http://www.dot.state.mn.us/design/geometric/. Consider starting the Layout development process before project selection because of the time required for Layout review and approval. 3. A drawing of the existing conditions. This way the committee can clearly compare the proposed improvements to existing conditions. 4. Cost estimate. This should include the total project cost, including estimated design costs, estimated right- of-way costs, the contribution from any partners, and the amount requested from the LPP. o Make sure that the LPP funds requested adequately cover the Trunk Highway eligible costs. LPP funds are fully allocated during the selection process and providing additional State money later in the project is difficult, if not impossible. o Indicate other funding sources to clearly show that the project is fully funded. o If the project involves signals, include MnDOT's share of the State Furnished Materials (SFM). 5. 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 and evaluated during design.) b. Indicate if there will be any excavation deeper than the Class 5. (This determines future involvement of the Environmental Investigative Unit.) 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. 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, EAW, etc. as applicable or available at time of submittal Plan review will be completed by MnDOT functional areas (Traffic, Water Resources, etc.) and is different than reviews for State Aid plans. Plans need to be developed to MnDOT standards which are different than State Aid standards. There will be additional coordination with, and input from, various MnDOT groups. Local Agencies are advised to have staff or consultants experienced with MnDOT Trunk Highway projects directly involved with the plan development. Discussion with MnDOT Area Managers or LPP staff will help to minimize surprises during the application and plan development stages. A-2
