SR 400 Express Lanes: Market Sounding February 27, 2018 K. Joe Carpenter, Jr., P.E. Director of P3 Georgia Department of Transportation Photo: SR 400 N at Abernathy Hello and brief introduction. Today I would like to share information on the SR 400 Express Lanes Project which is a part of GDOT’s Major Mobility Investment Program (MMIP).

MMIP Projects 11 major mobility projects under contract in 10 years (by 2026) $11 billion program Improve passenger and freight movement Use innovative delivery and public-private partnerships to accelerate projects The state Transportation Funding Act of 2015, or TFA, added approximately $1B a year to address our state’s transportation needs. A major part of the promise to Georgia taxpayers was to commit $11 billion dollars to get 11 new major projects into construction by 2026. One of those project is SR 400 Express Lanes.

SR 400 Express Lanes Two Express Lanes in each direction along SR 400 between I-285 and McGinnis Ferry Rd One Express Lane in each direction from McGinnis Ferry Road to McFarland Road Anticipate DBFOM – availability payments Est. Cost: $1.8 Billion Suggested highlights… 2 Express Lanes in each direction. Very northern section will be 1 Express Lane in each direction. The corridor is approximately 18 miles long. Fund source is a mix of State and Federal. DBFOM with availability payments. No concession. Other things to highlight… An adjacent project just to the south is I-285 Top End Express Lanes which too will be DBFOM using Availability Payments for the payback. GDOT is administering Transform 285/400 which is scheduled to be complete in 2020. We are currently working Logical Termini between SR 400 and I-285 Top End which we believe will be Spalding Drive. A GEC team (AECOM) is developing concept, NEPA document and costing plans. HNTB is serving as Program Manager. EY has been providing financial advisor services.

The proposed SR 400 cross section… widening existing to the outside with the new Express Lanes on existing concrete pavement in the median separated from the GP lanes by delineators. The original concrete pavement constructed in early 1970s and widened in stages starting in 1989 from its original four lane configuration to its current configuration of 8 lanes. Proposed

The Department understands the risk associated with including these existing assets into a DBFOM contract.

I show it to highlight that the Division of P3 is actively engaged with key GDOT offices (Traffic Ops, Maintenance, District Maintenance), State Road and Tollway Authority (SRTA), EY, and others to evaluate the various risks and opportunities associated with delivering this corridor using DBFOM. In addition, we met with a small group of AMOTIA members last year, I have been on the road communicating the program to gather feedback. And with that I turn it over to questions.

Questions?
