TH 610 Completion Design-Build Project
DRAFT Scoring Criteria
*These criteria are subject to change prior to the release of the Design-Build Request For
Proposals, which is scheduled for April 30th, 2014. No clarification process exists for these criteria,
however potential Proposers are invited to offer comments to the Project Manger or Design-Build
Program Manager if desired.*
1)
Geometric Quality (11 Points)
Provide a narrative, supported by exhibits in Appendix C, detailing the Proposer’s intentions for the
Project geometric design. The narrative shall state the degree to which these intentions are final
commitments. MnDOT will evaluate the following subfactors:

Safety of the Proposer’s geometric design as demonstrated by the commitments. (5 points)

Efficiency of the traffic flow within the Proposer’s geometric design as demonstrated by the
commitments. (4 points)

Elimination or effective mitigation of hazards within the clear zone associated with the bridges
over CSAH 81 and the railroad. (2 points)
2)
Environmental Management (10 Points)
Provide a narrative that describes the Proposer’s approach to reducing environmental impacts to the
residents, businesses, and other environmental resources in the Project area during construction. The
narrative may contain specific commitments to reduce these impacts. MnDOT will evaluate the
following subfactors:




Approach and commitments to minimizing impacts to Rush Creek and Elm Creek. (3 points)
Approach and commitments to minimize vibration impacts to Project stakeholders during
construction, including the Fairview Maple Grove Medical Center. (3 points)
Approach and commitments to maintain a high quality temporary storm water, erosion control,
and sediment control program during construction. (2 points)
Approach and commitments to minimize noise and dust impacts to Project stakeholders during
construction. (2 points)
3)
Maintenance (9 Points)
Provide a narrative, supported by exhibits in the Appendices as necessary, that describes the Proposer’s
approach to designing and constructing a high quality product that minimizes the need for future
maintenance, operation costs, and inspection activities. Describe plans for the Project drainage system
within the narrative. The narrative may contain specific commitments to minimize future maintenance,
operation costs, and inspection activities. MnDOT will evaluate the following subfactors:


Approach and commitments to minimize future drainage system maintenance, operation costs,
and inspection activities. This subfactor includes, but is not limited to, subsurface drainage,
infiltration basins, and filtration basins. (6 points)
Approach and commitments to minimize the maintenance, operation costs, and inspection
activities related to graded slopes on the Project. (3 points)
4)
Maintenance of Traffic (7 Points)
Provide a narrative, supported by exhibits in the Appendices, that describes the Contractor’s approach to
construction staging and traffic management. The narrative may contain specific commitments to
increase the safety and traffic flow characteristics of the maintenance of traffic plans. MnDOT will
evaluate the following subfactors:



Approach and commitments to minimize traffic impacts on I-94 and County Road 81. (3 points)
Approach and commitments to maintaining access to the residents, farms, and other stakeholders
along 101st Avenue North and 105th Avenue North. (2 points)
Approach and commitments to minimize traffic impacts on Maple Grove Parkway and Fernbrook
Lane North. (2 points)
5)
Future Expansion (4 points)
Provide a narrative, supported by exhibits in the Appendices as necessary, that describes how the
Contractor’s proposed design is compatible with the future TH 610 expansion plans. Describe the
compatibility of the Project drainage system with the construction of the future system within the
narrative. Describe which elements of the Project are not compatible with the future construction.
MnDOT will evaluate the following subfactors:



6)
Compatibility of the proposed design and construction approach with the future TH 610
expansion plans.
Minimization of items that are not compatible with the future design.
Constructability of the future design.
Protection of Existing Infrastructure (3 Points)
Provide a narrative that describes the Proposer’s approach to avoiding impacts to existing Metropolitan
Council infrastructure along the Project corridor. MnDOT will evaluate the following subfactor:

7)
Approach to avoiding or minimizing impacts to MCES infrastructure, including both its function
and maintainability.
Railroad (3 Points)
Provide a narrative that describes the Proposer’s approach to working alongside the Burlington Northern
Santa Fe (BNSF) railroad. MnDOT will evaluate the following subfactor:

8)
Approach to planning, coordinating, and scheduling work on the railroad bridges with BNSF.
Preliminary Schedule (3 Points)
Provide a short narrative, supported by exhibits in the Appendices, that describes the Proposer’s approach
to completing the work planned for the project. MnDOT will evaluate the following subfactors:


Adequacy and reliability of the identified critical elements.
Clarity, adequacy, and reliability of the schedule logic and task durations
