Background:
The Met Council, in collaboration with Hennepin County and City of Minneapolis, is leading a two-phased multimodal improvement project along Lake Street and Lagoon Avenue as part of the B Line Project. The B Line is a bus rapid transit line that will provide faster and more reliable transit service in the Route 21 corridor.
The Met Council is also leading public engagement via social media, email, and mail.
The county previously entered into Agreement PW 33-67-22 with the Met Council for an estimated county cost of $6,383,600 and Agreement PW 48-20-22 with Minneapolis for an estimated county receivable of $2,064,520 for the B Line project (Resolution 23-0018). The proposed amendments to these agreements will address phase two of the project. Additionally, after phase one went to bid and construction started, staff determined that Minneapolis’ cost participation would increase by $254,694 and would be paid through the existing Agreement PW 48-20-22.
The county applied for and was awarded $12 million in RAISE grants, $2 million in HSIP funds, and $2 million in Regional Solicitation funds for CP 2193300. Agreements PW 37-40-23 with MnDOT and USDOT, and PW 41-40-23 with MnDOT, will allow the county to receive federal funding for the project.
Project financing will be provided by CP 2193300, Metro Transit B Line - Additional Scope, with expenses tracked in its associated subprojects CP 2193301 (phase one) and CP 2193302 (phase two). Phase one construction began spring 2023, and phase two is planned to begin in 2024 with substantial completion in fall 2024.
Current Request: This request seeks authorization to negotiate and execute the following amendments and agreements as part of the METRO B Line Project, CP 2193300:
• Amendment 1 to PW 33-67-22 with Met Council for county participation in phase two of the project, estimated at $27,403,628.
• Amendment 1 to PW 48-20-22 with Minneapolis for city participation in phase two of the project, estimated at $5,488,205 (to be received into the county’s capital budget). Upon project completion, the city will maintain the improvements consistent with the current city/county maintenance agreement.
• Agreement PW 37-40-23 with MnDOT and USDOT for RAISE grants in the amount of $12,000,000.
• Agreement PW 41-40-23 authorizes the Commissioner of Transportation to act as the county’s agent in accepting the RAISE grants on its behalf and allows the county to receive the $12,000,000 for the project.
Additionally, the request seeks the following authorization for CP 2193300:
• Adjust the budget for CP 2193300 to receive $16,000,000 in Federal Aid, $185,508 in State Aid and $254,694 in cost participation from the City of Minneapolis, increasing the project budget for CP 2193300 by $16,440,502 from $6,683,600 to $23,124,102 as part of the 2023 Capital Budget.
Impacts/Outcomes: This action supports the county’s Mobility 2040 goals, climate action, and disparity reduction efforts by improving accessibility and enhancing safety for multi-modal transportation users along Lake Street and Lagoon Avenue.
