Public Private Partnership Projects
Alberta P3 Philosophy
• P3 projects must demonstrate value for money
• Risk transferred to the party best able to manage it
• Agreement terms and technical requirements set before bids are submitted
• No negotiation after submission of bids
Risk Allocation - Construction
Risk Allocation - Operations
Challenges:Quality Management
• Implementation of contractor’s quality plan– staff with appropriate experience and qualifications
– clearly defined roles for quality control and quality assurance
– authority for quality management team to affect construction operations
– contractor’s ability to make adjustments as required
• Design and construction issues– meeting technical requirements
– addressing non-conformance
– rejection versus modification
– garnering support from consortium level
Challenges:Fast-Track Design-Build
• Ensure it is designed before it is built
• Everything is on fast-track schedule
• Designs are completed and submitted in sub-elements
Challenges:Regulatory Approvals For River Crossing
• Completed some preliminary engineering for river crossings during Functional Planning Study
• Met with Department of Fisheries and Oceans and Transport Canada well in advance of issuing RFQ
• Incorporated regulatory review and input during RFP process
• Expedited contractor’s ability to obtain regulatory approval for construction
Challenges:Utilities within Project Limits
• Completed Hydrovac exposure of all underground utilities (approximately 500) and made information available to proponents during RFP phase
• Existing utility agreements made available to proponents
• Contractor required to coordinate relocations with their work
• Getting utility crossing agreement with several different companies for construction phase
• Shared risk for cost of utility relocations– up to $120 million borne by contractor– from $120 to $160 million shared 50/50 with department– beyond $160 million shared 25/75 with department
Challenges:Agreements with Railway Companies
• Initiated discussions with CP Rail and CN Rail well in advance of issuing RFQ
• Agreement reached on cost apportionment
• Objective to have railway agreements signed and available to proponents during RFP phase
Challenges:Traffic Management During Construction
• Projects include reconstruction of existing freeway and interchanges
• Significant traffic disruptions occur over full duration of project
• RFP included requirements to submit construction management plan along with staging analysis
Challenges:Public Communications
• Multiple stakeholders
• Public expectations– open house/information sessions
– traffic advisories
– addressing complaints
