BACKGROUND: The Public-Private Education Facilities and Infrastructure Act of 2002 (Va. Code § 56-575 et seq.) (“PPEA”) authorizes localities in the State of Virginia to enter into public-private partnership agreements to develop needed projects in a more timely or less costly manner.
The provisions of the Act provide local governments with the opportunity to create public-private partnerships for the development of a wide range of projects for public use if the County of Albemarle determines there is a need for the project and that the private involvement may provide the project to the public in a timely or cost-effective fashion.
On May 9, 2019, draft PPEA Guidelines were presented to the Board for consideration. The Board directed staff to present the Guidelines to the School Board for its adoption, then bring them back to the Board for its adoption. The School Board adopted the attached draft PPEA Guidelines (Attachment A) on May 23, 2019.
STRATEGIC PLAN: To enhance the well-being and quality of life for all citizens through the provision of the highest level of public service consistent with the prudent use of public funds.
DISCUSSION: The attached Guidelines are intended to supplement, and enable the County to comply with, PPEA’s requirements. They shall govern all County PPEA projects, including those for education facilities, and shall apply to all County agencies, boards, commissions, and committees.
