Title: USE OF CONTRACT SERVICES BY STATE DOTS
Accession Number: 00457511
Record Type: Component
Digital Copy: Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: To determine the extent of the use of contractors and consultants to perform state highway activities, the Transportation Research Board surveyed the states in the summer of 1984. More than 40 state transportation agencies responded. The replies indicate that every major activity relating to preconstruction and project development, planning, construction, traffic, safety, operations and maintenance, and administration is being contracted out by at least one state. The responses by the states to TRB's survey indicate that a complex and thorough process is needed for the contracting of services. The controls for contracted-out projects have to be much more stringent than those for in-house projects because of the separate and arms-length management position used with the contractor compared to a management continuum of staff activities.
