AIS brings insight, expertise, and solutions to all phases of an APD project s lifecycle to help its clients achieve: Favorable debt terms Competitive Bids Successful Project Management APD Risk, Risk Allocation, and Risk Transfer APD has introduced innovative contractual structures for flexible risk allocation and increased risk transfer to the infrastructure market. There are many variations of the APD model which transfer various levels of risk and responsibility to the private sector, including: Design-Build-Finance (DBF), Design-Build-Finance- Maintain (DBFM) and Design-Build-Finance-Maintain-Operate (DBFMO). When leveraged appropriately, the APD risk transfer model is mutually beneficial to both the public and private sector and is the main driver of a project s Value for Money. However, the increased focus on risk transfer also necessitates greater complexity in the procurement, negotiation, and delivery of APD projects, thereby enhancing the need for a risk advisor with the necessary expertise and market leading APD experience. Proper risk identification, allocation, and mitigation are the key for ensuring successful APD projects as project efficiency is maximized when risks are held by the stakeholder best able to manage them.

Concession Agreement Review Tool The appropriate allocation of project risks to the party most capable of managing or mitigating them is critical to the successful completion of an APD project. Aon s Concession Agreement Review Tool (CART) is a global database of concession agreements, with particular focus on critical risk transfer clauses and requirements. The concession database provides market intelligence on current commercial terms, including which party is responsible for which project risks. The database includes a checklist that not only systematically defines and describes key clauses but offers market standards based on historical APD projects. CART provides a systematic approach to assessing risk transfer provisions between the public sponsor and concessionaire, and empowers clients to leverage data when negotiating concession agreement terms. Risk Mitigation Program Design Once all project risks have been identified and allocated, AIS advises clients on the most cost-effective risk solutions for an APD project. An effective risk management program will have (1) well-considered performance security requirements that ensure asset completion and performance, (2) the necessary level of liquidity during the construction phase, and (3) forward-looking, cost-effective, insurance program requirements. A strong risk advisor facilitates a cost-efficient risk management program that drives savings by avoiding unnecessary risk contingencies. Client Advocacy As a trusted advisor, AIS will act as a strong advocate on behalf of our client throughout the project procurement process to ensure the client s desired risk transfer positions are well communicated and understood by all project stakeholders. As necessary, AIS will engage public sector stakeholders to advocate, explicate and negotiate the desired positions of our client. How Can Aon Influence Debt Financing and Project Bids? Aon s risk advisory services and extensive experience and expertise in construction and APD can guide a client s efforts to reduce the project and contractor risk profile a key to achieving favorable debt terms. Additionally, Aon s unmatched understanding of the performance security market will ensure cost-efficient contractor supports. Aon can directly support client efforts in achieving lower debt terms as well as improving liquidity of performance security and, thereby, reduce the requirement to place a high proportion of its Letter of Credit (LC) line at risk. Fully collateralized performance security vehicles, such as LCs, can negatively impact a client s balance sheet and reduce working capital potential. Achieving project confidence in the lending community while minimizing the balance sheet impact to the client is a vital goal to ensuring the project is mutually beneficial and operationally feasible for all participants. Moreover, achieving innovative performance security that provides the adequate level of liquidity needed to ensure an optimal credit rating at a lower cost will reduce project costs and, accordingly, enhance bid competitiveness.
