Performance Based Contracts: Concepts and Financial Assessment
Abstract:
The lecture will introduce the basic concepts and applications of performance based contracts to infrastructure projects (e.g., roads, waterways). It will discuss the need to carry out PBC financial assessments and will present a recently developed model to carry out such assessments. Topics to be covered include:
- Performance-based Contracts (PBC) concept, classification, comparisons
- Contractor’s and Employer’s responsibilities
- Performance measures to define service level
- World Bank Standard Procurement Document for Output- and Performance-Based Road Contract (OPBRC)
- Risk sharing between the public and private sectors
- A model for PBC financial assessment
- An interactive demonstration of the model
The lecture will be especially interesting for scholars and students interested in Public-Private Partnerships, Built Environment and Infrastructure Project Financing.
