Action Requested
Adopt, by motion, a resolution entering a Master Partnership Contract with the Minnesota Department of
Transportation.
Background/Discussion
The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDC)`I) wishes to renew the existing contract (Agreement #
2017-12) with the City of Elk River that is set to expire on June 30, 2022. This contract enhanced the efficiency of
delivering intergovernmental services between the city and MnDOT.
The attached partnership contract provides a framework for providing services and payment to each other to
respond to such opportunities quickly and efficiently for collaboration, having the ability to write "work orders"
against a master contract such as the one attached provides for speed and flexibility in responding to those needs.
Financial Impact
The Master Partnership Contract contains terms that allow the city to enter into "work order" contracts, which
specify the work to be done, timelines for completion, and compensation to be paid for the specific work. No
direct impact is associated with the approval of this contract.
Mission/Policy/Goal

3. Services Requiring a Work Order Contract
3.1. Work Order Contracts: A party may request the other party to perform any of the following services under
individual work order contracts.
3.2. Professional and Technical Services. A party may provide professional and technical services upon the
request of the other party. As defined by Minn. Stat. §16C.08, subd. 1, professional/technical services

MnDOT Contract Number: 1050153
relocation assistance, but excluding the exercise of the power of eminent domain), geometric layouts, final
construction plans, graphic presentations, public relations, and facilitating open houses. A party will
normally provide such services with its own personnel; however, a party's professional/technical services

provides active project management for the use of such outside consultants.
3.3. Roadway Maintenance. A party may provide roadway maintenance upon the request of the other party.
Roadway maintenance does not include roadway reconstruction. This work may include but is not limited to
snow removal, ditch spraying, roadside mowing, bituminous mill and overlay (only small projects), seal coat,

with sufficient skills, training, expertise or certification to perform such work, and work must be supervised
by a qualified employee of the party performing the work. If it is not feasible to have an executed work
order prior to performance of the work, the parties will promptly confer to determine whether work may be
commenced without a fully -executed work order in place. If work commences without a fully -executed work
order, the parties will follow up with execution of a work order as soon as feasible.
3.6. When a need is identified, the State and the Other Party will discuss the proposed work and the resources
needed to perform the work. If a party desires to perform such work, the parties will negotiate the specific

contract will be limited to one specific project/engagement, although "on call" work orders may be prepared
for certain types of services, especially for "Technical Services" items as identified section 2.1.. The work

approved by the same parties who executed and approved this MPC, or their successors in office.

Providing Party must, at the request of the Requesting Party, execute all papers and perform all
other acts necessary to transfer or record the Requesting Party's ownership interest in the Works

irrevocable and royalty -free license to use such intellectual property for its own non-commercial
purposes, including dissemination to political subdivisions of the state of Minnesota and to
transportation -related agencies such as the American Association of State Highway and
Transportation Officials.
14.2.2. Obligations with Respect to Intellectual Property.
Notification. Whenever any invention, improvement, or discovery (whether or not patentable) is
made or conceived for the first time or actually or constructively reduced to practice by the
Providing Party, including its employees and subcontractors, in the performance of the work
order contract, the Providing Party will immediately give the Requesting Party's Authorized
Representative written notice thereof, and must promptly furnish the Authorized Representative

any interest in and to the Works and Documents.

to Minn. Stat. §363A.36. Pursuant to that Statute, the Other Party is encouraged to prepare and implement
an affirmative action plan for the employment of minority persons, women, and the qualified disabled, and
submit such plan to the Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Human Rights. In addition, when the
Other Party lets a contract for the performance of work under a work order issued pursuant to this MPC, it
must include the following in the bid or proposal solicitation and any contracts awarded as a result thereof:
15.2. Covered Contracts and Contractors. If the Contract exceeds $100,000 and the Contractor employed more
than 40 full-time employees on a single working day during the previous 12 months in Minnesota or in the
state where it has its principle place of business, then the Contractor must comply with the requirements of
Minn. Stat. § 363A.36 and Minn. R. Parts 5000.3400-5000.3600. A Contractor covered by Minn. Stat. §
363A.36 because it employed more than 40 full-time employees in another state and does not have a
certificate of compliance, must certify that it is in compliance with federal affirmative action requirements.
93
MnDOT Contract Number: 1050153
15.3. Minn. Stat. § 363A.36. Minn. Stat. § 363A.36 requires the Contractor to have an affirmative action plan for
the employment of minority persons, women, and qualified disabled individuals approved by the Minnesota
Commissioner of Human Rights ("Commissioner") as indicated by a certificate of compliance. The law
addresses suspension or revocation of a certificate of compliance and contract consequences in that event.
A contract awarded without a certificate of compliance may be voided.
15.4. Minn. R. Parts 5000.3400-5000.3600.
15.4.1. General. Minn. R. Parts 5000.3400-5000.3600 implement Minn. Stat. § 363A.36. These rules include,
but are not limited to, criteria for contents, approval, and implementation of affirmative action
plans; procedures for issuing certificates of compliance and criteria for determining a contractor's
compliance status; procedures for addressing deficiencies, sanctions, and notice and hearing; annual
compliance reports; procedures for compliance review; and contract consequences for non-
compliance. The specific criteria for approval or rejection of an affirmative action plan are contained
