
A “vision” – the seed of any PPP – is nothing unless it’s…
 Supported – There needs to be a “champion” behind the PPP!
 Articulated – Precisely what is that you want/need to achieve and why?
 Shared – Equally understood and embraced by both/all partners.
 Sustained – “Durable” enough to survive, even if/as stakeholders change.

 Not a replacement for traditional procurement methods.
Simply “another tool in the tool box” that encourages creativity, helping define problem statements and craft corresponding business solutions (beyond just “bricks and mortar”).
 Need not exist only when private-sector financing is involved.
Consider as means of overcoming common project constraints:
 Time – Achieve faster delivery (can be 25% to 50% sooner), critical for meeting internally or externally-driven deadlines.
 Dollars – Reduce cost through efficiencies gained by turnkey/streamlined delivery.
 Staff – Overcome human resource constraints (privatizing “noncore” operations, if need be).
 Risk – Outsource to achieve appropriate allocation/balance of risk among project partners.

 If private-sector financing is involved, candidate project must:
 Have dedicated revenue stream associated with it;
 Involve some sort of in-kind exchange , such as surplus land for private development;
 Provide opportunity for tax-increment financing (or similar); and/or,
 Provide opportunity to “monetize” existing assets of public sector partner
(for example, sale-leaseback transactions).

 Balance program objectives with resource realities, promoting creative solutions through bundled delivery .
 Increase flexibility and speed of delivery , overcoming constraints borne of traditional procurement process.
 Take more strategic approach toward debt management and planning of capital projects, mitigating construction/operating cost escalation and preserving borrowing capacity for core facilities .
