The new Spanish Concessions Act (Law 13/2003 regulating concession contracts in public works) establishes a new legal framework, whose

main characteristics are as follows:

It maintains the basic concept of concessions, extending the concession model to all public works and to all levels of public

administration and public bodies dependent thereon.

It provides that public subsidies may be cash and non-cash contributions.

It provides the possibility of using the “shadow toll” system and cross-funding for different public works provided.

Page 15: 9TH CONFERENCE ON COMPETITION AND OWNERSHIP IN LAND TRANSPORT

It provides the obligation to restore the economic equilibrium when this is substantially altered (either way).

It regulates the following concession-funding systems: issues of bonds and other securities, securitisation of assets, concession mortgages and equity

credits.

It sets a maximum period of 40 years for concessions for construction and operation of public works, and 20 years for operating concessions.

It provides a very interesting clause: the progress clause, which will be remarked on in detail below

Page 16: 9TH CONFERENCE ON COMPETITION AND OWNERSHIP IN LAND TRANSPORT

An innovation in the new regulations of particular significance to infrastructure users is the so-called

progress clause, included in article 244.4.

Furthermore, the Act provides for the introduction in concession specifications of mechanisms for

measuring and assessing the quality of service offered by the licensee to the infrastructure users.

PARTICIPANTS ROLE

Construction groups

Partner in the concession generally with leadership through the construction group’s concession company

Construction and even installations

Rolling-stock manufacturers

As partners, they supply the rolling stock and are responsible for its integration

As suppliers, possibly belonging to the supply joint venture with the construction company

Operators

Their presence as partners is not usual in Spain but guarantees experience and involvement in the long term

The great importance of construction groups in Spain causes operators to remain as subcontractors

Financiers and banks

They supply the capital and financial guarantee

They are normally little involved in the formation of the business

They may be involved only as advisors on financial arrangements

The periods for preparing bids.

In the case of Seville, the lack of homogeneity in the passenger fares proposed by the bidders was a problem in the award process, as it was difficult to compare the bids. Other aspects were:

The bid preparation costs were very high, owing largely to the architecture projects.

The equity credits were not particularly attractive.

Lack of homogeneity in the technical proposals.

The fare set in the Malaga metro tender process for use by all bidders was €0.72 excluding VAT.

The fact that there was only one bidder in the tender processes for the Santa Cruz de Tenerife light rail transit and TranBessos in Barcelona.

Though the project is now past the tender stage, we should note the problems in the working of the concession

company because of disputes between partners with very diverse interests.

Finally it is worth noting the delay in the tenders for the light rail transits in Madrid due to uncertainty about the

management and finance system.

This section makes a comparative analysis of investment costs in several European and Spanish cities. The conclusions are as follows:

The available investment data for France show that construction costs there are three times higher than in Spain.

In Spain the project with highest costs is the one in Seville, because of the longer underground section.

The project development periods are very variable but are normally 10 to 20 years. The case of Seville is exceptional in that it began in the 70s as a public

development and ended up as a BOT project.

Yearly passenger investment is high; the lowest levels are in the two projects in Barcelona.
