• Technical competency

• We do not use PPPs

• As [DOT] has not used PPPs, these are anticipated levels of use if PPPs are considered.

• Agency would use all tools if/when P3 proposals actively considered

• None are currently applicable in [State], as we don't currently consider PPP proposals.

• Not currently considering a PPP

• Can not respond due to minimal use of PPPs.

• Have not engaged in PPPs to date

• To date we have used all or some form of combination of these tolls for our internal vetting purposes as well as for external reporting requirements of [mandate].

• Rated all N/A because we have not evaluated a proposal.

• Haven't considered highway related PPP's to any extent therefore have not had occasion to assess this question.
