This program will assist municipal attorneys to transition from the traditional “low-bid” procurement model to the Qualifications Based Selection [QBS] process that is the hallmark of drafting Public-Private-Partnership [P3] offerings. Practitioners will be introduced to the philosophy, rationale and mechanics of drafting P3 procurement documents, including Requests for Expression of Interest [RFEI’s], Requests for Qualification, [RFQ’S], Requests for Proposals [RFP’s] and Requests for Qualifications and Proposals [RFQP’s]. Each procurement model will be defined, differentiated and matched to the project type that is best suited for the particular project requirements. Instructors will delve into the deep base of knowledge and experience program participants have in government procurement, and translate that experience into successful base of P3 knowledge. Participants will leave the program ready to tackle their first, or next P3.
