Authorization To Execute Fourth Contract Amendment With Short-Elliott-Hendrickson, Inc. For Professional Services For Minnesota River Greenway Fort Snelling Segment
end
PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Authorize execution of a fourth contract amendment for professional services for the Minnesota River Greenway Fort Snelling Segment.
SUMMARY
Dakota County is proceeding with the Minnesota River Greenway Fort Snelling Segment (P00127) to construct 3.7 miles of the Minnesota River Greenway between trailheads located near Nicols Road and Lone Oak Road in Eagan, including a pedestrian bridge to cross over railroad owned by Union Pacific (see Attachment: Project Map). By Resolution No. 20-163 (March 24, 2020), the County entered into a contract with Short-Elliott-Hendrickson, Inc. for $297,988 for final design of the trail portion of the greenway project. In August 2020, this contract was amended to increase the not-to-exceed amount to $307,488 to allow for completion of environmental documentation required by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). By Resolution No. 21-441 (September 7, 2021), this contract was further amended to a not-to-exceed amount of $369,488 for completion of design and construction plans. The Dakota County Board of Commissioners approved the schematic design for the project by Resolution No. 20-163 (March 24, 2020).
A contract amendment to the Short-Elliott-Hendrickson, Inc. contract to provide construction administration services for tree-clearing work and increase the not to exceed amount to $400,988 was approved by Resolution No. 22-056 (February 1, 2022), but no bids were received last winter due to schedule constraints. This work has been advertised again, but the contract with Short-Elliott-Hendrickson, Inc. has lapsed and now requires an amendment for extension of the effective date.
