Conceptual Project Financing Plan. (30% Weighting) The Conceptual Project Financing Plan must constitute a financial plan that includes, at a minimum, proposed sources and uses of funds and projected costs. The Conceptual Project Financing Plan will be evaluated in accordance with the following criteria, taking into account the level of currently available Project information, the wide variety of potential financial and funding solutions and options available for the Project and the time period provided in this RFQ for submission of a QS: • The effectiveness and feasibility of the Conceptual Project Financing Plan and the extent to which the Conceptual Project Financing Plan demonstrates a reasonable basis for projecting costs and funding development, operations and maintenance, including reasonable assumptions; • The extent to which the Conceptual Project Financing Plan includes opportunities and/or tools that minimize state funding and economic contributions and commitments toward Project development; • The extent to which the Conceptual Project Financing Plan presents an effective, efficient and desirable approach to financing of the Project; • The extent to which the Conceptual Project Financing Plan minimizes the financial and project risk of TxDOT and the State of Texas; • The extent to which the Conceptual Project Financing Plan provides for revenue sharing with TxDOT; and • The potential benefits of innovation presented in the Conceptual Project Financing Plan.
Conceptual Project Financing Plan. (a) Conceptual cost estimates in 2005 dollars on Form D. Assume that Segment ABC will be completed by 2013 and the remaining Segments will be completed by 2025. In addition to submitting Form D as part of the hardcopy and PDF versions of the Proposal as described in Section 4.1, submit an electronic version of Form D based on the electronic version supplied by TxDOT. Explain how the conceptual cost estimates were arrived at and the methodology used.
Conceptual Project Financing Plan. The Conceptual Project Financing Plan is expected to be consistent with the Conceptual Project Development Plan, including the phasing/schedule milestones presented. Proposers are encouraged to creatively explore possible private contributions towards financing the Project. Proposers are to use the following assumptions in developing the different elements of the Conceptual Project Financing Plan: • The CDA is awarded and notice to proceed is issued January 2008; • Term of the Concession – 50 year operating period; • Toll rates assumed to be $0.15 per mile in starting operating year; • Toll rates are inflated every five years to reflect the effect of annual inflation; • Full diamond interchange at Conflans Road will be constructed and tolled; • Appropriate traffic ramp-up will be applied to forecasts; and • Unless otherwise indicated, all terms in the Programmatic Term Sheet will apply. Proposers are to include the following elements in the Conceptual Project Financing Plan:
