... 28 This chapter will discuss six case examples chosen to provide a deeper dive into the mechanics of P3 performance metrics. Using structured interviews with project participants permits the analyst to collect not only the "what, when, where, and how" data but, more importantly, the "why" data that provide the background and rationale for decisions made in each particular case.

... Case Examples 31   Summary Overall, this project's metrics seem to have been well developed and provide the necessary standards against which Caltrans is making the required periodic payments associated with the concession agreement, with a minimum of controversy. The need to vet the design criteria within the context of the expected life of the concession agreement seems to be an important finding, which may require future research.

... 34 Performance Metrics for Public–Private Partnerships Summary of the Scope of Work The I-595 Corridor Roadway Improvements project consists of the reconstruction of the I-595 mainline and all associated improvements to frontage roads and ramps from the I-75/ Sawgrass Expressway interchange to the I-595/I-95 interchange, for a total project length along I-595 of approximately 10.5 miles and a design and construction cost of approximately $1.2 billion. Figure 14 shows the braided ramps that were part of the project.

Case Examples 37   Lessons Learned The following bullet items are drawn from a presentation that reviewed the performance of this project after construction was completed and the O&M period had commenced: • "Be flexible in the procurement, contracting, and finance processes. • Secure government and community stakeholders' support.

... 40 Performance Metrics for Public–Private Partnerships Lessons Learned The following was provided by PennDOT regarding the agency's lessons learned: • Asset Selection – Ensure all teams utilize the same consistent criteria for selecting assets. – Consider complexities beyond design and construction (utility, permitting, ROW, traffic impacts)

... 46 Performance Metrics for Public–Private Partnerships Lessons Learned The Concessionaire filed for bankruptcy in 2016, 3 years into the operations phase, as it could not meet loan payments. A major reason for this was that the actual traffic volume was well below projected values and, to this date, remains below the projected volumes.

In all six projects, the performance metrics used were generally perceived to be effective for the purposes of which they were developed.
