  2. Executive Summary • Executive Summary • The $2.1B I-4 Ultimate Project is the top priority for the state of Florida • The Project is being advanced using a Public-Private Partnership (P3) under Section 334.30, F.S. (P3 Law) • A system of financing tools guarantee the lowest cost: • Private Activity Bonds (PABs) • TIFIA • If PABs are used for the project, a conduit issuer is needed to issue bonds • This can be accomplished through an interlocal agreement between Orange County, Seminole County and City of Orlando FDOT facilitates use of tools since administered by US DOT

  3. Project Overview • $2.1B (FY2013$) Strategic Initiative for Florida • 21+ miles from West of Kirkman Road (Orange) to East of SR 434 (Seminole) • Project replaces aging infrastructure and enhances safety • Relieves congestion in heavily populated areas of Florida

  6. Why Public-Private Partnerships? • P3 Seeks to Achieve 5 Primary Goals • Provides capacity improvements much sooner than a traditional pay-as-you go approach • Eliminates project phasing and advances the overall project • Capitalizes on the private sector’s innovation and access to capital markets • Transfers of appropriate risk items to private partner • Enhances long-term, lifecycle cost efficiency and service quality

  7. FDOT’s P3 Legal Framework • Legal Framework Provides Strong Creditworthiness • P3 Law originally enacted in 1991 - provides flexibility to advance projects while implementing safeguards • Authorizes FDOT to advance projects programmed in the 5-year work program or 10-year SIS • Requires cost effectiveness and public-benefit analysis • Authorizes performance-based payments to private sector • Annual payments on multi-year P3s are prioritized ahead of new capacity • Strong market acceptance of FDOT’s legal framework • I-595 and Port of Miami Tunnel

  8. P3 Financial Controls • Financial Controls Provide For Strong Creditworthiness • Statutory requirements promote fiscal responsibility • Governor and legislative approval of contractor financed projects • 20% limitation on debt and debt like obligations • 15% limitation on P3s • Submittal of 5-year work program to the Legislature annually • Budget requests are balanced to available resources • Proven track record of effectively managing the work program as revenue forecasts change

  9. Public-Private Partnership (P3) • Appropriation-Based Funds Finance the Project • Milestone Payments • Payments made during construction period • Incentivizes accomplishment of construction priorities • Reduces the amount of financing • Credit enhancement • 35-years of Performance-Based Availability Payments • Operations and maintenance period payments • Incentivizes: • On time completion of project • Construction quality • Level of service / Maintenance • Repays long-term debt, equity, operations and maintenance costs, renewal work costs • 100% of payment must be performance based to ensure incentives are achieved • Final Acceptance Payments • Post construction payments • Incentivizes on time completion of project • Repays short-term financing • Credit enhancement

  10. Public-Private Partnership (P3) • Proposer May Use A System of Financing Tools • TIFIA • A form of debt – like a bank loan • Federal credit assistance • May be subordinate to other debt • Long-term or short-term financing • Interest rate is tied to US Treasury • FDOT submitted a letter of interest January 2013 • Bank Debt • A form of debt • Financing from commercial banks • Short-term financing - 5 to 7 years • Private Equity – “skin in the game” • Proposer’s contribution toward the project • Will be required within the capital structure • Used with debt • At risk until the end of the project term • Lost in the event of contractor default • PABs • A form of debt - like Industrial Development Bonds • Long-term financing • Tax exempt bonds issued by government • SAFETEA-LU authorized up to $15 billion

  11. Private Activity Bonds (PABs) • Only $7.2B of the $15B Allocation is Remaining • $15B cap on PABs used to deliver highway and freight transfer facilities • Exempt facility bonds – not subject to state volume caps • FDOT wishes to submit an application to secure a PABs allocation from US DOT • Estimated allocation request = $800M to $1.5B • Conduit issuer is a key player in application process • PABs are an important financing mechanism for proposers • Limited financial capacity in current bank debt markets • PABs provide proposers with access to tax-exempt interest rates
