<br />Ms. Richardson noted that the proposals were ranked based on the inclusion of <br />required certificates/statements, good faith efforts to meet DBE goal, qualifications of <br />the Propose and the project team, availability of key personnel and ability to complete <br />work on schedule, the Consultant's understanding of the work, the Consultant's past <br />record of performance, and the comprehensiveness of the proposal. Tim Yantos <br />noted that the evaluation team determined that L TK Engineering Services represented <br />the most qualified team for the project. At its November 23, 2004 meeting, the. <br />Executive Committee/Capital Budget Committee authorized staff to enter into <br />negotiations with L TK Engineering Services to establish the scope of services and a <br />fair and reasonable contract amount. Staff will bring a proposed contract for approval <br />at the January 2005 meeting. <br /> <br />5. Mary Richardson handed out a revised 2005 Budget amendment which showed the. <br />2005 budget as approved and the proposed amended 2005 budget. She noted that <br />the proposed revisions result from several factors: 1) the establishment, staffing and <br />equipping of the Northstar Project Office (NPO), 2) the reallocation of 2005 grant funds <br />from ROW acquisition to other categories in accordance with Mn/DOT grant contract; <br />3) the increases in insurance costs; and 4) the adjustments in the 2005 grant resulting <br />from the final congressional appropriations and the retention for Mn/DOT's <br />administrative costs. Paul Ostrow made a motion that the NCDA approve the <br />proposed amended 2005 Budget as recommended. The motion was seconded by <br />Arne Engstrom and passed unanimously on a voice vote. Ms. Richardson noted that <br />this amendment does not require additional contribution by its funding partners. <br /> <br />6.
