MnDOT Contract Number: 1062533

Exhibit A: Speciﬁcations, Duties, and Scope of Work

Description of Project:

MnDOT’s Oﬃce of Sustainability and Public Health (OSPH) is looking for a consultant to update and deliver Complete

Streets 101 technical trainings in 2026 and 2027. The Complete Streets 101 training is for agency staﬀ and partners to

support implementation of the updated MnDOT Complete Streets policy. The proposed approach is to hold 2-3 2-day

training opportunities. Trainings will be the same except for tailoring of a location-speciﬁc case study. The curriculum and

materials for this training will build upon a training delivered in spring and summer 2025 to agency staﬀ. This includes

use of an interactive Complete Streets design kit to support an interactive cross-section classroom activity. Updates to

the training curriculum and materials will include new content, including but not limited to municipal and county policies

and agency and state priorities such as greenhouse gas reduction, traveler choice, climate resilience, creative use of our

right of way and improving public health.

OSPH is also looking for the consultant to develop and pilot a Complete Streets “In My Role” technical training for agency

maintenance staﬀ. The training will tailor the Complete Streets content to support maintenance staﬀ in understanding

the policy and its implication for their work. The Successful Responder will work with MnDOT Project Manager and

agency staﬀ to develop training curriculum and materials. The training could be oﬀered virtually or in-person.

Project Tasks:

Task 1 - Project kick-oﬀ/Project management - 10%

Under this task, the Successful Responder will work in partnership with the MnDOT Project Manager to facilitate

development and implementation of the training over the course of the contract. This task includes the initial overall

development of the training course, including updating the existing curriculum outline based on feedback from the

previous training and consultant input. Training schedule, duration, and delivery method (in-person or virtual) will be

ﬁnalized during this task.

Below is a sample schedule for a 100% in-person training.

5. Best practices panel

Deliverables: 8-10 project coordination meetings (estimated).

Task 2 – Staﬀ Complete Streets 101 Training and Evaluation – 60%

For this task, the Successful Responder will update, facilitate and evaluate Complete Streets 101 training sessions to

advance technical implementation of the agency Complete Streets policy. Training objectives are to:

1. Increase understanding of Complete Streets, a Safe System Approach, ﬂexible design principles, and how

The training will target planning, project management, traﬃc engineering, project design, and engineering staﬀ – in

particular those who are involved in the transition and management of projects between planning to scoping and who

steward projects through ﬁnal design. It will also target transportation planning and design consultant staﬀ and

municipal planning and engineering partners.

Each of the 2-3 trainings will feature a unique case study, preferably of a MnDOT project that is on-deck to transition

from planning to scoping. It is anticipated that MnDOT will host one training in fall 2026 and two trainings in

spring/summer 2027 to allow attendance ﬂexibility. Anticipate 25-35 attendees for each training session.

The Successful Responder will:

1. Review feedback from 2025 Complete Streets trainings and update curriculum and materials in collaboration

with MnDOT staﬀ.

2. Develop new curriculum content, including but not limited to municipal and county policies and agency and

state priorities such as greenhouse gas reduction, traveler choice, climate resilience, creative use of our right of

way and improving public health.

3. Develop, distribute, and summarize results from a pre-training survey of participants to gauge their current

understanding of the material.

4. Develop draft and ﬁnal training materials for an in-person training. This includes an agenda, participant

packet/binder, and an annotated PowerPoint presentation.

5. Facilitate 1 training dry-run session with presenters for each of the 2-3 trainings.

6. Develop materials for 1 unique case study for each of the 2-3 trainings.

7. Develop materials for and facilitate up to 2-3 ﬁeld walks (one per location).

8. Provide at least two staﬀ to deliver the trainings (or a portion of them) in-person. One training should be hosted

urban commercial, or urban residential context), and one training should be hosted in a Twin Cities suburb

(suburban commercial or suburban residential context).

9. Record at least 1 training session and format into video segments for MnDOT to share as an on-demand, internal

staﬀ resource.

10. Develop evaluation materials to be distributed at the trainings.
