Legal Framework Ensures Creditworthiness
Florida Department of Transportation5
• Authority for availability payment deals introduced in 2007 statutes
• 15% of federal and state funding cap, cost effectiveness analysis
• Availability payments prioritized ahead of new capacity projects
• Further controls introduced in 2012
• Approval by Governor following Legislature review
• Inclusion in State Transportation Trust Fund debt assessment
• Additionally, portions of P3 payments are included in the Division of Bond Finance Debt Affordability Report
Why has FDOT pursued P3s?
• Both DBF and DBFOM:
– Advance priority projects that add capacity,
enhance safety and reduce congestion
– Additional sources of capital via private sector
• DBFOM procurement method further
incentivizes private sector innovation
• DBFOM contract transfers appropriate risks
through construction and operations
• Toll revenue risk has not been transferred
with FDOT’s P3s
