Title

APPROVAL OF CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT NO. 1000033 WITH THE MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Background

A requirement of the Walmart development on Ball Road is the developer's lengthening of the I35W exit ramp at Lexington Avenue, addition of a second turn lane on south bound Lexington Avenue to Ball Road, and traffic signal modifications within MNDOT right of way. MNDOT has prepared a zero dollar agreement for the construction that requires City Council approval and execution. The agreement states that the City will perform all work, which the City has assigned to the developer as a development obligation.  MNDOT is aware that the work will be performed by the developer's contractor at the developer's expense but requires this agreement with the City to permit the work to occur within their right of way.    

Recommendation

By motion, approve the Resolution.
