The Problem

 

States, local governments and municipalities are severely constrained to meet the increasing demands for services. Their problems includes lack of public funds, aging infrastructure assets, and a need to meet increased capacity required to handle growing populations and usage. The traditional approach of relying on public grants and increasing taxes is neither acceptable nor available in today’s economic and political conditions. The choice of options must be expanded through alternative project delivery and financing approaches in order to solve these tremendous challenges.

The Solution

 

Public Private Partnerships (PPP) provide a menu of structures that can improve infrastructure project delivery and create conditions for alternative financing approaches. PPP arrangements can vary from a simple design-build contract to the lease of a private facility, with many variations in between. Contracting options can utilize integrated contracting methods, with long term financing and longer term commitments to pricing and performance. “Single source” responsibility is a hallmark of PPPs which can reduce cost, time and disputes.

 

Procurement “process changes” available in PPPs can also produce significant savings in time and cost, and still maintain an open, competitive and transparent process. PPPs can attract new funding sources and improve project delivery methods and timing, by utilizing innovative financing and integrated contracting methods. PPPs also offer opportunities to maximum innovations and improve efficiencies offered by the private sector. P3C assists the public sector entities and also private sector teams in choosing, structuring and implementing PPPs.
