This document is an Addendum to a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for the reconstruction of approximately 9.8 miles of the Shooting Star State Trail in Goodhue County. The addendum provides responses to vendor questions regarding the trail, including whether any segments will require widening, whether areas needing a revised trail profile to alleviate flooding are known, and how many culverts are anticipated to be replaced. Attachments referenced in the addendum include Construction Plans and a Condition Assessment map.

The RFP seeks proposals from consulting firms to provide final plans, specifications, and technical services during construction for the trail reconstruction project. The scope includes reviewing the existing hydrology and hydraulics to incorporate design modifications for improving drainage along the trail corridor, as several sections have experienced recent flooding issues. The selected design firm must have demonstrated experience in civil engineering and knowledge of relevant design standards.
