Stave Lake Water Supply and Treatment ProjectBusiness Case for P3 Canada Fund Funding Request AMWSC April 04 2011
Purpose of business case • Determine if the Project may qualify for financial support from the P3 Canada Fund • Must be a P3 delivery model including design & construction plus one or more of operations, maintenance, financing • Must provide public benefit • Must provide “value for money” according to accepted CDN practice • Project structure and procurement process must follow best practice • Level of support: up to 25% of eligible costs • Form of support: repayable, non-repayable, interest-free loan, other • Business case contents guided by P3 Canada Fund submission guide • Methodology guided by Partnerships BC practices
Recommended procurement option: Hybrid DBFO+DBO DBFO for “Bundle A” • Intake & Pump Station • Water Treatment Plant • Reservoir Expansion • Partial public, partial private financing • Long term warranty benefit from the private financing DBO for “Bundle B” • Transmission Mains • No private financing
Recommended procurement option: Hybrid DBFO+DBO Basis for recommendation: • Maximizes construction time and cost certainty (on-time, on-budget) • Maximizes long term cost certainty • Reduces AMWSC’s retained risk and transfers considerable risk to the contractor • Provides long term performance guarantee appropriate for each Bundle • Estimated project “value for money1” of $33.2 M or 10.6% • Estimated “value for money” to AMWSC of up to: • $83.5 M or 26.7% … depending on level of P3 Canada Fund contribution 1 Net present value of cost savings over the design, construction, and operating period (approx 29 years in total), as compared to traditional design-bid-build procurement.
Recommended procurement option: Hybrid DBFO+DBO Key Features • AMWSC sets water quality standards and capacity of the system • One contractor is selected through a competitive process for the combined DBFO+DBO • The contractor designs and builds, and then operates and maintains, Bundle A and Bundle B for 25 years – for a fixed price • AMWSC pays for approximately 35% of the construction costs of Bundle A during construction, the balance is financed by the contractor • AMWSC pays for 100% of the construction costs of Bundle B during construction • AMWSC makes annual payments for operations and maintenance • AMWSC makes annual payments to repay the contractor’s financing on Bundle A • Payments to the contractor are at risk: penalties are applied if the contractor does meet the terms of the contract
Comparison of procurement models CONFIDENTIAL
Funding request from P3 Canada Fund • Funding request for 25% of eligible costs in the form of a non-refundable contribution • Contribution would be received during the construction period and used to offset the AMWSC’s milestone payments to the contractor • P3 Canada Fund investment offers incremental value for money and a resultant incremental reduction in AMWSC’s costs of water provision
