SUMMARY
To promote a safe and efficient transportation system, Dakota County proceeded with the 2025 Preservation of Paved Highway Surface Project (Attachment: Location Map). The 2025 preservation work included resurfacing of County roads. The work began in June and will continue through October.

The project was awarded to Valley Paving, Inc., in the amount of $5,576,946.12. Note that the contract amount was 16.5 percent under the Engineer's estimate.
Construction costs have increased by $349,803.44 or 6.3 percent due to a change in the design and higher quantities of pavement resurfacing. A list of item overruns is summarized in Attachment: Cost Increase Summary.
On County Project (CP) 11-32, MnDOT requested a change to the design of the pedestrian facility way to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements for work within their right of way. County staff agreed to the design changes, which increased costs by an additional $225,823.13.
