PennDOT Accepting Unsolicited Public-Private Partnership Proposals Until April 30

PennDOT Accepting Unsolicited Public-Private Partnership Proposals Until
April 30

4/3/2018-HARRISBURG

The PennDOT Office of Public-Private Partnerships (P3) today announced that
it
is accepting unsolicited proposals for transportation projects from the
private
sector through April 30.

The submission period applies to PennDOT-owned projects and infrastructure.

During this period, the private sector can submit proposals offering
innovative
ways to deliver transportation projects across a variety of modes including

roads, bridges, rail, aviation and ports. Proposals can also include more
efficient models to manage existing transportation-related services and
programs.

The private sector may also submit applications for non-PennDOT owned
assets
directly to the P3 board during this time. Transportation entities outside
of
the governor's jurisdiction, such as transit authorities, may establish
their
own timelines or accept proposals year-round. Unsolicited proposals are
being
accepted through 11:59 PM on April 30. Instructions on how to submit a
project
and information on the unsolicited proposal review process can be found on
the
state's P3 website, www.P3forPA.com.

The state's P3 law allows PennDOT and other transportation authorities and
commissions to partner with private companies to participate in delivering,

maintaining and financing transportation-related projects.

As part of the P3 law, the seven-member Public Private Transportation
Partnership Board was appointed to examine and approve potential
public-private
transportation projects. If the board determines a state operation would be

more cost-effectively administered by a private company, the company will
be
authorized to submit a proposal and enter into a contract to either
completely
or partially take over that operation for a defined period of time.

The next unsolicited proposal period will occur in October. To learn more

P3 in Pennsylvania, including active projects, visit www.P3forPA.gov.
