What is PPA? A Project Partnership Agreement is a legally binding agreement between the Federal government and a non-Federal sponsor (state, municipal government, flood control district, port authority, etc.) for construction of a water resources project. The PPA describes the project and the responsibilities of the Government and the non-Federal sponsor in the cost sharing and execution of project work.
Models: To streamline project implementation and still achieve national consistency, policy compliance, legal sufficiency, and equitable treatment of project sponsors, the Corps has developed models for use in development of individual project specific agreements (PPAs, Feasibility Cost Sharing Agreements, and Design Agreements, etc.). For each model posted there are links for: 1) the History and Applicability of the model that describes when the model should be used and documents the original approval date and a summary of each revision and 2) the Implementation Memo that specifies the approval authority and signature authority for a project specific agreement developed using that model.
Forms and Guidance: See these links for forms and guidance (Checklists, Self-Certification, Engineering Regulations, Engineering Circulars, etc.) needed to prepare an agreement review package.
PPA Class Info: See this link for information on the upcoming PPA classes and slides from the previous PROSPECT Development of PPAs Class.
What’s New: Added Section 219, Section 593, and Section 595 models.
