Public-Private Partnerships: New Authority and New Rules for Construction and Infrastructure Projects

Regular/Walk In: $50
Early Bird (if you registered before May 15th): $35
The recently enacted Senate Bill 4, part of the California Budget Legislation provides greatly expanded authority for public-private partnership ("PPP") projects by state and local government agencies. In addition, the Federal Stimulus Bill provides additional sources of funding for such projects. The use of the PPP structure is expected to accelerate dramatically in coming years for both infrastructure and general construction projects. The new state rules and regulations present opportunities and challenges for public agencies, developers and contractors alike in structuring and performing PPP projects. Join our panel to learn more about the process, and the special risks and rewards of getting involved in PPP projects.
