Background:
Since 1992, Hennepin County has contracted with the City of Bloomington for operation and routine maintenance of county-owned traffic signal systems within the Airport South Area. Geographically, the Airport South Area is bound by Interstate 494 on the north, Trunk Highway 77 on the west and the Minnesota River on the southeast. The county and the city both have existing traffic signal systems in the Airport South Area and its immediate vicinity. Given the city’s regular engagement in the Mall of America operations, and adjacent light rail transit operations, it is mutually beneficial for the city to continue to maintain, repair, time and coordinate all the city and county-owned traffic signal systems in this vicinity.
Current Request:
Authorize the negotiation of Agreement PW 01-07-24 with the City of Bloomington for operation and routine maintenance of county-owned traffic signal systems located at the following intersections:
• American Boulevard/East 80th Street
• Lindau Lane/East 81st Street
• East 82nd Street
• Transit Station (8300 24th Avenue South)
• Killebrew Drive/East Old Shakopee Road
• East 86th Street
The estimated total cost for the five-year maintenance agreement with the city is $98,500. The term of this agreement begins on January 1, 2025 and will remain in effect until December 31, 2029, with annual funding provided by the Transportation Operations Department operating budget.
This agreement is similar in scope to current agreement PW 41-07-19 (Resolution 19-0415), which is set to expire on December 31, 2024.
Impact/Outcome:
This action will continue the routine maintenance of traffic signals along CSAH 1 in the Airport South Area of Bloomington in a timely and cost-effective manner, which supports a safe, accessible, and efficient multimodal transportation system.
