The proposed funding currently <br />available for FY 2022 is $3 million. The maximum award available for any individual project is $710,000 which <br />can include up to 8% for construction engineering. This solicitation letter is also posted on the Metro State Aid <br />website at: www.doi.sulieanti.usimeLro/stdieaid/2022prog.pdf <br />The Metro District LPP exists to help fund projects that deliver a benefit to both the local community and the <br />trunk highway system. These funds can pay for Trunk Highway eligible construction costs and up to 8% of the <br />construction engineering costs (for inspection, contract administration, surveying and materials testing as <br />applicable, based on eligible costs). The Right of Way, Utility Relocation, Preliminary Design and Final Design <br />costs are not eligible for funding. Metro District's participation in the projects is based on eligibility as <br />determined in MnDOT's Cost Participation Policy, which in turn is based on Minnesota Statutes. This policy and <br />supporting information can be viewed at the following web addresses: <br />http://www.dot.state.mn.us/metro/stateaid/Cosh. Part Manual-2017.pdf <br />http://www.dot.state.mn.us/policy/financial/fm011.html <br />The purpose of the Metro District LPP is to address problems on the Trunk Highway system that are of concern <br />to Local Agencies, but are typically not large-scale or critical enough that they are directly selected as projects in <br />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 Local Partnership Program - Solicitation of Projects 1 <br />
