Right-of-Way Acquisition Services
In 1991, Congress passed the Intermodal Surface Transportation
Efficiency Act (ISTEA) which earmarked 14 cents on every gallon of gas
purchased for a "trust fund" to pay exclusively for improvements
to the transportation system. The U.S. Department of Transportation
distributes these funds to state Departments of Transportation based on
population and highway mileage, which means an increase in state revenues
for transportation.
The increased funding that resulted from ISTEA set into motion a surge
in transportation projects that placed demands on state departments of
transportation to increase right-of-way acquisition. But, there was no
provision for additional staffing. Contracting
services for labor-intensive right-of-way work is a successful solution to
the dilemma, and Volkert & Associates, Inc., provides this solution as
a part of our multi-disciplined, full-service approach to meeting our
clients' needs. Our clients
get qualified, experienced personnel who are familiar with state and
federal regulations, without the cost of purchasing equipment or paying
fringe benefits.
Volkert provides right-of-way services to departments of
transportation as well as other entities that acquire right-of-ways as a
part of servicing their clients - including power, telephone, gas, water,
sewer, cable, and oil companies. Other users of right-of-way services
include airports, seaports, railways, and county and city road
departments.
