• Abstract:
  This report documents an investigation into the possibility of privatizing the civil engineering operations in the Louisiana Department ; of Transportation and Development (DOTD). The study was conducted in response to House Resolution 105 of the Louisiana House of ; Representatives in which DOTD was requested to “study the possibility of privatizing civil engineering operations in the Department.” ; This resolution follows a recommendation of the Louisiana Governor’s Commission on Streamlining Government in 2009 that at least ; 80 percent of DOTD’s design activities be outsourced and a more recent suggestion by Honorable Maurice McTigue of the Mercatus ; Center at George Mason University that the whole civil engineering activity at the DOTD “be subjected to a privatization study and ; sold off as a stand-alone business.”
