Abstract:

This study was undertaken to analyze costs, quality, and policy of using consulting services by the SDHPT for preliminary or pre-construction engineering. The issue arises out of essentially non-technical grounds rather than any need for a fundamental assessment of SDHPT's performance and policy. Briefly, the amount of preliminary construction engineering work being contracted to consultants rose from $9.2 Million in FY 1980 to $36.97 Million in FY 1986. This was principally caused by an unprecedented increase in the department's construction program fueled by both state and federal user tax increases.
