Why Public-Private Partnerships?

P3 Seeks to Achieve 5 Primary Goals • Provides capacity improvements much sooner than

a traditional pay-as-you go approach • Eliminates project phasing and advances the overall

project • Capitalizes on the private sector’s innovation and

access to capital markets• Transfers of appropriate risk items to private

partner• Enhances long-term, lifecycle cost efficiency and

service quality 6

FDOT’s P3 Legal Framework

Legal Framework Provides Strong Creditworthiness • P3 Law originally enacted in 1991 - provides flexibility to advance

projects while implementing safeguards • Authorizes FDOT to advance projects programmed in the 5-

year work program or 10-year SIS• Requires cost effectiveness and public-benefit analysis • Authorizes performance-based payments to private sector • Annual payments on multi-year P3s are prioritized ahead of

new capacity • Strong market acceptance of FDOT’s legal framework • I-595 and Port of Miami Tunnel

P3 Financial Controls

Financial Controls Provide For Strong Creditworthiness

• Statutory requirements promote fiscal responsibility • Governor and legislative approval of contractor financed projects • 20% limitation on debt and debt like obligations • 15% limitation on P3s• Submittal of 5-year work program to the Legislature annually • Budget requests are balanced to available resources

• Proven track record of effectively managing the work program as revenue forecasts change

Proposer May Use A System of Financing Tools

10

TIFIA A form of debt – like a bank loan Federal credit assistance May be subordinate to other debt Long-term or short-term financing Interest rate is tied to US Treasury FDOT submitted a letter of interest January

2013

PABs A form of debt - like Industrial

Development Bonds Long-term financing Tax exempt bonds issued by government SAFETEA-LU authorized up to $15 billion

Private Equity – “skin in the game” Proposer’s contribution toward the project Will be required within the capital

structure Used with debt At risk until the end of the project term Lost in the event of contractor default

Bank Debt A form of debt Financing from commercial banks Short-term financing - 5 to 7 years

Private Activity Bonds (PABs)

Only $7.2B of the $15B Allocation is Remaining

• $15B cap on PABs used to deliver highway and freight transfer facilities • Exempt facility bonds – not subject to state volume caps

• FDOT wishes to submit an application to secure a PABs allocation from US DOT• Estimated allocation request = $800M to $1.5B• Conduit issuer is a key player in application process

• PABs are an important financing mechanism for proposers • Limited financial capacity in current bank debt markets• PABs provide proposers with access to tax-exempt interest rates
