چکیده مقاله:

The build-operate-transfer (BOT) projects are a popular method of privatization of public infrastructure development. There are several risks which might affect a BOT project negatively. Concession period is one of the most important decision variables in arranging a BOT-type contract which should be determined considering the existing risks and uncertainties. A longer concession period is more beneficial to the private investor, whereas a prolonged concession period may result in loss for government investments. On the other hand, if the concession period were too short, the investor would either reject the contract offer or would be forced to increase the operation fees in order to recover the investment costs and to make a certain level of profit. In this paper, the concession period is determined using a new fuzzy logic based methodology. The proposed approach accounts for the existing risks and uncertainties. In the proposed methodology, the interests of both parties would be ensured and a win-win solution would be achieved. To evaluate the performance of the proposed methodology, the methodology was implemented in a highway project.

A royalty negotiation model for BOT (build-operate-transfer) projects: The operational revenue-based model

Whilst few studies have explored royalty negotiations for build, operate and transfer (BOT) projects, some works have proposed numerous royalty formulas to evaluate royalty amounts or franchise fees for a BOT project. Despite this, the royalty negotiation process is one of the many critical negotiation items of a concession contract. This study not only developed a royalty negotiation model for...

Risk assessment for build-operate-transfer projects: a dynamic multi-objective programming approach

This study uses a dynamic multi-objective programming approach to establish a risk assessment model, and develops an iterative algorithm for the model solution. The results obtained show that the sum of the interactive utility value could determine whether or not the interactive relationship is characterized by independence among negotiators. In addition, our numerical example shows that the ri...
