Abstract
Faced with ever increasing maintenance needs and constrained resources for meeting those needs, government agencies are searching for the most cost effective means of conducting highway maintenance. One alternative being used is contracting highway maintenance to private agencies. This report includes the findings of a literature search of articles pertaining to contract maintenance.
Review of the articles acquired in the literature search indicates that contract maintenance is increasing in usage and is a cost effective alternative.
