Along with our subconsultants, which includes Pierce Pini+Associates for Civil, and Sandman Structural Engineers, we have updated fees based on the scope, direction, and needs for the next steps in a two-phase approach. Per previous communications, we have also included revised fees for Nelson-Rudie, Electrical Engineering, as an alternate. ## Project Vision The southbound and northbound off-ramps of Minnesota State Highway 100 at Vernon Avenue offer an opportunity to transform a utilitarian corridor into a clear and welcoming civic threshold. This effort will integrate signage, landscape, and landform to shape a memorable arrival experience while minimizing the visual presence of adjacent sound walls. Based on our conversation, we have developed the following scope of work: ## PHASE I, 2026 (Total Base $73,900; Total Alternate $84,800) Encompasses design, bid documents, and construction support of the sign and surrounding site at the West side of the bridge (south bound off ramp from Highway 100) and site plantings on the East side of the bridge (north bound off ramp from Highway 100). Design Development (Base $22,500; Alternate $25,100): • On-site inspections with Civil and Structural to verify site conditions. Development of sign and site design and details. Comparison of design to budget. Provide 60% design-level documentation for owner review and approval. Alternate includes services and estimated expenses of Electrical Engineer. Construction Documentation (Base $32,100; Alternate $36,700): • Full development of bid documents and specifications. Provide 95% design level document for owner review and approval. Alternate includes services and estimated expenses of Electrical Engineer. Bidding Support (Base $5,500; Alternate $6,600): • Submit 100% documentation for bidding purposes. Includes pre-bid meeting and addendums, as needed. Alternate includes services and estimated expenses of Electrical Engineer. ## Bill Neuendorf, Economic Development Manager ## Highway 100/Vernon Entry Experience July 30, 2026 Page 2 ## DAMON FARBER 310 S 4 th Avenue, Ste 7050 Minneapolis, MN 55413 p 612.332.7522 ## Construction Administration ($13,800; Alternate $16,400): • Provide coordination and owner support services during construction, which includes construction meetings, schedule reviews, submittal reviews and approvals. ## PHASE II, 2027 (Total Base $47,800; Total Alternate $55,700) Encompasses design, bid documents, and construction support of the sign and surrounding site at the East side of the bridge (north bound off ramp from Highway 100).
