Subject: 30% utility plan engineering
I discussed issue with FHWA and the concerns about the NPS prohibition on other federal agencies not being able to
authorize construction.
It looks like we can put an agreement in place for preliminary engineering and FHWA can authorize preliminary
engineering. The key that it is for preliminary engineering.
I would suggest the following;
Council allow Chris to work with MnDOT on a work scope for preliminary engineering
Decide on a budget amount, suggest $20,000 (HPP to cover 80 %, city to provide 20% match) — or if desired we can go to
$30K
MnDOT will draft an agreement for city review
Once acceptable work scope and agreement are OK, parties sign agreement
Note: no costs can be incurred that you will want reimbursed until after the agreement is executed, Stantec would bill
city for cost, city would request reimbursement from MnDOT, MnDOT would reimburse city 80% of billed cost).
