To wait is to invite a tragedy on Izmit's scale. Public Service Is the Issue C alifornia can't seem to get its act together when it comes to the cost-effective procurement of design services. The answer should be to pick the procurement method that best suits the project and local conditions. In some cases, it may be that state engineers are better suited for the work and sometimes private firms. The primary issue is not the support of livelihoods in either camp, but rather the production of projects to serve the public that pays for them and uses them.
Flexibility is the key.
