California Transp. System
California’s system is one of the largest
and most complex in the country
California Roadways          SHS      Local

Lane-Miles                   50,500   303,000

Transp. Financing in CA
• Federal Hwy Trust Fund in Crisis
  – Near Insolvent & Bailed Out Several
    Times
  – Reduced Federal Funding
  – Reduced Buying Power

• Between 2008-35 Current Policies only
  meets…
  – 44% of Maintenance needs
  – 36% of Improvements needs
Current Legislation
  Senate Bill 4 (SBX2 4)
• Authorizes Caltrans and Regional
  Transportation Agencies to implement P3
  Projects
• Transportation Projects include
  Highways, Transit and Rail
• No Limit on Number of Projects
• Established Public Infrastructure Advisory
  Commission (PIAC)
• Sunsets January 1, 2017
P3 Program Update
The Department’s Goal:
Develop a program that is fully integrated as a
sustainable element of project delivery process

Objectives
  • Leverage Existing Funding
  • Accelerate Project Delivery
  • Transfer Prudent Risk to Private Sector
  • Capture Private Sector Innovation
  • Promote Life Cycle Efficiencies/Performance
  • Create Competitive Tension to Drive Value
  • Spur Economic Growth
P3 Program Activities
• Play a leadership role to enable projects
   – Create transparent standards for implementation
   – Share best practices
• Maintain close alignment with Regional
  Transportation Authorities
   – Leverage relationships for successful P3s
• Build a strong P3 organization
  – Integrated with the rest of Caltrans
• Enhance outreach and relationship building
   – Develop P3 implementation guidelines
   – P3 technical specs library & Issue Papers
Emerging Pipeline…
Consists of Projects that:
  •   meet a high-priority transportation need;
  •   enjoy significant public and political support;
  •   have or soon will have achieved sufficient environmental
      readiness;
  •   show the promise of greater value – including speed of
      delivery – than conventional procurement; and
  •   have the potential to generate revenue or enhance program
      capacity through better leverage or other means.

Categories in Pipeline – depend on the level of
progress and effort towards P3 delivery
  •   level one (low readiness) through
  •   level four (in procurement)
Pipeline P3 Projects
• I-710 Freight Corridor ($6.7 billion)
  (Add two dedicated truck lanes in each direction as well as
  one mixed flow lane in each direction, between the Ports of
  Los Angeles and Long Beach and State Route 60, near
  downtown Los Angeles. Additionally, several interchanges
  along this corridor will be improved.)

• I-710 Tunnel ($4.5 to $9 billion)
  (Gap closure to connect I-710 to I-210 and is considered
  critical to improving traffic and air quality in the area.
  Additionally, this gap closure will alleviate traffic on several
  local and interstate freeways.)

• High Desert Corridor ($2.5 billion)
  Add a four- and six-lane new freeway/highway as well as
  widen some segments to eight lanes [including one HOV
  lane in each direction].
Pipeline P3 Projects
• MTC Express Lane Network ($6 billion)
  (Expand mobility options by creating a seamless
  800-mile network of unobstructed lanes to provide a
  faster commute for travelers who use them.)

• Route 101 Doyle Drive (Presidio Parkway)
  ($954 million)
  (Replace existing Doyle Drive facility, constructed in
  1936-1937, with a new six-lane facility. The Project
  will improve the seismic, structural, and traffic
  safety of this roadway which serves over 120,000
  vehicles per day.)
Other Opportunities…

• OCTA I-405 Managed Lanes

• SANDAG SR 11 Otay Mesa

• SR 152 Freight Corridor
Presidio Parkway P3 Project
KEY DATES:
• Issued RFQ on February 2, 2010
• Shortlist Announcement on April 8, 2010
• Issued Draft RFP on May 25, 2010
• Proposals Due September 2010
• Notice of Intent to Award - October 2010
• Submission of final Agreement to PIAC and
  Legislature pursuant to Section 143(c)(5)
• Award and Execution of Agreement – Jan 3, 2011
• Financial Close Delayed by Litigation
Presidio Parkway P3 Project
Presidio Parkway P3 Project




• Replace deficient facility • New tunnels
• Wide landscaped            • New direct access to
  median                       Presidio Parkway
• Continuous shoulders
Presidio Parkway P3 Project
Example of P3s in US
North Tarrant Expressway (Dallas-FW)
 • Term of Concession agreement: 52 years
 • Existing Volumes: up to 200,000 vehicles per day

 Scope of Work:
 • Design, construct, finance, maintain, and operate
   13 miles of roadway (~169 lane-miles)

 Improvement include:
 • Reconstruction of General Purpose Lanes (GPL)
   and frontage roads
 • Addition of 2/3 Managed Lanes per direction
 • Addition of 1 GPL per direction in segment 1
Example of P3s in US
LBJ Expressway (Dallas-FW)
 • Term of Concession agreement: 52 years
 • Existing Volumes: up to 270,000 veh per day

 Scope of Work:
 • Design, construct, finance, maintain, and operate
   17 miles of roadway (~185 lane-miles)

 Improvement include:
 • Reconstruction of the IH-635 GPL & frontage roads
 • Addition of 3 below surface ML per direction on
   IH635
 • Addition of 3 elevated ML along I-35E with direct
   connectors
Example of P3s in US
                    NTE      LBJ

Total Investment:
                    $2.05b   $2.7b
Private Equity:
                    $427m    $665m
Total Debt:
                    $1.05b   $1.47b
•PABs:              $400m    $615m
•TIFIA:             $650m    $850m

Public Funds:
                    $537m    $496m
Challenges…
•Valuation of Alternative Approaches
•Appropriate Risk Transfer
•Transparency and Public Participation
•Unavoidable Complexity of Transactions
•Perceptions …needing correction
 • Non-compete clauses are always part of P3s
 • A PPP is a synonym for tolls and with that toll
   increases are inevitable…windfall profits.
 • The public sector loses total control of the
   facility
Conclusion…
• Infrastructure funding and delivery will
  continue to lag behind need
• P3s are not cure all solutions and not
  applicable to all projects
• P3s will not solve the serious lack of
  infrastructure funding
• P3s are necessary tools for infrastructure
  delivery now and in the future
