14PPP Lessons Learned to Date
- New to US market - may not apply to all project
types (transit typically subsidized) - PPP agreements are very complex require
experienced legal and financial advice - Complex construction and systems contracts will
be priced conservatively - Apportion risk appropriately - risk transfer to
private partner will be costly - Dont be prescriptive allow private partner to
be creative - Try to keep competition involved in the process
- Third party involvement is a large factor for
U.S. transactions - Education of stakeholders is required
- Stay flexible
- PPP financing does not solve funding issues for
all projects -
