Meanwhile, would we better off hiring real professionals to handle our roads, shoulders, and signage, instead of paying employees who don't always get the job done (for various reasons), or done right? Only pay for the work that was done, no $$$ spent on road crew employees; work comp or medical insurances, fuel, equipment maintenance/purchases and so forth....

I just would like to point out a fact here - the HPPOA would be paying all the things you mentioned : work comp or medical insurances, fuel, equipment maintenance/purchases and so forth.... - would still be being paid by the management company to their employees doing HPPOA work, and billed on to the HPPOA + the management fee would be on top - probably as a percentage of the labor they bill for. If they take control as a package with a set fee, they probably would bid high based on the past history. The management company wont be in this for no profit.

Okay now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Good job Kat but you left out 2 more costs that a contractor would charge. Overhead and margin. You can't contract it out cheaper then doing the work in house.
