BACKGROUND:
The Division of Design and Construction is responsible for managing construction contracts, providing quality and timely construction inspection, surveying, and materials testing services in support of publicly and privately-funded infrastructure construction projects.
On April 1, 2009, the Department of Public Service ceased all expenditure and revenue activity in the development services fund and established two new funds: the private construction inspection fund and the internal service construction inspection fund.
