CONTRACT REST AREA MAINTENANCE

CONTRACT MAINTENANCE IS NORTH DAKOTA'S SOLUTION FOR MAINTAINING THEIR 53 REST AREAS IN GOOD CONDITION, AS WELL AS PROVIDING EMPLOYMENT FOR PERSONS WHO DO NOT FIT THE EMPLOYMENT REQUIREMENTS OF THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT (RETIRED EMPLOYEES FOR EXAMPLE). THE CONTRACT AGREEMENT IS SIMPLE, REFERRING TO THE REST AREA MANUAL FOR PROCEDURES AND STANDARDS. THOUGH THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT PROVIDES MAINTENANCE SUPPLIES, THE CONTRACTOR PROVIDES TRANSPORTATION, ALLOWING THE STATE TO HAVE A MUCH REDUCED FLEET OF TRUCKS. NORTH DAKOTA HAS FOUND THIS METHOD TO BE ECONOMICAL, AS WELL AS PROVIDING GENERALLY SUPERIOR MAINTENANCE.
