Build, operate, transfer (BOT) is a new class of projects characterized by private construction and maintenance of public projects. Private developers using BOT undertake to design, finance, construct, and operate revenue producing public projects and, at the end of the pay-back period, turn them over to the community. This book provides detailed information on keeping these projects on time and budget. Contains numerous illustrations including diagrams of construction techniques and procedures, charts and graphs with financial comparisons, demographics, and pro forma statistical data.
