Overview
Federal agencies continue to deal with constrained — and sometimes, reduced — budgets that complicate their ability to develop new and improved buildings and infrastructure. Some departments have turned to public-private partnerships (P3) as a solution to this problem and others have begun exploring this opportunity in earnest. There also is optimism that legislative proposals in the House and Senate will encourage and expand the use of P3s throughout the federal government while addressing the challenge of federal budget scoring rules.
Building off of the success of our inaugural event in 2015, NCPPP is proud to present the 2016 Federal P3 Summit. This comprehensive, two-day event will look at federal public-private partnerships and opportunities at departments and agencies such as the Department of Transportation, Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Commerce, Department of Defense and General Services Administration.
Special Sessions on
Project Scoring
Special to this year’s program will be two sessions devoted to perhaps the main obstacle to the wider application of P3s in the federal realm: project scoring. Federal budgetary rules restrict the federal government’s ability to access private capital and expertise through a P3 structure. Reforming these rules would enable the federal government to substantially increase the number and sophistication of project delivery models available to the federal government to address its growing infrastructure development.
As part of a new partnership with the Urban Land Institute, NCPPP is studying prospects for responsible reform of project scoring rules. During these two special Summit sessions, experts will discuss the current scoring rules and identify potential regulatory and statutory solutions.
Who Should Attend
The Summit
The Federal P3 Summit is the perfect opportunity for learning more about federal P3s and the development opportunities that are available. The event will be of particular interest to:
- Federal leaders considering P3s
- Financial advisors
- Construction service professionals
- Management service professionals
- Attorneys
- P3 practitioners
- Engineers and architects
- Designers and building planners
- State and local leaders who have a large federal footprint in their jurisdictions

Implications of the FAST Act for P3s
Enacted in December 2015, the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act, or “FAST Act,” is the first law enacted in more than 10 years that provides long-term funding certainty for surface transportation. Provisions of the law address public-private partnerships through the TIFIA program for transportation projects and the WIFIA program for water and wastewater infrastructure. Learn what’s included in the FAST Act and how it will impact federal transportation and water partnerships.
12:00 pm – 1:15 pm
Lunch Roundtable: Private Sector Perspectives on Federal P3s
Complementary to the public sector perspective that will be presented throughout the Summit, our lunch roundtable will focus solely on the private sector point of view. Officials will talk about what they need from the federal government in order to help make more public-private partnerships happen. These business leaders also will give us their take on where they see federal P3 programs headed and what the presidential election could mean for companies working in — or interested in working in — the federal P3 area.

Introduction to Federal Budget Scoring Issues
The federal budget scoring process is considered one of the primary barriers to the broader use of public-private partnerships throughout the federal government.

As the conference comes to a close, we look at partnerships across the federal spectrum — transportation, military housing, energy, utilities and others — and consider why they have been successful and how the lessons learned can be applied to develop the next generation of federal P3s.
