As a result of this particular research project, a transportation break-through team of the Kansas Collaborative was developed. This Kansas Collaborative had three initiatives. One was to establish a local road engineer; two, to establish purchasing procedures using state contract pricing, and three, to establish a contract project notification procedure. These initiatives have been implemented. To comply with the requirements of the state statutes, to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public, and to reduce the liability of counties, every county in Kansas should have access to engineering services. This can be attained by hiring a county engineer, hiring an engineer to work in two or more counties or to have a working relationship with an engineering consultant.
