State Highways & Bridges

State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) can no longer rely solely on traditional taxing revenues to fund major programs to replace and/or modernize existing state highways and bridges and/or to design and construct newly needed state highways and bridges. Instead, state DOTS must rely on alternative public/private financing and contracting approaches and the creation of special “enterprise” entities within their organizations to implement their respective programs.
LSG assists state enterprise organizations with:

• Understanding best practices and pros and cons of alternative public/private financing and contracting approaches for similar programs implemented by different state DOTs
• Assessing how legislative, legal and institutional parameters and constraints can impact the operations of enterprise organizations
• Interviewing stakeholders to gain an understanding of their views and perspectives
• Defining program scope, schedule and cost parameters
• Developing a program implementation plan including organization structure and staffing and use of professional consultants
• Developing solicitation documents to select and engage professional consulting firms for Program Management, Design Management and Construction Management
• Briefing DOT Executive Management and Commissioners/Board of Directors on the progress of program implementation
