Abstract

The following research is on the current state Department of Transportation procedures for highway-construction claims. A questionnaire was developed and sent to the fifty state Departments of Transportation to gather information. Once the responses were received, the data were analyzed to determine the procedures currently used by the state Departments of Transportation. A comparison between the Tennessee Department of Transportation and the other respondents was made. Comparisons were also made between all of the state Department of Transportation procedures. Overall, the data showed that the states have adequate methods of prevention and handling of highway construction claims.
