BOO and BOOT agreements can finance water infrastructure with no upfront capital investment
There’s a growing need to expand or upgrade water and wastewater treatment infrastructure, but major projects often don’t get off the ground due to budget limitations. There is an alternative: Build-Own-Operate and Build-Own-Operate-Transfer contracts offer a financing solution that can address this common problem.
What Is a BOO or BOOT Contract?
A Build-Own-Operate (BOO) contract is a long-term financing model used to finance water and other infrastructure projects. With a BOO contract, a private service provider funds, designs, builds, owns, and operates the infrastructure on the client’s behalf for the term specified in the agreement. The client pays a set price for water produced or services rendered.
Once the contract comes to an end, the two parties can renew the existing contract, negotiate and draw up a new one, or terminate it. A client can also opt for a Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (BOOT) contract, where ownership of the infrastructure passes to the client when the contract comes to an end.
