Exhibit A: Specifications, Duties, and Scope of Work
Preliminary and Final Design for State Project (SP) 5904-27
Project Overview
Independent Contractor
The Contractor agrees it is acting in the role of an independent contractor. The Contractor, and its
employees and subcontractors, will not be considered employees of the State for any reason. The
Contractor acknowledges that it is responsible for its own financial control. The Contractor has
negotiated the payment for this contract with the State, which may result in a profit or loss for the
Contractor. The Contractor also acknowledges that it is responsible for the behavioral control of itself,
its operations, and its staff. The Contractor is solely responsible for determining the means, methods,
and sequence of performing the work covered by this contract. The State has included deliverable dates
in this contract, not to provide a “sequence” of work but because the State must coordinate these
deliverables with (1) the State’s financial plans, (2) other contracts managed by the State, and (3) work
performed by the State’s own staff. The parties have mutually drafted and agreed upon a scope of work.
The level of detail used to describe the work is intended only to establish minimum standards and
ensure consistency across the hundreds of projects managed by the State; the Contractor remains
responsible for determining the means and methods of performing the work to meet or exceed those
requirements. The State will not directly supervise the Contractor’s work but will provide oversight and
monitoring, as required by Minnesota Statutes §16C.08 and 23 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part
172.5, to ensure compliance with the terms, conditions, and specifications of this contract. At the
conclusion of this contract, the State will evaluate the Contractor’s performance under this contract for
potential use in future evaluations and selections as required by Minnesota Statutes §16C.08 and 23 CFR
Part 172.5.
General Statement of Scope of Work
The purpose of this contract is to provide the State with project development and deliverables needed
to bring SP 5904-27 to letting on schedule. The products and services needed for this project include,
but are not limited to; project management, public and agency involvement, environmental work,
supplemental surveying, geometric layout, construction limit roll plot, traffic engineering, hydraulic
design, environmental permitting, detailed design, utility coordination, and post-letting construction
design support. State’s Bridge Office will be designing the bridge box culvert plans.
Project Background
SP 5904-27 is a medium mill and overlay along Trunk Highway (TH) 30 from TH 75 in the City of
Pipestone to 60th Avenue in the City of Lake Wilson. There will be Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
improvements and some storm sewer work within the City of Lake Wilson. This project also includes 5
bridge box culvert replacements (nos. 4566, 4468, 8173, 8716, 8172) and an additional 10 centerline
culvert replacements (9 box culverts).
Web-Based Teleconferencing
The Contractor must provide the means for the project team to meet via web-based teleconferencing
that allows participants to view the desktop of the meeting organizer. Participants must be able to “take
control” of the virtual desktop as needed to point out things on the file being displayed. Voice
communication should occur via computer but may be by phone upon request if suitable for the entire
team.
