Locally Administered Trunk Highway Projects
State Aid for Local Transportation is assisting the Mn/DOT district staff in the roll out and signature process for a new locally administered contract process. This contract process can be used by the districts for requesting local units of government to perform work on behalf of Mn/DOT and emphasizes our continuing efforts to form state/local agency partnerships. It is intended to be the reverse of the MnDOT partnership agreement and includes different work order paths specific to the type of work being performed. Please refer to the flow chart below.
Approval of the Master Contract is the first step in the contract process. The process will be tracked by State Aid and will be administered by the Districts. Every agency using this process will execute a master contract with Mn/DOT working through their appropriate District Engineer. The execution of the master contract will allow the district engineers to negotiate and write project specific work orders up to one million dollars for a five-year time period.
Any agency interested in initiating this contract process should contact their District Engineer or your District State Aid Engineer.
