It should be noted that in August 2025, Bolton & Menk also requested a scope update following the addition of Country Drive to this project’s scope, along with the changes that brought the MnDOT ramp into the project. Since August, the sidewalk has been added to the Country Drive project, and MnDOT has added the replacement of the traffic lights on the east side of the bridge to the project as well. The August scope amendment addressed the right-of-way indirect costs and design engineering costs. The total for those two services was increased to $1,542,679. That number has now been increased to $1,739,000. The rest of the revised not-to-exceed amount of $3,051,995 is dedicated to construction indirect costs, which include inspection and testing, contract administration, and surveying and staking, among other costs. The total construction indirect costs are estimated at $1,312,824. The project will be constructed over two construction seasons and will be highly complex with phasing and administration due to the involvement of FHWA and MnDOT. The proposed Cooperative Agreement with Ramsey County reflects the updated scope and associated cost estimates prepared by Bolton & Menk. In accordance with that Agreement, Ramsey County will continue to participate in the project’s indirect costs. Strategic Priority: N/A Source Of Funds: Indirect project costs for the Little Canada Road Improvement Project, including those associated with the Country Drive Rehabilitation Project, are included within the overall project budget in Fund 450 – PW 67. Staff will continue to closely monitor project costs as development of the 2027– 2036 Capital Improvement Plan progresses. Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends that the City Council approve Bolton & Menk’s professional services scope amendment to a not-to-exceed amount of $3,051,995.
