Control Section (CS) # 0202 Dear Mr. Westby, I am writing to inform you of the decision reached by the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 Metro Local Partnership Program Selection Committee regarding the above referenced project. Your project was one of those selected from the 11 candidate projects submitted for consideration. The committee selected four projects. However, they selected more projects than we had funding for and directed us to offer less money for this project. The offer is for $612,000 instead of the $710,000 that was requested (a reduction of $98,000 or 13.80%). This includes funds for State -funding eligible construction and 8% of the eligible construction amount for Construction Engineering The award is for Riverdale Dr. frontage road extension with access TH 10 improvements. The funds are intended to construct a project as outlined in your proposal and may be used to supplement other applicable state and local funds being applied towards the project. The referenced funding amount is the total amount of MnDOT Metro Local Partnership Program (LPP) funding available for this project for Fiscal Year 2023. LPP funds can only be used for construction items that can be justified in accordance with the MnDOT Cost Participation Policy. If the cost of eligible items falls below this maximum amount, the funds awarded will be reduced to match the cost of the eligible items. A copy of the MnDOT Cost Participation Policy can be viewed at http://www.dot.state.mn.us/policy/financial/fm011.html. If this funding is accepted by your agency, you will be expected to provide project plans and specifications to my office that conform to the MnDOT Trunk Highway design format. The Municipal Agreement Program Plan Preparation, Design and Construction Guide will be useful in project development and can be viewed at http://www.dot.sLace.mii.usjmeiroistateaid/greenbook201.pdt. The project plans and specifications will be reviewed and commented on by MnDOT functional groups and by Central Office. We will provide the LPP process information upon request. All costs for Right -of -Way acquisition, Utility Relocation (as applicable) and Preliminary Engineering are the responsibility of the local agency. In addition, you will be required to request a Historical/Archeological Review through the State Aid website: http://www.dot.state.mn.us/stateaid/environmental-forms.html (under "Required Forms.")
