As part of this role, SaskBuilds also coordinates federal infrastructure funding under a long-term agreement with the Government of Canada. SaskBuilds has worked with ministry partners to deliver four public-private partnership (P3) projects worth more than $3 billion to meet Saskatchewan’s infrastructure needs. These four projects are achieving savings of more than $500 million (M), and have supported more than 12,000 construction jobs. Two projects continued in the operations phase in 2018-19: The Meadows, a 225-bed long-term care centre in Swift Current and the Joint-Use Schools Project which comprises 18 elementary schools on nine joint-use sites in Regina, Saskatoon, Warman and Martensville. A third project, the Saskatchewan Hospital North Battleford (SHNB), achieved service commencement on September 6, 2018. This new 284-bed provincial psychiatric facility replaced the existing 156-bed hospital. The new facility includes 188 psychiatric rehabilitation beds and a 96-bed secure wing for offenders living with mental health issues. This project is an innovative partnership between the Ministries of Health, Corrections and Policing, Central Services, the Saskatchewan Health Authority, and SaskBuilds. Following service commencement in September, all patients from the existing facility moved to Premier Scott Moe, patient Keri, and Battlefords MLA Herb the new SHNB in November 2018. Corrections began a phased-in move of its Cox declare the new SHNB officially open. patients in December 2018. SHNB patients and staff joined members of the (Photo courtesy Saskatchewan Health Authority) community and government to celebrate its official opening on March 8, 2019. While the SHNB project encountered some delays, it has proven that P3 risk transfer works to protect government and taxpayers by ensuring that risks and associated costs are the responsibility of Access Prairies Partnership (APP), the private sector partners on the project. When APP was not able to meet the original service commencement date of June 1, 2018 the unique protections of the P3 project agreement ensured that government retained $3.9M in forfeited service payments, plus recovered $484,000 for delay-related expenses. The fourth P3 project, the Regina Bypass, continued construction in 2018-19, and remains on schedule for substantial completion in October 2019. Integrated capital planning enables government to take a strategic approach to identifying, prioritizing and funding infrastructure investments. SaskBuilds leads government's annual integrated capital planning process, working closely with ministries and Crowns to ensure that decision makers have the best information possible to help meet Saskatchewan's infrastructure needs now and into the future.
