21), the formal documentation not yet available. Only one company submitted a bid. Exact gid is unclear, but definitely more than the earlier number. The Ministry of Health is covering this cost and meetings between the three parties are underway but MOH is reluctant to pay this higher price. We hope to know the details in a few more days to come. There is a possibility that the Consortium may have to cover the difference for anything above 275k. Any funds needed will go through ANMF Nepal to the Letter of Credit opened by the vendor, Medoxy. The last resort would be to transport the plant via sea route. The amount of about $15,000 is based on a handling charge in Paris (based on the weight of the freight) and other costs that will be incurred in Nepal based on the breakdown submitted by Mission Rebuild Nepal.

NAC is following its procedures to identify a suitable carrier. In the meantime, Mission Rebuild Nepal (MRN) has asked ANMF to consider bearing the costs of cargo handling at the Paris Airport (other members in our consortium will not be funding the cost there). MRN is asking that others in the consortium bear the cost of handling all the plants and transportation in Nepal so that ANMF does not have to bear the cost there. The exact numbers on the costs are not known yet as the freight carrier has not been identified so far.
