Background:
This segment of Marshall Street is nearing the end of its service life and needs to be reconstructed. The county, in partnership with the City of Minneapolis, is leading the reconstruction project, which includes the following:
• New sidewalk, pavement, curb and gutter, and storm water structures
• Accessibility improvements including crossing enhancements
• Protected bikeways
• Traffic signal upgrades
As the design begins, the project team will build on previous county planning and engagement efforts to further refine concepts that best meet the project goals and serve the needs of the community. The project is scheduled for construction in 2027.
On November 15, 2023, the county sent out a request for proposals using the enterprise contracting process and five firms responded. Through a quality based competitive selection process, Bolton & Menk, Inc. was selected. The firm is committed to meeting the small and minority business project goal of 20%.
Bolton & Menk, Inc. will provide preliminary design engineering and professional services, including project management, public engagement, traffic and alternatives analysis, layout for approval, geotechnical investigation, and topographic survey. An amendment to this agreement is expected for project final design, bidding, and construction support. Adequate consulting funding is available in the project budget.
