The county, in collaboration with the City of Bloomington, is reconstructing Nicollet Avenue. The improvements will incorporate a Complete and Green Streets design with upgraded storm water structures, enhanced multi-modal facilities and Americans with Disabilities Act upgrades.
In 2024, the county entered into Agreement PR00006257 with SEH, Inc. to provide preliminary design for Nicollet Avenue Phase 1 reconstruction at a county cost not to exceed $1.1 Million (Resolution 24-0220). Earlier this year, the county entered into Amendment 1 to Agreement PR00006257 with SEH, Inc. to provide preliminary design for Phase 2, increasing the not to exceed amount to $1.75 Million (Resolution 25-0049).
Proposed Amendment 2 to Agreement PR00006257 will provide for the final design of Nicollet Avenue with funding available in the project budgets:
• CP 2143102 - Reconstruct Nicollet Avenue Phase 1
• CP 2143101 - Reconstruct Nicollet Avenue Phase 2
Public engagement has been ongoing through the project development process, including surveys, business engagement, online mapping, community group meetings, and open house events to develop corridor improvements that meet the project goals and community needs. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2027 with substantial completion in 2029.
Current Request: The request seeks authorization to execute Amendment 2 to Agreement PR00006257 with SEH, Inc., for final design of Nicollet Avenue (projects 2143101 and 2143102), increasing the not to exceed amount to $3,170,000 and extending the period to August 1, 2030.
Impacts/Outcomes: This action supports the county’s Toward Zero Deaths Action Plan, American with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan, Mobility 2040 Plan, and Climate Action Plan goals, and advances disparity elimination efforts by improving safety and accessibility for all people who use the corridor.
