Interagency coordination agreement. |
- Have signed agreement with environmental groups (for example, Corps of Engineers and other permitting agencies) to have the site identified later for mitigation. Next step in the process.
|
|
Utility/Right-of-way purchased +/- 1 year in advance. |
|
|
Right-of-way (R/W) purchases for utilities, interstates, and state highways. |
- Coordination of buying of the property for the roadway project.
|
- Statutory changes.
- AG decision.
|
Earlier utility office involvement for utility R/W purchases |
|
|
R/W and utility layout meeting. |
|
|
Use more review fee appraisers. |
|
|
Title Orders - get as many as possible within reason because it is easy to do. |
- Identify critical path parcels to help in the process. Prioritize the titles.
|
|
Coordinating the R/W acquisition associated with the construction staging. |
- Stage and prioritize the right-of-way acquisition based on critical parcels and construction staging, such as total takes, commercial property, railroads, cemetery, etc.
|
|
Staged R/W acquisition like design-build (D/B) projects. |
|
|
Only using SUE on D/B. Should think about doing it here. |
- Assures or finds missing utilities.
- Needs to use more SUE.
- Other states have seen benefits associated with using SUE to avoid utility-caused delays.
|
- State policy, education of design personnel.
|
Get contracts established as early as possible. Associated assessments and abatements. |
- Possible separate building removals contracts.
|
- Scope of work timing issues.
|
Proceed or obtain authorization for total takes and apartments before signed environmental assessment (EA) and municipal consent. (Risk but get approval to proceed.) |
|
|
Railroad coordination. |
- CP - David Drach Owner.
- Progressive Rail - Barry Karlberg Operator.
- Take railroad and support with trucks.
- Total acquisition of the rail line.
|
- Two entities ready mix is served by the railroad.
- Time of years of construction.
- Cost to shut down the line.
- Cost of exposure.
|
MSE Walls. |
|
- Conflict with utilities and additional R/W needed for the tie backs and geogrid system.
- Both parallel and perpendicular installations.
- In cut sections.
- Directional boring could also be a problem.
- TMC and signals associated with Mn/DOT could also be a problem.
- Aesthetics problem associated with large vegetation.
- Permanent Wall Easement will be needed.
|
Frontage roads to be part of the city's property. |
- We buy it and the city maintains it.
|
- Could be to late in the process. Also municipal consent could be a problem.
|
Peter's Billiards. |
- Total take how we handle the relocation/loss of visibility. (billboard)
- Buy them out!!!
- Partial take.
- Eliminate the connection of the frontage road and run it along the front or west side of the nursing home.
- EA say it as mitigation.
|
- Land, building of the new site.
- Can't assemble property and sell it to them.
- Could be political.
- Problem with damages.
- Federally we could do this but state requirements are stricter.
- Driveway problems with access management.
- Bird and Fish????
|
Higher limit for MDA acquisitions. |
|
|
Coordination. |
- Overall coordination of functions associated with right-of-way and utilities.
|
- Different functional areas associate throughout Mn/DOT i.e. surveys, R/W design, and construction.
|
Time savings issues. |
- Prioritization of right-of-way acquisition.
- Staged acquisition based on construction staging.
- Pre-qualified list for contracting.
- Standardized forms for consultants to use.
- Purchase agreement usage.
- Early and established construction limits.
|
- Utility relocation would be a problem.
- R/W not available.
- State laws vs. state procedures.
|
Footprint buy enough right-of-way. |
- Buy enough right-of-way.
- Need to analyze the risk and move forward with that decision.
- Must look at buying enough if you do it. Establish utility corridors, stay within the footprint.
- Buy changing you will add time.
- To change a footprint you must provide a "show stopping" reason for the need for additional right-of-way. Along with delay time frame.
|
- Designers need to live within the R/W bought. Changing and changing.
- Draining being done late in the process.
- Dollars, public relations.
|
Deliver projects quicker. |
- Keep staff appraisers. Flexibility with consultants.
- Allow up front work to be performed.
- Access to county assessors records. Relocation incentives.
- Shorten up the quick take process.
|
- Statutory changes.
- Upfront resources.
- Pilot Project Approval vacation/settling in acquisition.
|
Meets and bounds descriptions vs. platting. |
- Study the process, is platting the best and quickest way to deliver the acquisition.
|
- Staffing.
- Actual surveying of the plat is a problem.
|
CAD unit within right-of-way. |
- Use automated description writing program to identify the taking and print of the description. Areas and description are developed.
|
|
Look at the R/W area as a system to allow for flexibility. |
- Allows for contracting process to perform a turnkey operation.
|
|
Electronic hand-offs of parcel data. |
- Develop investment and implementation of EDMS system along with Mn/DOT's REALMS system.
