PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Authorize execution of a contract with SRF Consulting Group, Inc., (SRF) for construction administration, inspection, surveying, and material testing services for County Project (CP) 04-17, construction of a multi-use trail along County Road (CR) 4 from Robert Street to Trunk Highway (TH) 52 in the City of West St. Paul.
SUMMARY
To provide a safe and efficient transportation system, Dakota County is constructing a multi-use trail along CR 4 (Butler Avenue) from Robert Street to TH 52 in 2025.
SRF Consulting Group, Inc., was awarded the contract to administer the construction of pedestrian and bicycle facilities on Concord Avenue in Inver Grove Heights (CP 56-14) in 2025. The contract was signed in April 2025 in anticipation of the project being bid. However, the project has been delayed by the Minnesota Department of Transportation. CP 56-14 may still be bid this year, with some work occurring late summer or early fall, and the majority of work occurring in 2026. County staff will manage the work that occurs this year.
At the same time, the remaining number of projects in 2025 is greater than the number of staff available to manage. Currently all construction staff are full time on construction projects and there is no availability for staff to manage the 04-17 project. The County requested a proposal from SRF Consulting Group, Inc., to administer CP 04-17 in lieu of the delayed CP 56-17 project.
The proposal total cost is $122,036.00 or $204.28/hour.
