Public employees would inspect most federally funded highway projects.
This bill would require state and local governments to use their own employees to inspect federally funded highway construction projects. This means fewer private contractors would do this work. The public would also get more information about how these projects are checked for quality.
Today, state and local transportation agencies can hire private companies for construction inspection services on federally funded highway projects without specific limits. This bill would require these agencies to use public employees for most of this inspection work. Private consultants could only be hired temporarily, for up to 12 months, if an agency truly lacks enough public staff, and this would require public reporting.
