Article 1
Project Background
MnDOT has scheduled a design-build project primarily located at the I-35E and
Maryland Avenue interchange in Saint Paul. Included is the design and construction of a
new bridge to replace the existing bridge over I-35E. The superstructure of the new
bridge will be constructed in a staging area and moved to its final constructed location
using Self-Propelled Modular Transporters (SPMT). Work under this contract involves
design and construction engineering services for this bridge identified as Bridge No.
62626.
MnDOT anticipates that the DBC will not be co-located with MnDOT and that they will
have staff working remotely. For these reasons, MnDOT has required the DBC to provide
a SMART Board at the Mendota Heights project office and at the office(s) of their
designer and Bridge Design SPMT Engineer. More information can be found in Book 2
Section 2 of the Project’s Request For Proposals.
The Contractor will serve as an extension of MnDOT’s staff by performing bridge design
and construction engineering services for Bridge No. 62626. All work will be in
accordance with the Contract Documents and Design Documents for the Project. The
Contractor will provide personnel for engineering support as needed. MnDOT anticipates
that the majority of the Contractor’s work can be performed remotely. Tasks where the
Contractor is required to be at the Project site are identified in this scope of work.

Contract Administration
MnDOT will provide a Project Manager to give direction to the Contractor’s activities. It
will be the responsibility of MnDOT’s Project Manager to receive the work produced by
the Contractor, review the work for compliance with contract requirements, and to

The Contractor’s Project Manager will conduct the administration of the project, which
will include communication with MnDOT, invoicing, supplemental agreements, cost and
schedule updates, billing preparation, and other non-technical work.
No changes in the Contractor’s project management personnel will be made without
