The proposed budget for FY 2019 is $3 million. The maximum award available for any individual <br />project is $710,000 which can include up to 8% for construction engineering. This solicitation letter is also <br />posted on the Metro State Aid website at: www.dot.state.mn.us/metro/stateaid/2019prog.pdf <br />The Metro District Municipal Agreement Program exists to provide funding for projects that deliver a benefit to <br />both the local community and the trunk highway system. These funds are intended to pay for a portion of the <br />Trunk Highway eligible construction costs of the project. The Right of Way, Utility Relocation, Preliminary Design <br />and Final Design costs are not eligible for funding. What MnDOT can pay for are the eligible Trunk Highway <br />construction costs and up to 8% of the construction engineering costs (for inspection, contract administration, <br />surveying and materials testing as applicable, based on the Trunk Highway eligible costs). Metro District's <br />participation in the projects is based on eligibility as determined in MnDOT's Cost Participation Policy, which in <br />turn is based on Minnesota Statutes. This policy and supporting information can be viewed at the following web <br />addresses: <br />http://www.dot.state.mn.us/metro/stateaid/Cost Part Manual-2016.0f <br />htto://www.dot.state.mn.ushoolicv/financial/fm011.html <br />The purpose of the Metro District Municipal Agreement Program is to address problems on the Trunk Highway <br />system that are of concern to Local Agencies, but are typically not large-scale or critical enough that they are <br />directly selected as projects in the regular MnDOT Road Program. Selected projects must <br />• Provide a clear benefit to the Trunk Highway system as well as to the local community <br />• Be developed and administered by the local agency <br />• Have preliminary design, final design, right-of-way and utility relocation costs (as appropriate) paid for <br />by the Local Agency <br />• Be designed to MnDOT Trunk Highway standards <br />Metro Municipal Agreement Program - Solicitation of Projects 1 <br />
