2011 Travis County General Obligation Bonds:
Guidelines for Public/Private Partnerships For Transportation Projects
Overview
Travis County anticipates calling an election in November 2011 to authorize issuance of general obligation bonds. The County is soliciting written proposals from private parties to pay for road projects with a combination of County bond funding and private funding. Leveraging public and private funds helps achieve economies of scale to expand the capacity of the roadway network in areas where new development is anticipated.
In a public/private partnership, an private party may contract for the engineering and construction of a road segment and be reimbursed by the County for a share of the costs; or the County may contract for the engineering and construction of the road segment and pay for a share of the costs with funds contributed by a private party.
