8. Please describe the process for delivering the project from concept through the completion of construction.
a. What is the general length of time from project concept to completion and how does this compare with public sector-delivered projects?
b. What phases of the project (e.g., project concept, environmental analysis, design, right-of-way acquisition, construction, finance, operation and maintenance) are normally handled by the public and private sectors?
c. How do you handle environmental compliance for public-private partnership projects in which the public investment is limited or nonexistent? Is this an issue? Is it the same or different than projects with substantial public funding?
