SUMMARY
The Thompson County Park Master Plan was approved by the Dakota County Board by Resolution No. 20-037 (January 21, 2020).

A second contract amendment has been issued for a time extension only.
This amendment will provide permitting assistance, stormwater modeling tasks, bidding, and construction administration services for the pollinator promenade and daylit stream in the sum of $84,000. The proposal for additional service request is included in Attachment, Fee Proposal.
