By using private financing or a hybrid of private and public financing on P3 projects, public agencies can leverage their infrastructure construction budgets over longer time periods and cover more projects. P3 and risk P3 projects manage responsibilit y and risk more efficiently. P3 project design is typically performance-based rather than prescriptive, giving the concessionaire the freedom to maximize efficiencies and take advantage of its expertise in design and construction. A P3 project typically places the traditional duties for construction of the project on the concessionaire, including greater responsibility and risk for items such as systems testing and inspection, obtaining government permits and approvals, testing and removal of hazardous materials, differing site conditions, indemnities, insurance and extended warranties. In payment responsibility and risk, P3 projects typically involve availability payment schemes. An availability payment concession keeps the payment responsibility with the public owner, but often seeks to delay substantial payments to the concessionaire until the construction is complete enough to be placed in use and provide revenue to the public owner. In either case, a substantial portion of the payment for construction is made to the concessionaire after the facility is substantially complete and begins generating revenue. This can allow public owners to leverage infrastructure construction budgets and spread financing over longer terms and multiple projects, but the concessionaire typically carries substantial risk and burden. P3 projects also often involve a form of performance guarantee with monetary incentives or penalties tied to asset availability and performance after completion. P3 and PubliC Works P3 projects are an appropriate choice for many kinds of public works infrastructure projects. Typical P3 projects include traditional infrastructure such as utilities, transportation and transit projects that generate toll revenues, and social infrastructure projects in healthcare, education and justice systems. The driving force behind its increasing consideration by public agencies? P3 can deliver better value for the money by focusing on the core competencies of private sector enterprise focusing asset development goals on long-term “life cycle” costs including extended operations and maintenance life, and allocating risk to the party best able to manage it. While the P3 delivery method includes greater and more extended risk for the concessionaire and contractor, if the contract terms and price reflect the risks fairly, P3 can offer them large projects, more control, fewer competitors and often a best-value, qualitative element to the bid selection process.
