PPP Process
Introduction
There are three (3) basic Public/Private Partnerships processes that are used to receive, review, evaluate, and make decisions on either accepting or rejecting partnership project proposals:
The Unsolicited Proposal Review Process
This process is used to review partnership project proposals that have not been solicited by the Commission. In many cases these proposals may or may not be an identified priority project for the Department of Parks, or the project proposal may be a project the Commission has never considered as part of its program and/or facility inventory offering to the public. In order to be accepted as an unsolicited proposal without public competition, the proposal must comply with and/or exceed the submission requirements of the Public/Private Partnerships program and present a significant and compelling case that the applicant’s partnership proposal is distinctly unique and could not be duplicated through a competitive open public bidding, i.e., Request for Proposals (RFP) process.

Request for Expressions of Interest (REOI) Process
This process is an open public bidding process where the Commission identifies general partnership development goals and objectives to be achieved for specific park properties, facilities, and/or public services it wishes to provide the public. REOI solicitations is very open public partnership offering designed to engage the private partner to use their unique skills and business ingenuity in developing creative proposals that seek to fulfill the Commission’s goals and objectives for a partnership arrangement in fulfilling a Department of Parks program and/or facility need to better serve the public in a partnership arrangement.

Requests for Proposals (RFP) Process
This process is used when the Commission has a very specific Public/Private Partnerships development project identified as a priority. In this form of solicitation, the Commission has very prescriptive project development, management, and program goals identified. The proposal requirements for all prospective partnership bidders are exactly the same and are clearly defined. A very specific project rating criteria is also contained in the RFP in order to evaluate each proposal submitted in a fair and equitable manner.
