This Public-Private Partnership Procurement Guide has been developed in coordination with the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) Build America Bureau, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to provide advanced guidance on procedures, issues, and considerations involved in public-private partnership (P3) procurement of surface transportation projects, in particular for highway and transit investments.

This Guidebook is for transportation professionals interested in concepts and skills needed to finance transportation projects using a P3 approach. The Guidebook also describes many standard techniques used to conduct P3 financial assessments.

Risk assessment is one of the inputs to the quantitative analysis in value for money assessment. This guidebook provides a detailed follow-on to the P3 Toolkit primer on Risk Assessment for Public-Private Partnerships and covers more challenging and advanced risk assessment topics. It is designed to enhance the overall understanding of the relationship between risk assessment and value for money analysis and to provide hands-on guidance for practitioners in the field.

This webpage provides guidance on the use of Federal-aid highway funds for predevelopment costs. Predevelopment costs include those associated with activities that provide decision-makers the opportunity to identify, assess, and modify potential infrastructure projects and modifications to existing infrastructure projects, and to advance those projects from the conceptual phase to actual construction. These early phase activities are particularly important in identifying opportunities for public-private collaboration in the financing and delivery of infrastructure projects.
