Background:
Hennepin County; in collaboration with the City of Minneapolis, Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board, Metropolitan Council, and Minnesota Department of Transportation; is leading a multimodal improvement project along Hennepin and First avenues from Main Street to Eighth Street and along Main Street between Hennepin and First avenues, which is scheduled for construction in 2024.
The county contracted with Bolton & Menk, Inc. through Agreement PR00002153 for design and engineering services at county cost not to exceed $1.1 million (Resolution 21-0424) and then amended the work authorization to increase the contract to $1.45 million for additional engineering services (Resolution 23-0142). Amendment 2 will allow for completion of the final design services, increasing the contract to $1.65 million. In addition, Bolton & Menk was selected from four firms that submitted proposals for construction administration, inspection, and surveying services. The firm is committed to meet the small and minority business project goal of 13%.
