The public should be assured that outlays for <br />public spending are done as efficiently and in the most cost <br />effective manner as possible. <br />The Florida <br />East Coast Chapter of <br />the <br />Associated General <br />Contractors <br />of America, <br />Inc. believes <br />that <br />private enterprise, <br />through the <br />competitive <br />bid process <br />and <br />contract method of <br />construction <br />can provide <br />construction <br />and related services more <br />efficiently <br />and cost <br />effectively than <br />government, thereby <br />maximizing public funds. <br />Independent studies have shown that it costs significantly more in <br />real dollars for the government to complete work with its own <br />forces than it does to contract the same work out to the private <br />sector. <br />21 <br />BOOK 90 FArUE 913 <br />
