4. Disclaimer What is discussed today is informational only, meant to assist interested teams in the pursuit of this project. The ultimate contract requirements will be included in the Request for Proposals (RFP). There may be changes between now and the time the RFP is issued and the proposal due date.

5. Why Design-Build? • Design and Construction Integration • Acknowledgement of Potential Specialty Designs and Construction Techniques • Industry Expertise • Industry Innovation • Not Acceleration

6. Design-BuildBest-Value • Two-Step Procurement Process • RFQ (Request for Qualifications) • RFP (Request for Proposals) • RFQ • Short-List Up to 5 Teams • “Most Highly Qualified” • Addendums and clarifications posted to FTP site • E-mail notification to those who responded to LOI

7. Procurement Timeline(Subject to Change) ACTIVITY DATE Issue RFQ Aug 20, 2013 Statement of Qualifications Due October 11, 2013 Short List of Submitters October 28, 2013 Issue RFP December 8, 2013 Price Proposals Due March 26, 2014 Anticipated Contract March, 2014

8. Design-BuildBest-Value • RFP • Issued only to the short-listed teams • Placed on website, along with clarifications/addenda • Alternative Technical Concepts (ATCs) • Will be allowed, likely 5-10 • “Equal or better” design. Cost not included in calculation. • Stipends • $40,000 • Larger than usual: More than 0.5% of project total

9. Design-Build Webpage http://www.dot.state.mn.us/designbuild

10. Design-BuildBest-Value • Pre-Approved Elements (PAEs) • Similar to a required ATC, used to mitigate letting risk • May be one for the ‘big’ geotechnical slope solution • Warranty • There will be a warranty on the ‘big’ slope solution • The warranty terms will be based upon monitored slope performance • We do not anticipate that the warranty term will be longer than 3 years. • This is the reason for the large ($2 million) warranty bond

11. Design-BuildBest-Value • No Co-Housing • Teams are encouraged to collaborate as a distance, except as listed otherwise in the RFP for particular personnel (I.e. Construction Manager) • Disadvantaged-Business Enterprises • The DBE percentage required for the project is being calculated • Project Oversight • At the moment it does not appear there will be a consultant oversight team. MnDOT will staff the oversight.

12. Statement of Qualifications • No resumes for Level B personnel; can’t be considered • Be sensitive to page limits • 10 pages more than usual • Don’t play games with text size or location • When in doubt, ask • Split personnel only allowed as listed • Review definition of ‘Major Participant’ • No Interview Planned • Debriefing will be offered, assuming no Protests

13. Design-Build 101 • Extensive coordination between Contractor and Designer required. Has been an issue for some newcomers. • Design-Build team holds more risk • Can make positive choices to impact progress of project • Are also responsible for errors and omissions in design • Books and Specifications (2014 Book) • Reference Information (RID) • MnDOT will post the information that we have • This information is not guaranteed unless specifically stated in RFP

14. Project Information PROJECT SITE

15. General • Project is funded with Federal and State funds only • Public Informational Open House will be scheduled • Project limits are: As shown on the previous slide • Roadway • The original plans from 1998 were place on the FTP site. IF the Trunk Highway is chosen to be removed, it is expected that it is replaced back to its current layout and design. It would be expected to use current specifications for items such as concrete paving. • Drainage • There are two Storm Sewer outlets on this slope that need to be maintained.

16. Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) • US 2 traffic needs be maintained at a minimum of one lane in each direction • There are no detours designated at this time • Construction in roadway areas, if needed, will not allowed during winter • General staging will not be allowed on the roadway. An additional staging site may be needed. • Permits • NPDES, the need will have to be addressed depending on the fix and will be the responsibility of the team. • No COE needed, provided we stay above the HW elevation • Final Look • The area is intended to have a similar appearance and land use to what is currently in place.

17. Utilities • All of the utilities are under or adjacent to the road. • There has not been a Subsurface Utility locate done • Utilities • Gas – Great Plains Natural • Power – Ottertail Power • Television – Midcontinent Communications • Telephone – Centurylink • Water and Sanitary – City of Crookston

18. Project Partners • MnDOT • Polk County • City of Crookston

19. Goals • Design a slope stabilization solution that includes: • A high global stability factor • The ability to resist future flooding events • Minimization of slope creep, principally through earth reinforcement or ground improvement techniques • Minimize potential adverse effects both within and beyond the project limits • Construct the slope stabilization solution utilizing high quality techniques • Provide a safe work environment for workers/public

20. Goals • Develop a comprehensive and reliable monitoring system that demonstrates the implemented solution is effective • Substantial Completion prior to the summer of 2015 • Minimize traffic impacts to TH 2, with no impact from November 2014 through April 2015 • Design and construct an efficient design within the project budget • Design and construct a safe solution that minimizes negative impacts to the aesthetic features of the green space

21. Letters of Interest (LOI) Received • Braun Intertec • Brierley Associates • Costal Drilling East • Dan Brown & Assoc. • Duininck Inc. • Engineering and Construction Innovation • Gale-Tec Engineering • URS Corp • Geocomp • Hayward Baker Inc. • Industrial Builders Inc. • JAFEC USA Inc. • Raito Inc. • Schnabel Foundation Co. • SRF Consulting • Veit USA
