To help meet California's massive infrastructure needs, Governor Schwarzenegger is proposing that California grant the state and local governments broad authority to use public-private partnerships, or "performance-based infrastructure"(PBI) where that method can potentially help California design, build, finance, operate or maintain its infrastructure better, faster or for less. The Governor is calling on the state to pass legislation to:
- Expand the types of projects, services and government entities that can enter into PBI arrangements.
- Increase contracting flexibility so the state can better negotiate with potential contractors.
- Establish "PBI California,"a center for excellence to help determine which projects can benefit from PBI, represent the state in negotiations with PBI participants, ensure transparency and monitor performance.
Fortunately, here are many other nations, including Canada, that have extensive experience using public-private partnerships across a range of sectors from whom we can learn.
Come hear leading Canadian experts talk about the challenges they faced bringing a disparate group of stakeholders to consensus, the obstacles overcome, and the lessons learned. Their successes and experiences with PPPs can help us decide whether these tools make sense for California.
