Agreements

This section provides access to summaries and analyses of five P3 Agreements. A P3 agreement is the legal document that establishes the rights and obligations of transportation infrastructure owners and the private-sector partners with whom they team to develop P3 projects. P3 agreements describe the service to be provided, standards to be maintained, and the business and financial relationships between public agencies and their private sector partners.

Prepared by the law firm of Nossaman Guthner Knox & Elliott, these profiles use a standard template that identifies a set of 36 key elements and legal issues that are associated with P3 agreements together with the way in which those specific elements have been addressed in the particular project in question. The rational behind this exercise is to identify responses that can serve as models for future P3 agreements.

The templates are arranged in two columns with the key elements and legal issues listed on the left and the project specific responses on the right.
