2 LAKE MARION REGIONAL GREENWAY, MENDOTA-LEBANON HILLS REGIONAL GREENWAY REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR MASTER PLANNING SERVICES REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL A. PURPOSE OF REQUEST Dakota County seeks to enter into contract to provide master plans for two regional greenways that include two future regional trails. The Marion Regional Greenway connects 18 miles from the Minnesota River in Burnsville to Downtown Farmington via Murphy-Hanrehan Regional Park Reserve, Marion and South Creek. The Mendota-Lebanon Hills Regional Greenway connects 11 miles from Mendota Village in Mendota Heights to Lebanon Hills Regional Park through Mendota Heights, Inver Grove Heights and Eagan. While management and research likely will overlap between the two plans, they will be developed as separate plans with independent public engagement and technical advisory groups. Plans will meet all Metropolitan Council requirements for regional trail/greenway master plans and incorporate concepts and elements of the Dakota County Greenway Guidebook linked below. Adopted Greenway Guidebook, Greenway Master Plans and Park System Plan: B. BACKGROUND Dakota County s adopted Park System Plan identifies the following vision for regional greenways: Create a seamless and interconnected regional greenway framework of parks, natural areas, lakes and rivers from which to provide convenient and high quality recreation for our residents and to protect and restore Dakota County s natural systems. These plans should incorporate the following public purposes within each greenway: Water quality Habitat Recreation Non-motorized transportation Cultural and natural resource interpretation These categories of benefits are core elements in the greenway vision. The goal for each greenway corridor is to enhance all purposes to the greatest extent possible. C. GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION County Management of the Project: The Project Manager is John Mertens, Senior Planner for Dakota County. All work is to be coordinated through technical advisory groups established for each of the corridors with Dakota County staff serving as the primary contact. The advisory group will consist of staff representing the multiple jurisdictions and representatives from key stakeholders within the corridors. 2

Marion to Downtown ville 4 miles From Casperson Park the regional trail will use the existing lakefront trail that connects to Juno Trailhead at 205 th Street. From 205 th the greenway follows Kensington Boulevard through an office complex to 210 th where it enters the ville South High School complex. At ville South High School the greenway heads east following South Creek. Segment 3 ends at McGuire Middle School with connections north to downtown ville. The master plan will address: Connections to downtown ville Coordination with ville South High School Grade separations at Jacquard Avenue, Dodd Boulevard and Holyoke Avenue 4.) Downtown ville to downtown Farmington 5 miles This section begins at McGuire Middle School and heads east following South Creek through the Air Industrial Park. Past the industrial park the greenway continues along South Creek through agricultural land. The master plan will develop higher level concept plans that incorporate stream and floodplain restoration. The concepts should incorporate and display elements such as, but not limited to: proposed restoration alignment, floodplain, fishing access, stream habitat features, buffer vegetation types and widths, anticipated construction limits, soil stockpile areas, and trail alignment. These concept graphics will be coordinated with Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Organization staff, with JPO staff providing technical/engineering support for the concept designs. The master plan will address: Coordination with Vermillion River Watershed management plans Grade separation at Hamburg Avenue, Cedar Avenue, CSAH 74 and future roads Connections to downtown Farmington Restoration concepts for South Creek (see Attachment A) The Marion Regional Greenway master plan will also evaluate the Dan Patch rail corridor (Canadian Pacific Railway) as a possible regional trail alignment. Analysis of this corridor will include the following: - Meetings with railroad owner (CP Railway) and operator (Progressive Rail) - Evaluate shared corridor opportunities - Evaluate acquisition via rail bank program or outright fee title purchase - Research on other successful rail/regional trail coordination Mendota-Lebanon Hills Regional Greenway: See Attachment B for corridor maps: 1.) Mendota Heights Village to TH 55 5 miles The Mendota-Lebanon Hills Regional Greenway begins at Mendota Heights Village at the intersection of Dodd Road and TH 110. At TH 110 the greenway connects to the North Urban Regional Trail and heads south across TH 110. The regional trail will follow existing community trails through parks and schools to the Delaware Avenue (CSAH 63) crossing of I-494. From I-494 the greenway will have multiple alignments that travel through western Inver Grove Heights and eastern Eagan to the intersection of Delaware and TH 55. The master plan will address: Grade separations at TH 110, CSAH 28 and TH 55 4

