• A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ELK RIVER
A RESOLUTION ENTERING INTO A MASTER PARTNERSHIP
CONTRACT WITH THE STATE OF MINNESOTA
Whereas, The Minnesota Department of Transportation wishes to cooperate closely with local units
of government to coordinate the delivery of transportation services and maximize the
efficient delivery of such services at all levels of government;and
Whereas, MnDOT and local governments are authorized by Minnesota Statutes sections 471.59,
174.02,and 161.20,to undertake collaborative efforts for the design, construction,
maintenance, and operation of state and local roads;and
Whereas, the parties wish to be able to respond quickly and efficiently to such opportunities for
collaboration, and have determined that having the ability to write "work orders" against a
Master Contract would provide the greatest speed and flexibility in responding to
identified needs.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Elk River:
• 1. That the City of Elk River enter into a Master Partnership Contract with the Minnesota
Department of Transportation, a copy of which was before the Council.
2. That the proper city officers are authorized to execute such contract,and any amendments
thereto.
3. That the city engineer is authorized to negotiate work order contracts pursuant to the Master
Contract,which work order contracts may provide for payment to or from MnDOT, and that the
city engineer may execute such work order contracts on behalf of the City of Elk River without
further approval by this Council.
Passed and adopted this 17th day of December, 2012.
