• Community Consensus <br />• Project Deliverability <br />• Regional Balance <br />Scoring Overview <br />All projects that have been determined to be eligible for the program will be scored. Up to a 100 Points <br />each will be awarded to projects in eight of the nine criteria. The top point score for a project would be <br />800 points. The ninth criteria, Regional Balance, has been set-up as a funding division criterion that will <br />be applied after the projects have been scored and ranked using the other seven criteria. <br />Return on Investment, Economic Competitiveness, Freight Efficiency, and Safety criteria, MnDOT will be <br />scoring using a decile system approach. Under this approach, project outputs that relate to each of the <br />criteria will be compared against each other by sorting them from the best output down to the lowest <br />output. The project outputs will then be divided into ten equal groups or deciles based upon where <br />they compare to all the other projects. Those projects with an output in the top decile (the top 10%) <br />will receive the maximum number of points for that output. Those projects with an output in the <br />bottom decile (bottom 10%) will receive the lowest number of points for that output. Below is an <br />example of how the decile scoring system works; <br />Top Decile <br />= 50 points <br />2nd Decile <br />= 45 points <br />3rd Decile <br />= 40 points <br />4t" Decile <br />= 35 points <br />5t" Decile <br />= 30 points <br />6t" Decile <br />= 25 points <br />7t" Decile <br />= 20 points <br />8t" Decile <br />= 15 points <br />9t" Decile <br />= 10 points <br />Bottom Decile <br />= 5 points <br />There are two project outputs for each criteria, except economic competitiveness (it has just one). <br />Therefore, a project may score 50 points in one output and only 30 points in the other output to get a <br />combined 80 points for that criteria. <br />The remaining four scoring criteria of Regional Connections, Policy Objectives, Community Consensus, <br />and Project Deliverability have had specific scoring matrixes developed for them. Each of those matrices <br />will determine the amount of points a project receives from that criteria. Each of the scoring criteria <br />and the methodology being incorporated with them is discussed briefly in the next section. <br />
