摘要：	This document was prepared as part of the 20-24 Series of NCHRP Projects on the administration of highway and transportation agencies. The report is designed to assist State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) in assessing the outsourcing of their capital delivery functions. Over the past several years, there has been an inexorable increase in travel demand with a concomitant increased demand for improving the transportation infrastructure and relieving congestion. In some cases, there have been special initiatives based on referenda and other state and local legislative actions resulting in a number of special new programs focusing on certain designated areas or corridors and including various forms of enabling legislation dealing with such subjects as new earmarked taxes, new bonding authority, public-private partnerships and other program innovations. In many states pressures are great for maintaining constant state agency staffing levels and even mandating further downsizing in staff levels. An obvious response to these pressures is to outsource work to private sector companies and even to other levels of government, such as county transportation agencies. Some state DOTs have begun to outsource their capital program delivery functions, e.g. major facility designs and related PS&E production, major project construction supervision, and comprehensive, long term major area or system maintenance functions. The objective of the study was to develop guidance for State DOTs on the outsourcing of major program responsibility. Recommendations for innovative practices in the management and outsourcing of program delivery functions were a primary focus. A review of current practices and an evaluation of the effectiveness, benefits, and concerns of the outsourcing of primary program delivery functions by DOTs were conducted.
