I think most of the road construction is done by private companies, who bid on the contract. The DOT only puts the contracts out for bid. It's up to the private companies to buy new equipment and put it to use. I was at airport cargo last year and
a guy came in to pick up the machine that paints the lines on the highway. It was shipped in from Kauai, because, apparently it was cheaper to ship it where it's needed, than to have one paint machine on each island.
