Proposal Packet Requirements (continued) 6. Supporting Documentation and Additional Materials Required Elements a. Indicate if right-of-way is expected to be acquired (temporary and permanent) and if any will be passed along to MnDOT. (All R/W acquired by and for MnDOT requires Environmental Due Diligence (EDD) forms to be completed during design.) b. Indicate if there will be any excavation below the level of Class 5. (This determines future involvement of the Office of Environmental Stewardship.) c If you are submitting applications for more than one project, please rank them in order of priority. The preference will be considered but the committee reserves the right to select any project from those submitted regardless of stated ranking. Suggested Elements While these materials are not required for the application, they may help the selection committee understand your project better and increase the likelihood of project selection. Please note that this information may be needed during the design phase if the project is selected. a. Traffic Study (as applicable) b. Approved Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) report or letter if an all -way stop, signal or roundabout is proposed c. Environmental studies or documentation if available, such as the following: i. Contaminated Properties/Regulated Waste Screening Checklist ii. Phase 1 and/or 2 Environmental Site Assessment iii. Clearance Letters from pertinent Regulatory Agencies iv. Project Memo, EA, EIS, etc. as applicable or available at time of submittal d. Compliance with Metropolitan Council Transportation Policy Plan (TPP), MnDOT/Metro Highway Investment Plan (HIP) or Local Comprehensive Plans as applicable, indicating how the proposal supports community development. Please note that during design, the review by MnDOT functional areas will be different from reviews you have typically experienced with State Aid plans. Ultimately, plans will need to be developed to MnDOT standards which are different than State Aid standards. There will be more need for coordination with and input from various MnDOT groups. Adequate discussion with MnDOT Area Managers or Cooperative Agreements staff will help to minimize surprises during the application and plan development stages. For projects that are selected, there are newer requirements required during design for all plans with Trunk Highway impacts. Discuss these with your design staff or include in your contract if you are using a consulting firm for design. These requirements are: • Quality Management Process (QMP) — Designers must have quality management procedures that they use during plan development. It does not have to be the same process that MnDOT uses, but it has to follow reasonable quality control guidelines and designers must certify that they are using such a process. A compliance form and more information will be provided during design. Details on MnDOT's process can be found here: http://www.dot.state.mn.us/design/gmn/index.html A - 2