22 EXHIBIT A Attachment D INSURANCE TERMS Contractor agrees to provide and maintain at all times during the term of this Contract such insurance coverages as are indicated herein and to otherwise comply with the provisions that follow. Such policy(ies) of insurance shall apply to the extent of, but not as a limitation upon or in satisfaction of, the Contract indemnity provisions. The provisions of this section shall also apply to all Subcontractors, Sub-subcontractors, and Independent Contractors engaged by Contractor with respect to this Contract, and Contractor shall be entirely responsible for securing the compliance of all such persons or parties with these provisions. APPLICABLE SECTIONS ARE CHECKED 1. Workers Compensation. Workers' Compensation insurance in compliance with all applicable statutes including an All States or Universal Endorsement where applicable. Such policy shall include Employer's Liability coverage in an amount no less than $500,000. If Contractor is not required by Statute to carry Workers Compensation Insurance, Contractor agrees: (1) to provide County with evidence documenting the specific provision under Minn. Stat which excludes Contractor from the requirement of obtaining Workers Compensation Insurance; (2) to provide prior notice to County of any change in Contractor s exemption status under Minn. Stat ; and (3) to hold harmless and indemnify County from and against any and all claims and losses brought by Contractor or any subcontractor or other person claiming through Contractor for Workers Compensation or Employers Liability benefits for damages arising out of any injury or illness resulting from performance of work under this Contract. If any such change requires Contractor to obtain Workers Compensation Insurance, Contractor agrees to promptly provide County with evidence of such insurance coverage. 2. General Liability. "Commercial General Liability Insurance" coverage (Insurance Services Office form title), providing coverage on an "occurrence" rather than on a "claims made" basis, which policy shall include, but not be limited to, coverage for Bodily Injury, Property Damage, Personal Injury, Contractual Liability (applying to this Contract), Independent Contractors, "XC&U" and Products-Completed Operations liability (if applicable). Such coverage may be provided under an equivalent policy form (or forms), so long as such equivalent form (or forms) affords coverage which is at least as broad. An Insurance Services Office "Comprehensive General Liability" policy which includes a Broad Form Endorsement GL 0404 (Insurance Services Office designation) shall be considered to be an acceptable equivalent policy form. Contractor agrees to maintain at all times during the period of this Contract a total combined general liability policy limit of at least $1,500,000 per occurrence and aggregate, applying to liability for Bodily Injury, Personal Injury, and Property Damage, which total limit may be satisfied by the limit afforded under its Commercial General Liability policy, or equivalent policy, or by such policy in combination with the limits afforded by an Umbrella or Excess Liability policy (or policies); provided, that the coverage afforded under any such Umbrella or Excess Liability policy is at least as broad as that afforded by the underlying Commercial General Liability policy (or equivalent underlying policy). Such Commercial General Liability policy and Umbrella or Excess Liability policy (or policies) may provide aggregate limits for some or all of the coverages afforded thereunder, so long as such aggregate limits have not, as of the beginning of the term or at any time during the term, been reduced to less than the total required limits stated above, and further, that the Umbrella or Excess Liability policy provides coverage from the point that such aggregate limits in the underlying Commercial General Liability policy become reduced or exhausted. An Umbrella or Excess Liability policy which "drops down" to respond immediately over reduced underlying limits, or in place of exhausted underlying limits, but subject to a deductible or "retention" amount, shall be acceptable in this regard so long as such deductible or retention for each occurrence does not exceed the amount shown in the provision below. Contractor's liability insurance coverage may be subject to a deductible, "retention" or "participation" (or other similar provision) requiring the Contractor to remain responsible for a stated amount or percentage of each covered loss; provided, that such deductible, retention or participation amount shall not exceed $25,000 each occurrence. Such policy(ies) shall name Dakota County, its officers, employees and agents as Additional Insureds thereunder. 3. Professional Liability. Professional Liability (errors and omissions) insurance with respect to its professional activities to be performed under this Contract. This amount of insurance shall be at least $1,500,000 per occurrence and aggregate (if applicable). Coverage under such policy may be subject to a deductible, not to exceed $25,000 per occurrence. Contractor agrees to maintain such insurance for at least one (1) year from Contract termination. It is understood that such Professional Liability insurance may be provided on a claims-made basis, and, in such case, that changes in insurers or insurance policy forms could result in the impairment of the liability insurance protection intended for Dakota County hereunder. Contractor therefore agrees that it will not seek or voluntarily accept any such change in its Professional Liability insurance coverage if such impairment of Dakota County's protection could result; and further, that it will exercise its rights under any "Extended Reporting Period" ("tail coverage") or similar policy option if necessary or appropriate to avoid impairment of Dakota County's protection. Contractor further agrees that it will, throughout the one (1) year period of required coverage, immediately: (a) advise Dakota County of any intended or pending change of any Professional Liability insurers or policy forms, and provide Dakota County with all pertinent information that Dakota County may reasonably request to determine compliance with this section; and (b)

