What are P3s? Public Private Partnerships (P3s) are contractual agreements formed between a public agency and a private sector entity that allow for greater private sector participation in the delivery and financing of infrastructure projects.
Factors Driving P3s • Estimated $47 billion gap in transportation funding • Accelerate high priority projects • Maximize quality of facility and service provided • Encourage long-term efficiency • Lock in long term fixed price (cost savings) • Encourage Innovation • Established international P3 market and industry • Federal and state actions that support P3s: • Federal: SEP-14, SEP-15, SAFETEA-LU • State: P3 law, Turnpike and Expressway Authorities, Innovative Contracting law
Types of P3s • Design/Build/Finance • Design/Build/Finance/Operate/Maintain • Operate/Maintain Concession
Design-Build-Finance-Operate-Maintain Considerations Strong Market interest Lifecycle cost and O&M performance benefits Allows repayment outside the State’s work program Appropriate risk transfer Flexibility for future transportation needs Flexibility to retain (or transfer) control of toll policy and collection Value for Money analysis will determine if cost savings from DBFOM are likely to offset additional financial cost
Why was P3 Considered for I-595? CONSTRUCTION YEARS 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 PROJECTS 1 THRU 10A CURRENT ANTICIPATED PLAN Projects 1 thru 6 & 8 UNFUNDED Projects 7, 9, 10, & 10A PROJECTS 1 THRU 10A PUBLIC – PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP (P3) Projects 1 thru 10A • Accelerates the schedule • Advances noise wall construction • Provides capacity improvements a minimum of 15 years sooner than the Initial (conventional) plan • Provides finance mechanism for funding shortfall • Potential to deliver long-term cost savings and higher levels of service • Industry Innovation
P3 Benefits • Innovation • Possible private equity • Access to global capital markets • Outside engineering expertise and management practices • Transfer appropriate risk • Long term contract (relationships) • Can provide “stability” in pricing • Economy of Scale (cost savings) • Public benefit delivered earlier
P3 Challenges • Loss of control or perceived loss of control • Day to Day Management • Setting toll rates, performance standards • “Cherry picking” by the private sector • Learning curve in negotiating & managing P3s • “Real” transfer of risk (will cost real money) • Long term contract (relationships)
P3 Recommendations • Pick the right projects • Be flexible and transparent during the process • Secure government and community stakeholders’ support • Be patient and start at the right time • Secure outside experts with P3 experience • Be clear, consistent and persistent
Payment Mechanisms: Main Concepts • True Toll Payment • The P3 Firm collects all tolls as payment • Shadow Toll Payment • Payment is based on a pre-determined price per vehicle the Owner will pay the P3 firm • Pure Availability Payment • Payment is based on facility being available less deductions for specific contract requirements • Variation of above • A portion of all or some of the above could be done
Performance Based Contract Unavailability Events Deduction* Rush Hour I-595 Lane Closure for 2 Hours $24,000 Midday SR-84 Lane Closure for 2 Hours $12,000 Late Night Ramp Lane Closure for 4 Hours $ 3,000 Planned Maintenance $ 0 O&M Violations Missed/Incomplete Inspection $ 2,000 (per) Unacceptable Guardrail Performance $ 9,000 (day) *Approximate Maximum Availability Payment (MAP) deductions based on $74M MAP ($64M base MAP escalated at 3% to year 2014)
Performance Based Contract • Availability Faults and O&M Violations will also result in the assessment of Noncompliance Points. • These points will be tracked through the life of the project. • Noncompliance Points trigger increased monitoring • 50 points in 1 year • 75 instances in 3 years • 100 points in 3 years • Persistent Noncompliance Points may result in default.
