Title
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A MASTER PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT WITH MNDOT TO COOPERATIVELY PROVIDE ROADWORK SERVICES.
Body
CITY PROPOSAL:
RESOLVED, that the proper city officials are hereby authorized to enter into an agreement substantially in the form of the attached “Exhibit A” with the Minnesota Department of Transportation to cooperate in the provision of services related to the design, construction and maintenance of roadways, provided that authorized work orders will be approved in accordance with Chapter 41 of the Duluth City Code, 1959, as amended.
Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution will authorize a Master Partnership Agreement between the city and MnDOT to cooperatively provide services related to the design, construction and maintenance of roadways in the city of Duluth.
This contract is termed a “master partnership agreement” because it provides the basic outline of an agreement which can extend to many contracts. It is an “umbrella agreement” which provides the basic terms for many projects. Each individual project is then covered by a “work order” which specifies which party performs the work and what the work is to consist of, and establishes the amount to be paid by the other party for the work. These work order agreements are approved separately by resolution.
The city of Duluth and MnDOT have had similar agreements for many years. This resolution will authorize extending this relationship through June 30, 2027.
