• Abstract:
  TxDOT is faced with a need to expand their maintenance contracted services due to shortage of in-house ; personnel and expertise. As a result, TxDOT had a need to investigate maintenance contracting strategies to ; identify those efficient strategies that might be implemented to help them achieve their maintenance goals. This ; study investigated current maintenance contracting practices in TxDOT and other state DOTs, and produced a ; selection framework, guide and case studies to assist maintenance personnel in selecting and implementing ; appropriate contracting strategies for maintenance outsourcing. A prototype selection algorithm was created to ; help decision makers identify contracting strategy for achieving outsourcing goals and accommodating ; maintenance circumstances.