23 immediately advise Dakota County of any claims or threats of claims that might reasonably be expected to reduce the amount of such insurance remaining available for the protection of Dakota County. 4. Automobile Liability. Business Automobile Liability insurance covering liability for Bodily Injury and Property Damage arising out of the ownership, use, maintenance, or operation of all owned, non-owned and hired automobiles and other motor vehicles utilized by Contractor in connection with its performance under this Contract. Such policy shall provide total liability limits for combined Bodily Injury and/or Property Damage in the amount of at least $1,500,000 per accident, which total limits may be satisfied by the limits afforded under such policy, or by such policy in combination with the limits afforded by an Umbrella or Excess Liability policy(ies); provided, that the coverage afforded under any such Umbrella or Excess Liability policy(ies) shall be at least as broad with respect to such Business Automobile Liability insurance as that afforded by the underlying policy. Unless included within the scope of Contractor's Commercial General Liability policy, such Business Automobile Liability policy shall also include coverage for motor vehicle liability assumed under this contract. Such policy, and, if applicable, such Umbrella or Excess Liability policy(ies), shall include Dakota County, its officers, employees and agents as Additional Insureds thereunder. 5. Additional Insurance. Dakota County shall, at any time during the period of the Contract, have the right to require that Contractor secure any additional insurance, or additional feature to existing insurance, as Dakota County may reasonably require for the protection of their interests or those of the public. In such event Contractor shall proceed with due diligence to make every good faith effort to promptly comply with such additional requirement(s). 6. Evidence of Insurance. Contractor shall promptly provide Dakota County with evidence that the insurance coverage required hereunder is in full force and effect prior to commencement of any work. At least 10 days prior to termination of any such coverage, Contractor shall provide Dakota County with evidence that such coverage will be renewed or replaced upon termination with insurance that complies with these provisions. Such evidence of insurance shall be in the form of the Dakota County Certificate of Insurance, or in such other form as Dakota County may reasonably request, and shall contain sufficient information to allow Dakota County to determine whether there is compliance with these provisions. At the request of Dakota County, Contractor shall, in addition to providing such evidence of insurance, promptly furnish Contract Manager with a complete (and if so required, insurercertified) copy of each insurance policy intended to provide coverage required hereunder. All such policies shall be endorsed to require that the insurer provide at least 30 days notice to Dakota County prior to the effective date of policy cancellation, nonrenewal, or material adverse change in coverage terms. On the Certificate of Insurance, Contractor's insurance agency shall certify that he/she has Error and Omissions coverage. 7. Insurer: Policies. All policies of insurance required under this paragraph shall be issued by financially responsible insurers licensed to do business in the State of Minnesota, and all such insurers must be acceptable to Dakota County. Such acceptance by Dakota County shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. An insurer with a current A.M. Best Company rating of at least A:VII shall be conclusively deemed to be acceptable. In all other instances, Dakota County shall have 15 business days from the date of receipt of Contractor's evidence of insurance to advise Contractor in writing of any insurer that is not acceptable to Dakota County. If Dakota County does not respond in writing within such 15 day period, Contractor's insurer(s) shall be deemed to be acceptable to Dakota County. 8. Noncompliance. In the event of the failure of Contractor to maintain such insurance and/or to furnish satisfactory evidence thereof as required herein, Dakota County shall have the right to purchase such insurance on behalf of Contractor, which agrees to provide all necessary and appropriate information therefor and to pay the cost thereof to Dakota County immediately upon presentation of invoice. 9. Loss Information. At the request of Dakota County, Contractor shall promptly furnish loss information concerning all liability claims brought against Contractor (or any other insured under Contractor's required policies), that may affect the amount of liability insurance available for the benefit and protection of Dakota County under this section. Such loss information shall include such specifics and be in such form as Dakota County may reasonably require. 10. Release and Waiver. Contractor agrees to rely entirely upon its own property insurance for recovery with respect to any damage, loss or injury to the property interests of Contractor. Contractor hereby releases Dakota County, its officers, employees, agents, and others acting on their behalf, from all claims, and all liability or responsibility to Contractor, and to anyone claiming through or under Contractor, by way of subrogation or otherwise, for any loss of or damage to Contractor's business or property caused by fire or other peril or event, even if such fire or other peril or event was caused in whole or in part by the negligence or other act or omission of Dakota County or other party who is to be released by the terms hereof, or by anyone for whom such party may be responsible. Contractor agrees to effect such revision of any property insurance policy as may be necessary in order to permit the release and waiver of subrogation agreed to herein. Contractor shall, upon the request of Dakota County, promptly provide a Certificate of Insurance, or other form of evidence as may be reasonably requested by Dakota County, evidencing that the full waiver of subrogation privilege contemplated by this provision is present; and/or, if so requested by Dakota County, Contractor shall provide a full and complete copy of the pertinent property insurance policy(ies).
