end
PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Authorize execution of Agreement Amendment No. 1033271A01 with Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) to extend project deadline for County Project (CP) 26-56 Signal Timing in the City of Eagan.
SUMMARY
To provide a safe and efficient transportation system, Dakota County is partnering with MnDOT on CP 26-56. The project has two components; construction which was completed in 2023 and traffic signal timing optimization that is currently moving forward. The traffic signal timing consists of developing and implementing timing optimization of 27 traffic signals along County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 26 (Lone Oak Road), CSAH 28 (Yankee Doodle Road), CSAH 31 (Pilot Knob Road), and CSAH 43 (Lexington Avenue) in the City of Eagan (Attachment: Project Location).
Agreement Amendment No. 1033271A01 (Attachment: Agreement Amendment No. 1033271A01) extends the agreement duration by one year to allow for the completion of the signal timing from July 30, 2024 to July 30, 2025. The amendment does not change the project funding, and the City of Eagan has no cost share for the signal timing.
