To complete the preliminary engineering on the <br />gap of four blocks, it will be necessary to issue an RFP for <br />technical services and to enter into a contract with an engineering <br />firm to perform the work. Close coordination with Mn/DOT and <br />the Hiawatha Project Office will also be required in order to assure <br />that the connection between commuter rail and light rail transit <br />works for both systems. The NCDA's 2000 Budget provides <br />funding for preliminary engineering of the LRT connection. <br /> <br />Action Requested: <br /> <br />That the NCDA authorize the issuance <br />of a Request for Proposals for <br />Preliminary Engineering of the <br />connection to the Hiawatha LRT <br />Corridor. <br /> <br /> Northstar Corridor Development Authority <br />2100 3'" Avenue.
