Abstract:The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of privatizing all civil engineering operations in
the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD). It was investigated by
conducting a national and international literature review and a cost analysis. Privatization of all civil
engineering operations in a state DOT has not been attempted in the U.S. but several other countries
have privatized their entire state transport agencies. Most foreign privatization efforts report cost
savings and improved delivery of service. However, not all applications have succeeded and all express
concern with one or more aspects of their application, resulting in the privatization process remaining a
“work in progress” in most applications. In this study, the cost comparison of conducting all civil
engineering operations in-house versus by the private sector resulted in an estimate of no cost savings
from privatizing the civil engineering operations in DOTD. The privatization of the civil engineering
operations of DOTD is not recommended, although it is recommended that opportunities to outsource
more individual tasks in DOTD be investigated.
