PRIVATE ENTERPRISE AND ROAD MAINTENANCE

LA EMPRESA PRIVADA Y LA CONSERVACION DE CARRETERAS

A STUDY IS MADE, IN THE FIRST PART OF THE REPORT, OF THE TYPE OF MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS WHICH CAN BE CARRIED OUT BY PRIVATE ENTERPRISE AND BY LOCAL AUTHORITIES. FOR THE YEAR 1972, MAINTENANCE INVESTMENTS ARE APPORTIONED AS FOLLOWS: 60% FOR DIRECT ADMINISTRATION AND 40% FOR PRIVATE ENTERPRISE. THERE IS A TENDENCY TO INCREASE THE PERCENTAGE OF OPERATIONS GIVEN TO PRIVATE FIRMS UNDER CONTRACT. MENTION IS MADE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF USING THIS METHOD FOR MAINTAINING LONG SECTIONS OF ROAD OF EVEN CHARACTERISTICS. THE SECOND PART DEALS WITH MAINTENANCE WORK CONTRACTS: BUDGET ALLOCATIONS AND THE PART WHICH IS NOT DIRECTLY INVESTED BY THE ADMINISTRATION. A CLEAR SEPARATION MUST EXIST BETWEEN MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS CONDUCTED BY THE ADMINISTRATION AND THOSE WHICH ARE SUB CONTRACTED. SEE ALSO IRRD ABSTRACT NO. 102124.
