<br /> <br /> STAFF REPORT <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />TO: Mayor Fischer and Members of the City Council <br /> <br />FROM: Bill Dircks, Public Works Director <br /> <br />DATE: February 8, 2023 <br /> <br />RE: Delegated Contract Process Agreement with MnDOT <br /> <br /> <br />ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: <br />Motion to approve agreement and resolution supporting the delegated contract process <br />agreement between the City of Little Canada and MnDOT. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND: <br />There are projects in the city that are eligible for federal funding. An example of such a project <br />is the potential interchange upgrade at Little Canada Road, Country Drive, and 35E. MnDOT is <br />also involved with these types of projects and has a process for working with the federal <br />government to acquire federal funding. Because of this, it is easier and more efficient for local <br />governments to allow MnDOT to act on behalf of the city when seeking federal funding. <br /> <br />A delegated contract process agreement covers the roles and responsibilities associated with <br />federal aid funds and allows for MnDOT to act as the City’s agent in accepting these funds for <br />construction projects. The agreement is ongoing and is updated from time-to-time with changes <br />and other updates to the language of the agreement. That is what precipitated this update to the <br />agreement. There were six sections added to the agreement to reflect changes in the construction <br />contract environment. <br /> <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: <br />Staff recommends approving the agreement and resolution supporting the delegated contract <br />process agreement between the City of Little Canada and MnDOT. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />• Delegated Contract Agreement <br />• Resolution Approving Contract <br /> <br /> <br />
