MnDOT Contract No. 1028386 Work Order No. 1 Exhibit B Detailed Scope of Work and Deliverables 17 Costs The consultant team will review preliminary planning-level construction and right of way cost estimates and refine them for the locally preferred corridor plan. Construction cost estimates will be based on planning-level, cost-per-mile values that are typical for similar roadways in the study area; costs for interchanges and significant intersection improvements will be based on an engineer’s estimate of infrastructure needs for the improvement. ROW estimates will be based on per parcel or acreage values or another methodology that is mutually agreed upon. These costs will be reviewed to ensure that special elements are accounted for. These planning-level cost estimates are intended to help technical and policy leaders make prudent and thoughtful investment decisions. TASK 8 – IMPLEMENTATION PLAN AND DOCUMENTATION Based on the select locally preferred corridor plan, the consultant team will recommend specific strategies to the PMT/TAB to implement the proposed improvements on TH 10. One of the key aspects of implementing the TH 10 corridor improvement program is to find transitional improvements that can move forward with limited amounts of funding and/or take advantage of funding sources that may be available. The consultant team will work with the PMT/TAB to identify lower-cost/high-benefit improvements and logical sequencing or staging of these improvements. To accomplish this, the consultant team will assist the PMT/TAB in identifying criteria that can be used to prioritize the improvements and staging. As part of this staging analysis, possible criteria that could be used include: 1. Immediacy of need (i.e., capacity, safety, and/or condition) 2. Construction feasibility (what improvements are less costly and more easily constructed to build to the ultimate long- term condition) 3. Ability to leverage other planned regional and/or local improvements 4. Ability to leverage planned private improvements (adjacent development opportunities) 5. Power to fund through federal funding applications or other funding mechanisms 6. Logical sequencing of segments to avoid the creation of down-stream bottlenecks and/or safety problems The consultant team will outline recommendations for staging, implementation strategies related to policy areas, potential funding strategies, and a specific TH 10 financial strategy for short- (year 2025), mid- (year 2035), and long-term (year 2045) timeframes and documented in the Implementation Plan. The consultant team will prepare a draft and final report to document the study process, assumptions and methodology, analysis, findings, recommendations, and public involvement efforts. The technical memorandums produced throughout the corridor study process will be synthesized into one seamless document at this stage. Specific elements that will be incorporated into the draft and final reports include: 1. An executive summary (to be used as a stand-alone document) 2. Corridor vision and goals 3. Issues identification and confirmation 4. Alternative roadway and trail concept development, analysis, and evaluation 5. An integrated corridor plan and set of subarea improvements necessary to accommodate potential travel pattern shifts 6. Cost estimates 7. An implementation plan 8. Public and agency involvement activities and documentation The consultant team will distribute electronic copies of the draft report and seek stakeholder and agency comments. The consultant team will revise the draft, as needed, based on feedback and provide five hardbound copies and one electronic copy of the final report to the Local Government/Agency and State. The consultant team will also provide 10 hardbound copies of the executive summary and one electronic copy. The consultant team will work with the Local Government/Agency and Stateto post the electronic version of the document to the study website.
