Texas Department of Transportation
A Review of Cost Accounting Methodology at the Texas Department of Transportation
Report Number 95-130
Management at the Texas Department of Transportation has not taken steps to balance the use of construction engineering services between Department employees and private sector professionals. The Department has spent essentially no money on construction engineering with private consultants.
The Department appears to be in overall compliance with the statute for preliminary and design engineering; however, there may be additional opportunities to use private contractors for certain types of preliminary engineering projects. The Department spent $56.9 million (26.7 percent of all preliminary and design engineering) between November 1991 and October 1994 on private sector engineering services.
