Implementing an Airport P3 P A R T I I Part II follows the project development lifecycle for a P3 project. Each chapter covers a dif- ferent phase, from project planning and procurement through financial close and operations. The graphic in Figure 5 names each chapter in this section and highlights the major topics covered in each. The graphic in Figure 5 recurs at the beginning of Chapters 4 to 9 to help readers locate themselves in the project delivery lifecycle. While it may be useful to a P3 novice to read this part of the guidebook in a linear format, the research team recognizes that airport practitioners operate in a dynamic environment, and P3 efforts may be already underway. To that end, the P3 Readiness Assessment is designed to help a practitioner evaluate their airport’s institutional capacity for P3 implementation and suggests chapters, topics, and case studies (see Appendix C) that will fit the practitioner’s unique circum- stances. The P3 Readiness Assessment can be accessed at https://www.acrp-p3readiness.org/.
