Shakopee City Council
May 2, 2017

FROM:Bruce Loney, Public Works Director
TO:Mayor & City Council
Subject:
Approve a Master Partnership Contract with MnDOT for Professional and Technical Services, Resolution 7881.
Policy/Action Requested:
Approve a motion adopting Resolution 7881, A Resolution authorizing City officials to sign a Master Partnership Contract with the State of Minnesota (MnDOT) for professional and technical services.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends adopting Resolution 7881, which will enable the City to utilize MnDOT technical services and testing.
Discussion:

The City has utilized MnDOT technical services in the past for technical services such as testing and plant (bituminous and concrete) inspections on projects involving State Aid funding. The testing and plant inspections are required by MnDOT in order to receive the State Aid funding. Utilizing the state services is an economical means to meet the requirements as MnDOT typically has personnel at the bituminous and concrete plants on a regular basis providing inspection for their own projects as well as other governmental entities.

 

MnDOT previously had a form that was filled out by the requesting party. MnDOT recently changed the method by which it will agree to provide requested services-that being a Master Partnership Contract with individual entities.

 

This agreement replaces our approved MnDOT agreement from last year #1002054 that is effective until June 30, 2017. This new agreement #1028161 extends the Master Partnership Contract to July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2022. Attached is the Master Partnership Contract #1028161.

Budget Impact:
None.
