The first round of Master Partnership Agreements was <br />signed in November 2002, and expires at the end of their maximum five-year term as provided by state <br />law. Attached to this memo are agreement templates that will be used for anew five-year term. <br />This agreement emphasizes our continuing efforts to partner with cities, counties, and other political <br />subdivisions to deliver transportation -related services in the most efficient and effective manner possible. <br />The agreement ensures services we provide you will continue to be available in the future. Minnesota <br />Statutes § 174.02 authorizes Mn/DOT to enter into "partnership" agreements, and allows Mn/DOT <br />districts and offices to receive reimbursement for the services they provide directly into their District <br />accounts. <br />Previously, you signed two different Master Partnership Agreements.. One agreement provided a <br />mechanism for Mn/DOT to pay you, while the other agreement provided a mechanism for Mn/DOT to <br />receive payment from you. This updated agreement combines both of those elements into a single <br />document. Once signed, this next generation Master Partnership Agreement will replace those two prior <br />agreements. Any work in progress under a. prior agreement will continue under that prior agreement until <br />the work is finalized or the new agreement is executed. The first work order agreement is being <br />customized to replace the old partnership agreements and should be executed along with the "new" <br />Master Partnership Agreement. <br />
