1 Construction Engineering in State Highway Projects Legislative Audit Bureau September 2009

2 Overview  Construction contractors construct highways and test construction materials.  Construction engineers oversee contractors, review and verify contractors’ tests, and perform their own tests of materials.

3 Expenditures  DOT’s FY construction engineering expenditures: State staff$20.8 million Consultants $36.0 million Total $56.8 million

4 Use of Consultants  Consultant expenditures as a percentage of total construction engineering expenditures: Fiscal Year % % % % %

5 Cost Benefit Analyses  DOT completed 214 cost-benefit analyses from March 2007 through June 2008: -125 indicated DOT staff could complete the work at a lower cost than consultants -84 indicated consultants could complete the work at a lower cost than DOT -5 indicated DOT staff did not have the expertise for the projects  DOT hired consultants in all 214 instances.

6 Concrete Pavement Thickness

7 Concrete Pavement Roughness  We reviewed the documentation of roughness measurements taken on 28 state highway projects: -19 projects were appropriately exempted from measurement -9 projects had complete documentation

8 Materials Testing  On 20 highway projects we reviewed: -158 of 432 required tests (36.6 percent) on concrete and related materials were not documented electronically -No additional documentation existed in the projects’ paper files

9 Materials Testing  Consultant construction engineers documented 64 percent of the required tests on 10 projects they led.  DOT construction engineers documented 62 percent of the required tests on 10 projects they led.

10 Future Considerations  Wisconsin is expected to receive $529.1 million in federal transportation funds under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of  In order to complete projects paid for with stimulus funds, the optimal mix of state staff and consultants will need to be determined.
