Project Selection

7. Please describe the process used to identify and assess potential projects for the program.

a. What processes do you use for valuation of potential projects?

b. Do you use a "public sector comparator?" If so, is it required for each project? Is it revisited after the project is complete?

c. What is the normal concession period (number of years) and how is it determined?

d. Do you use public-private partnerships on smaller projects with local jurisdictions?

e. How does the project selection relate to the overall transportation planning process (e.g., land use, economic development, environmental)?
