Summary:

Faced with disasters that close highways to the traveling public, state departments of transportation (DOTs) must undertake emergency procurement procedures to repair and reopen roadways. These procedures provide expedited delivery of contractor services. This study reports and discusses emergency procurement procedures being utilized by state DOTs, in coordination with federal agencies. Information for the study was gathered through a literature review and a survey of state DOTs and Federal Lands Highway Divisions. The study includes legal case studies.
