    Value for Money Integration in the Renegotiation of Public Private Partnership Road Projects By Ajibola Oladipo Fatokun A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire October 2018 i STUDENT DECLARATION I declare that while registered as a candidate for the research degree, I have not been a registered candidate or enrolled student for another award of the University or other academic or professional institution I declare that no material contained in the thesis has been used in any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work Signature of Candidate: ____________________________________________________ Type of Award: ________________________ PhD _______________________ School: ______________________ Engineering ____________________ ii ABSTRACT The governments of various countries have continued to adopt Public Private Partnership (PPP) for infrastructure projects delivery due to its many advantages over the traditional procurement method. However, concerns have been raised by stakeholders about the viability of PPP to deliver Value for Money (VfM), especially for the client. These discussions have generated debates and arguments in policy and advisory documents within the last decade mainly in the renegotiation of PPP water and transport projects and their VfM implications. Poor or non-achievement of VfM in PPP contracts renegotiation has led to this study in PPP road projects with the overall aim of integrating VfM considerations into the renegotiation process of PPP road projects. Mixed methodology research approach is used to achieve the objectives set for the study. Interviews and questionnaires of professionals involved in Design-Build-Finance-Operate (DBFO) road projects in the UK are used in the study.

  • The Great British Transport Competition 2 Foreword
    THE GREAT BRITISH TRANSPORT COMPETITION 2 FOREWORD The case for scrapping High Speed 2 (HS2) gets stronger by the day. Increasingly, people from across the political spectrum are waking up to the fundamental issues which have plagued this project. Whether it be the spiralling costs, environmental damage, consistent mismanagement or overwhelming unpopularity of the project, the tide is turning against HS2. With the latest evidence suggesting that costs could almost double, taxpayers are demanding more for their money. Even on current estimates, scrapping HS2 would free up at least £50 billion to improve transport links up and down the country. But were this to happen, what should replace it? With this question in mind, we joined the TaxPayers’ Alliance in launching The Great British Transport Competition in September 2018, to find popular alternatives to HS2. We asked all interested parties from across the United Kingdom to submit ideas for transport infrastructure projects. As the judges for this competition - including qualified surveyors, engineers, accountants, politicians and transport industry experts - we have been lucky to receive and assess so many fantastic entries from all around the country. The judging process began in early January and was concluded by early March. After many hours of detailed deliberation and discussion, 28 winning entries were chosen and the sum total of their construction costs came to £45.1 billion. We were incredibly impressed by the high standard and variety of the entries we received. What particularly stood out was that many of the entries required only relatively small sums of money to achieve vast benefits for local communities.

We have previously undertaken the earlier rounds of Review and Assessment of local air quality management and not needed to designate any part of its area as an Air Quality Management Area as none of the objectives have been exceeded where relevant public exposure is present. This report concerns the 2016 Air Quality Progress Report and has re-examined pollution sources in the area in accordance with Defra LAQM guidance (released February 2009). The data period covered is 1st January 2015 – 31st December 2015. Air quality in Welwyn Hatfield Measured air quality within the borough is currently below the set objectives at all except one of the monitored sites. The Council has decided not to undertake a detailed assessment or declare an air quality action area at this stage. We feel that we need to increase levels of monitoring in the area where the objective was breached.

  • 3 Project Description
    3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 3.1 General The Port Louis conurbation, is currently experiencing severe morning and afternoon traffic congestion, estimated to cost the Mauritian economy around Rs 2 billion annually. The Road Development Authority (RDA), Ministry of Public Infrastructure and Land Transport of the Government of Mauritius is thus implementing a Road Decongestion Programme, entailing the establishment of a network of roads, in order to alleviate the severe traffic congestion being experienced along the Port Louis-Curepipe corridor and around Port Louis itself. The Government of Mauritius (GOM) has set a high priority for development of road infrastructure to support the achieved and planned pace of economic growth. The main focus is set on the National Road Decongestion Programme to provide an effective approach of decongestion of the road network in Mauritius. The whole extent of Port Louis to St Jean Road (A1) is heavily congested throughout the day and traffic jam reach an unbearable level during peak hours. Severe traffic congestion occurs along the M1 Motorway from Caudan waterfront through the M2 Motorway towards Quay D and Mer Rouge Roundabouts, especially during peak times. Also, the traffic volume of the inner roads in Port Louis City has been largely exceeded its capacity and acute traffic jams occur during business hours, especially in the vicinity of Place d'Armes. Therefore, in order to ease the traffic congestion, a re-design of the Pont Fer, Jumbo and Dowlut Roundabouts as part of the Road Decongestion Programme (RDP) has been prioritised. The proposed project has been selected based on the recommendations of traffic modelling performed by KEC whose parameters are considered to remain valid as well as the following parameters: Function Cost Constructability Social Impact Environmental Impact Maintenance.

  • THE HEREWARD WAY a Walking Route Across the Fens Oakham to Thetford Also Part of European Route E2 Ely to Oakham
    THE HEREWARD WAY a walking route across the Fens Oakham to Thetford also part of European Route E2 Ely to Oakham The Hereward Way starts in the rolling landscape of Rutland, amid grass fields and stone villages. It passes Rutland Water, a new and large addition to our water resources. It continues to Stamford, and then Peterborough, through an increasingly level landscape - part of the River Nene basin. The route to March, Ely and beyond, is through the flat fen country, to strangers uninteresting, but to those who spend a day walking the paths, it is an area of peaceful beauty and hidden surprises. To the east of Ely, the character of the walk changes again as it enters the Brecklands of Norfolk, now mostly developed as forestry. The Hereward Way is based around the East Anglian rail/bus network with convenient stations or buses at regular intervals of about 16kms. This route is dedicated to two indomitable fenmen John and John ------------ooooooo0ooooooo------------ Acknowledgements The development of the Hereward Way would not have been possible without a great deal of help from a large number of people, and my grateful thanks are extended as follows. To those walkers in the surrounding region who have expressed an interest in, and walked, parts of the original route. To Dr & Mrs Moreton, Henry Bridge and John Andrews, for particular encouragement at the conception. To the local Groups of the Ramblers' Association in Thetford, Cambridge, Peterborough, Stamford and Northampton; and the Footpath Officers and other officers of the County and District Councils, who provided additional information and support.
