The first questionnaire was sent to 188 international and local BOT experts representing different types of project participants _government agencies, project developers, and financial firms, legal, industrial, and academic consultants_ according to the expert selection criteria mentioned above _see Table 1_. The variety of the experts was intended for the identification and evaluation of the most common attributes that have the most significant impact on BOT project viability. Fifteen experts had completed the first questionnaire. Six of these were involved in more than one BOT project as engineering consultants, five were project company managers involved in only one BOT project, two were heads of project site offices, one academic expert was involved in several BOT projects as a construction management consultant, and one was involved in several projects as a financial consultant and member of the board of directors of a large construction firm. For the second questionnaire, 128 surveys were sent to international and local _Egyptian_ experts _including the first questionnaire respondents _. Only 12 respondents returned a fully completed survey and expressed readiness to provide more support to this study.
The response rates for the first and the second questionnaires were 8 and 9.4%, respectively, based on the number of mailed surveys. Eight experts _three Egyptians and five international_participated in the two questionnaires. This low response rate could be attributed to the fact that the respondent criteria called for highly qualified experts in BOT systems that have the ability to deal with the complexity of qualitative decision factors and their relationships. Similarly, previous studies showed that the response rates to requests for qualitative factors assessment was considerably low. For example, in Dias and Ioannou _1996_ only 12 and 8 respondents had accepted the invitation and completed the questionnaires. In fact, one can infer some statistical implications of this low rate of responses. Following the reasoning suggested by Saaty _1980_, the Chebyshev’s theorem statistical test _at least 75% of the data set must lie within the range of average ±2 standard deviations to accept the set of data_ was applied to the data set from each respondent, and over 91% of the obtained data were within the above range which means the responses were accepted. The resulting inconsistency ratio of the pairwise comparison matrix was _0.1 for answers from each respondent. This represents an additional positive indication of reliability of the obtained responses.
Viability Model Decision Factors
The most important task in the development of multiattribute decision model was the identification of the relevant model attributes. Both host government and private sector should assess the decision factors that affect the feasibility of a BOT project. The common decision factors _attributes_ on the project level are defined in detail in Appendix I.
