Transportation Corridor Planning Study:

Interestate (I) 694 between Brooklyn Boulevard in Brooklyn Center and Lexington Avenue in Arden

Hills

Study Background

State will perform a transportation corridor planning study along I-694 between Brooklyn Boulevard in

Brooklyn Center and Lexington Avenue in Arden Hills. This segment of I-694 is one of the most heavily

traveled stretches of the Metro Regional Highway System, with typical weekday mainline traffic volumes

of 125,000 to 155,000 vehicles. It is among the most congested segments of the regional system, with

travel delays occurring well beyond peak hours. Safety is also of concern for drivers on this highway

segment, as several locations have high critical crash rates; and for pedestrians and bicyclists as well,

with several intersecting roads included on State’s Vulnerable Road User High Injury Network.

The study will present and analyze current and future transportation conditions; identify transportation

safety and mobility needs for all users; and recommend alternatives to inform long-range transportation

improvements (10 years or more). The study will also present short-range recommendations to help

scope the State-planned resurfacing and bridge maintenance project on I-694 from Shingle Creek

Parkway in Brooklyn Center to Highway 10 in New Brighton that is programmed in State Fiscal Year (FY)

2033 (estimated combined costs of approximately $86 million).

The study will include an implementation plan for both long- and short-range recommendations that

presents planning level cost estimates, identifies potential funding gaps and funding opportunities,

engages local partners, and outlines the next steps in the project development process.

Major Contractor tasks and deliverables include:

1. Study management and administration.

2. Corridor conditions report.

3. Transportation conditions and 2050 forecasting.

4. Needs identification and evaluation criteria.

5. Alternatives development and screening.

6. Long-range alternatives recommendations (“corridor vision”).

7. Short-range alternatives recommendations (low-cost/high benefit elements for FY 2032

projects).

8. Agency coordination.

9. Implementation plan for long- and short-range alternatives.

10. Study documentation and report.

11. Coordination with a separate public engagement team managed by state.

This study does not include National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) analysis or review.

Study limits:

Westerly: Brooklyn Boulevard in the City of Brooklyn Center

Easterly: Lexington Avenue in the City of Arden Hills

Northerly: Buffer extending one-half mile north of I-694

Southerly: Buffer extending one-half mile south of I-694

Contractor personnel and subcontractors. This includes ongoing team meetings and coordination

throughout the study.

1.2 Administration

Contractor will perform all administrative tasks necessary to successfully carry out the study and

complete its deliverables, including but not limited to:

a) A study kick-off meeting within 21 days of notice to proceed for State functional staff and others

identified by State.

b) Regular small group or one-on-one project manager coordination meetings with State’s project

manager on at least a biweekly interval, and more frequently if deemed necessary by State.

c) Regular meeting on at least a bi-weekly interval with the Community and Engagement lead.

d) Notes and/or a project log that documents key information, decisions, and discussions.

e) Monthly invoices accompanied by a cover letter explaining project status, percent of work

complete, remaining effort, any schedule changes, and direct expense receipts/documentation.

f) Monthly progress reports for the month and to date for each task.

g) Monthly schedule update with cost and percent completion information.

h) Storing of all deliverables in an electronic document management system (e.g., SharePoint) that

makes deliverables and working drafts available to State’s project manager at all times. Final

deliverables to be submitted by email, ProjectWise (facilitated by state), and/or SharePoint.

i) All other work to ensure the study tasks are completed within budget and schedule.

1.3 Schedule

Contractor will prepare and maintain the project schedule. An Excel file in Gantt chart or similar format

is preferred. The anticipated study duration is 18 months. The schedule will be a “living document”

based on mutually agreed-upon dates and will be the primary tool for setting the dates of the meetings

described in this Scope of Work. The schedule will also describe review periods for deliverables. State

review of Contractor deliverables are assumed to be no more than two weeks unless otherwise stated

or agreed upon. Contractor and State will jointly review and revise the schedule as needed to adjust

submittal requirements, review dates, and major milestones no less than every three months.

1.4 Project Management Plan (PMP)

Contractor will develop and submit within 30 days of notice to proceed a PMP that will include the study

description, the project team, project communications, task assignments, study schedule and key

milestones, deliverables, budget and fee, and identified risk.

1.5 Quality Management Plan (QMP)
