Mn/DOT and the CRCCC. The motion was seconded by Gary Erickson and unanimously passed. Steve Billings asked if under section ll.B.2 of the transition outline is the CRCCC envisioning two meetings per month with MN Commissioner of Transportation and one per month with the NCDA and the regular Executive Committee. Paul McCarron noted that he had talked to Mn/DOT staff about meeting twice a month. Steven Billings asked if Mn/DOT staff see a need to meet twice a month. Mike Schadauer noted yes, that these meetings will be a nice opportunity for Mn/DOT to get feedback and give information/progress reports to the CRCCC on the Project. Paul McCarron noted that it likely would not be necessary for the NCDA to meet monthly. A motion was made by Paul McCarron to recommend to the NCDA that the Authority: 1) assign the URS/BRW Preliminary Engineering, URS/BRW Phase II Technical Services and the Himle Horner Public Involvement agreement to Mn/DOT, as of June 1; 2) terminate the Mn/DOT Coordination, Ken Stevens, Richardson, Richter & Associates, David Loch and Lindquist & Vennum agreements as of June 1; and 3) approve a Mn/DOT Grant Agreement Amendment for funding of the transition up to June 1, a Ken Stevens contract in the amount of $40,000 for a term of June 1 through December 31, 2001, a Richardson, Richter & Associates contract in the amount of $60,000 for the term of June 1 through December 31, 2001, and a contract with David Loch for $20,000 with a term of June 1 through December 31, 2001. The motion was seconded by Lewis Stark and passed unanimously. Preliminary Engineering Update and Review Process: Ken Stevens gave an update on the preliminary engineering process. There is a lot going on in the process right now. Mr. Stevens noted that preliminary engineering needs to be completed by June 1 and submitted to the FTA. Mn/DOT has decided to continue preliminary engineering on the track and signal improvements, working on the entire list of improvements as well as the more narrow Mainline Management list of improvements. TKDA has started the track and signal preliminary engineering process and are striving to complete the process by June 1. Mr. Stevens noted that the TKDA scope of work has been changed by Mn/DOT and a letter needs to be attached to their file noting the change. Ken Stevens reviewed the schedule for Project Management Plan review and submittal. The Executive Committee/CRCCC review of the preliminary engineering packet should be complete by May 24 for submittal to the FTA on June 1. The Plan will be released to the cities for their review and comment on June 1. The cities will have 45 days in which to review and get their comments in. The CRCCC will review the cities' comments in mid July. These comments will be incorporated into the FEIS prior to submittal. Paul Danielson gave an overview of the volumes being developed by URS/BRW. Volume 1 will consist of station drawings (7 of 11 stations completed to date); Volume 2 will relate to the maintenance facility (programming report and design report); Volume 3 will include systemwide component plans (update to operation plan, update to fare collections, update on rolling stock issues and procurement process); and Volume 4 will to the Project Management Plan (currently being developed, and will address security issues).
