Request for expression of interest, deadline 14/01/2022, for a consultancy service to perform a feasibility study of the Prawash - Jorte Road Tunnel in Bartung -Tansen - Ridi - Wamitaksar - Kharwang NH49, in mid-western Nepal. How will the construction of the Prawash - Jorte Road Tunnel, directly and indirectly effect and positively influence the districts of Palpa, Gulmi, Syangja, Baglung, districts. Will it also help in enhancing the tourism sector in these areas?   

The approximate entry point and exit coordinate of the proposed tunnel are 27°50'31" N, 83°32'24" E and 27°53'60" N, 83°28'36" E. The construction of road tunnel reduces the tentative length of the road by up to 15 Km and hence  reduces the travel time making travel safe in a geographically steep terrain. The tunnel will be constructed under the DB or EPC Contract Model. The assignment has been scheduled for a period of 6 months. Expected date of commencement of the assignment is 02-03-2022.
