Every project that utilizes State Aid or federal aid monies in the financing of the project must have a State Aid project number assigned. This project number is obtained from the State Aid Division. To obtain project numbers, complete the Request for State Aid Project Number form and submit to the State Aid Division.
New bridge or culvert numbers are obtained by calling the Mn/DOT Bridge Management Office personnel as listed here .
During the preparation of plans, it is suggested that this manual and the appropriate Mn/DOT manuals be referred to for guidance. Plans with bridges, structures, retaining walls, or non-standard culverts should be coordinated with the State Aid Bridge Unit throughout plan preparation and approval.
State Aid and federal aid projects can be approved for construction only after submittal of suitable plans and required documentation. All plans are to be submitted to the District State Aid Engineer (DSAE) for processing well in advance of the desired bid opening date. Plans for most State Aid projects may be approved in the District by the DSAE. State Aid Rule 8820.2800 requires the approval of State Aid funded plans by the State Aid Engineer, or designee, prior to bid opening.
The DSAE will forward all plans that include federal aid funds to the State Aid Division for processing and approval. The Metro District State Aid Office reviews and processes the federal aid plans for projects in the Metro District. Specially funded federal aid projects, such as emergency contracts, projects involving the National Highway System, Forest Highways, or as specified in the FHWA-Mn/DOT Stewardship Plan (PDF) will also require FHWA approval of the PS&E prior to authorizing advertisement for bids.
