Authorization To Amend 2026 Transportation Capital Improvement Program Budget For Kenwood Trail Mill And Overlay And Execute Joint Powers Agreement With City Of Lakeville, County Project 50-047
end
PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Authorize amending the 2026 Transportation Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget to include County Project 50-047, Kenwood Trail (CSAH 50) Mill and Overlay, and authorize execution of a joint powers agreement (JPA) with the City of Lakeville for project development and delivery.
SUMMARY
Capital Project 50-047 (Kenwood Trail / CSAH 50 Mill and Overlay) was identified after adoption of the 2026 Transportation Capital Improvement Program and was not included in Resolution 26-039 on January 20, 2026. The project will be packaged with Capital Project 9-65, the reconstruction of Dodd Boulevard (CSAH 9) from 208th Street to CSAH 50 in Lakeville, to improve delivery efficiency, coordinate construction schedules, and reduce staging impacts to the traveling public. Pavement condition review determined that the CSAH 50 corridor between Holyoke Avenue and Kenwood Trail is an appropriate mill-and-overlay candidate that aligns with this coordination.
A JPA with the City of Lakeville is required to define design coordination, lead agency responsibilities, cost participation, and construction administration for the combined work. Entering JPAs with cities for Transportation CIP projects is standard County practice and is consistent with the Board’s 2026 authorization permitting execution of JPAs with cities to support CIP project delivery.
RECOMMENDATION
recommendation
Staff recommends the County Board authorize establishment of Capital Project 50-047, amend the 2026 Transportation CIP Budget, and authorize execution of a JPA with the City of Lakeville for project planning, design, and construction coordination.
