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.”
