State DOT Outsourcing and Private-sector Utilization
Author: Thomas R. WarnePublisher: Transportation Research Board
ISBN: 0309069629
Category : Contracting out
Languages : en
Pages : 52
Book Description
This report will be of interest to state departments of transportation (DOTs), as well as to other transportation professionals and the public who seek to leverage their work forces by outsourcing key activities. The report examines the current practices in outsourcing, what decisions are involved in deciding when to outsource, procuring and administering outsourced services, what are the most commonly outsourced activities, and determining the effectiveness of outsourcing. This report is an update of NCHRP Synthesis 246: Outsourcing of State Highway Facilities and Services, which provided a comprehensive look at the status of outsourcing as it existed in 1997, and the data compiled for this synthesis are compared with the data of the earlier synthesis, where appropriate. The information for this effort was derived in part from a survey questionnaire distributed to all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Replies to the survey came from 38 states and the District of Columbia. Information was also derived from a review of the relevant literature, which focused primarily on the engineering and design elements outsourced by state DOTs.
Use of Consultants for Construction Engineering and Inspection
Author: Robert Brian NewmanPublisher: Transportation Research Board National Research
ISBN:
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 76
Book Description
This synthesis will be of interest to construction engineers, contractors, administrators and others concerned with using consultants as a replacement for or as a supplement to agency staffing on highway construction projects. Information is presented on determining the need for consultants as well as methods for hiring them and supervising and monitoring their work. In recent years, highway agency personnel reductions have meant that consultants have had to be engaged to adequately staff construction projects. This report of the Transportation Research Board discusses how highway agencies are using consultants for construction engineering and inspection including hiring, qualifications, and agency oversight and control.
Interim Report, Best Practices for the Support Services of School Divisions
Author: An Assessment of the Virginia Department of Transportation's Public Involvement Practices and the Development of a Public Involvement Toolkit

Book Description
Well-implemented public involvement programs have many potential benefits for transportation agencies including enhanced credibility with the public, decisions reflecting community values, and reduced risks of litigation (O'Connor et al., 2000). The objectives of this study included a broad assessment of the Virginia Department of Transportation's (VDOT's) public involvement practices and the development of a public involvement "toolkit" for use by VDOT staff. The toolkit describes an array of techniques that may be used from the earliest planning stages of transportation projects through their construction, noting advantages, disadvantages, special considerations in the use of each technique, and references and website links for further reading. The assessment of VDOT's current public outreach practices included information gathering from citizens and VDOT staff. A total of 948 citizens attending several types of VDOT meetings and hearings completed written surveys that included questions about how they prefer to be notified about upcoming VDOT meetings, how they prefer to be informed about projects, and how they prefer to be updated on the status of plans or projects. Focus groups and written "self evaluation" surveys provided information on the perceptions of VDOT staff about the effectiveness of VDOT's public involvement approaches and their suggestions for improving communication with the public and public involvement... Study recommendations include the following: VDOT staff should use the toolkit and a soon-to-be released interactive public involvement tool by the Federal Highway Administration to choose effective public involvement approaches; VDOT divisions should collaborate on ways to increase the public's understanding of the planning, project development, and public involvement processes; and as soon as the state budget situation permits, the Outreach Section of VDOT's Office of Public Affairs proposed by the Governor's Commission on Transportation Policy should be staffed to provide greater in-house strategic communications planning and evaluation capability for major projects.

Category : Consulting engineers
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
This synthesis report will be of interest to department of transportation (DOT) preconstruction engineering supervisors and program managers, contract administrators, and project managers. It will also be of interest to engineering consultants who do work for state DOTs. It describes current practice in contracting with consultants for DOT preconstruction engineering work. The synthesis documents the practices in all stages involved with obtaining consulting services, from the initial designation of projects for consultant work to project completion and acceptance procedures. The study also collected the views of selected consultants on DOT practices. Information for the synthesis was collected by surveying U. S. transportation agencies and by conducting a literature search. This report of the Transportation Research Board provides information on the history and trends in outsourcing of preconstruction engineering activities and compares current levels with those found a decade earlier. The steps in the procurement and management of consulting services are provided in detail. These include deciding on when and what to contract out and the selection, negotiation, and consultant management activities that follow. Finally, the appendixes contain numerous samples of collected forms and procedures used by a variety of states to accomplish this work.
