AI Summary

This bill aims to encourage the development and operation of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) for Social Infrastructure projects. It establishes an Office of Public Facility Investment to assist jurisdictions and public entities in identifying and implementing PPP projects, provide technical assistance, and promote best practices. The bill also creates a task force to develop uniform processes for reviewing, evaluating, and delivering PPP projects. It allows responsible public entities to utilize various project delivery methods, such as design-build and concession agreements, for qualifying projects while exempting them from certain competitive bidding requirements. The bill outlines the procurement process for solicited and unsolicited proposals, including requirements for public notice, evaluation criteria, and independent audits for larger projects. It also provides details on the contents of interim and comprehensive agreements between public entities and private partners, as well as eligible funding and financing options.
