How are Public Private Partnerships 
(P3’s) helping America Achieve Success 
by Leveraging Best Practices Through 
PARTNERSHIP 
And what are some of the Best 
Practices associated with this 
delivery model?
Agenda 
• What is AIAI (a brief commercial) 
• Review of the Infrastructure Deficit 
• What are P’3s – Fundamentals 
• Best Practices (AIAI and General) 
• Q&A
WHAT IS AIAI
AIAI Mission
AIAI Objective 
• We believe effective and well planned advocacy can 
provide government officials with the knowledge they 
need to make informed decisions about all the benefits 
of Public Private Partnership-economic development, life 
cycle cost savings, risk transfer and accelerated project 
delivery. We intend to work towards the following: 
– Clear and reliable project pipeline 
– Achieving a consistent approach for both civil and social projects 
– Early awareness of legislative & administrative issues for members 
– Clarity of procurement processes
AIAI Initiatives 
• The AIAI’s early initiatives include the following: 
– New Legislation. Shape and urge passage of new P3 Legislation at the 
State level for both transportation and social infrastructure projects. 
– Facilitative Implementation. Assist and guide agencies and 
stakeholders on the implementation of existing P3 legislation. 
– Best Practices. Coordinate with the National Conference of State 
Legislators (NCSL) and National Governors Association’s to implement 
best P3 practices. 
– Creative Tax Solutions. Implement innovative solutions on important 
P3 tax issues, such as preservation of depreciation on toll roads. 
– Institutionalized Processes. Institutionalize P3’s to create more 
concise processes, procedures and documentation to increase deal 
flow and gain efficiency. 
– Informed Decision Making. Advocate for an informed decision making 
process and stipend recovery program in situations where P3 projects 
are cancelled.
The Infrastructure Deficit
Infrastructure Deficit 
• Overall Rating – D+ (American Society of Civil Engineers – 2013 
Report Card) 
• Value of Deficit - $3.6 Trillion needed by 2020 
(American Society of Civil Engineers – 2013 Report Card) 
• Sample Categories 
 Aviation & Ports 
 Transit 
 Bridges 
 Dams 
 Drinking Water 
 Energy 
 Rail & Roads
Deficient Bridge Infrastructure
Transit Funding Gap
Infrastructure Deficit 
• P3’s are only one delivery solution to the 
infrastructure deficit (20% +/-) 
• There are many others: 
– Design/Build 
– Hard Bid 
– CM to GC 
– Early Contractor Involvement 
– Sole source
What are P3’s & How do they Work?
P3 – Public – Private Partnership 
• A combination of the most unlikely partners: 
– Putting together 
• ‘The untrusted, greedy private sector with 
• Government – the arch rival of the private sector noted 
for being over budget and behind schedule’ 
• To create a trusting and collaborative team 
seeking innovation and long term asset value 
• Truly depends on paradigm shift to form a 
partnership
P3 – Public – Private Partnership 
• To be successful: 
– Requires a cultural shift in thinking about the 
relationship between the public and private 
sectors 
– Requires deeper understanding of how the model 
can be successful in delivering infrastructure 
– Requires acceptance and promotion from the top 
- politically and strategically from agency 
management
A P3 is What…? 
• What is a P3 
“Any project that takes on additional responsibility and/or 
liability beyond design and build. This additional liability 
could be, but is not limited to: Operation, maintenance, 
short-term financing, long-term financing, GAP finances, 
tolling and/or fare box risk, ownership in any component of 
the completed project, etc.” 
 Design-Build finance projects 
 Availability payment projects 
 Shadow toll projects 
 Comprehensive Development Agreement (CDA) projects 
 Extended warranty or maintenance projects 
 Tolling and/or traffic and revenue projects

The FHWA - Public-Private 
Partnerships 
• FHWA encourages the consideration of public-private 
partnerships (P3s) in the development of transportation 
improvements. 
• Early involvement of the private sector can bring creativity, 
efficiency, and capital to address complex transportation 
problems facing State and local governments. 
• The Office of IPD (Innovative Program Delivery) provides 
information and expertise in the use of different P3 
approaches, and assistance in using tools including the SEP- 
15 program, private activity bonds (PABs), and the TIFIA 
Federal credit program to facilitate P3 projects

P3 Historical - North America
Best Practices – Lessons Learned – 
Public Sector 
• Know priorities and objectives 
• Understand best financing solution for 
proposed project 
• Clear pre-procurement barriers (legal, 
financial, political and public) 
• Proper risk allocation 
• Form true partnerships with private sector
Best Practices – Lessons Learned – 
Private Sector 
• High cost to pursue – be selective 
• Team early 
• Clear team leadership 
• Goals and objectives clearly defined, but room for innovation 
• Challenge everything, explore alternatives 
• Only enter deals with Transparency and fair procurement process 
• Develop risk allocation matrix – review throughout the bid 
• Public and community relations are critical throughout the process 
• Construction Price (usually) wins the deal
AIAI BEST PRACTICES RECOMMENDATION 
• P3-enabling legislation should be broad-based, providing flexibility in the 
procurement processes that will facilitate submission of innovative and 
comprehensive proposals in support of public infrastructure needs.
AIAI BEST PRACTICES RECOMMENDATION 
P3 legislation should include definitions which are based on 
generally-accepted, industry standards in order to facilitate clarity 
and alignment in the procurement guidelines.
AIAI BEST PRACTICES RECOMMENDATION 
• Proposed P3 legislation should clearly outline public agency procurement 
processes and methodologies for soliciting, reviewing and evaluating 
proposals and selecting teams with which the responsible public entity 
partners to develop public infrastructure.
AIAI BEST PRACTICES RECOMMENDATION 
• The responsible public entity should be authorized to pay a 
stipend to an unsuccessful bidder or proposer 
that has reached the pre-qualified bidder stage.
AIAI BEST PRACTICES RECOMMENDATION 
• In order to generate sufficient and appropriate responses to 
solicitations for proposals for public infrastructure projects, every 
effort should be made to exclude any provision for a submission 
fee.
AIAI BEST PRACTICES RECOMMENDATION 
Securities for P3s are required to satisfy the needs of financial 
institutions, owners, subcontractors and suppliers. A combination of 
both liquid securities and performance and payment bonds provides the 
flexibility needed to reach financial close. Flexibility should be provided 
to require the appropriate level of security.
