provides active project management for the use of such outside consultants.
3.3. Roadway Maintenance. A party may provide roadway maintenance upon the request of the other party.
Roadway maintenance does not include roadway reconstruction. This work may include but is not limited
to snow removal, ditch spraying, roadside mowing, bituminous mill and overlay (only small projects),

conjunction with local projects). All contract administration services must be performed by an employee
with sufficient skills, training, expertise or certification to perform such work.
3.5. Emergency Services. A party may provide aid upon request of the other party in the event of a man-made

protection and mitigation, sign repair, sandbag activities and general cleanup. Work will be performed by
an employee with sufficient skills, training, expertise or certification to perform such work, and work
must be supervised by a qualified employee of the party performing the work. If it is not feasible to have
an executed work order prior to performance of the work, the parties will promptly confer to determine
whether work may be commenced without a fully-executed work order in place. If work commences
without a fully-executed work order, the parties will follow up with execution of a work order as soon as
feasible.
3.6. When a need is identified, the State and the Local Government will discuss the proposed work and the
resources needed to perform the work. If a party desires to perform such work, the parties will negotiate

work orders may be prepared for certain types of services, especially for “Technical Services” items as
identified section 2.1.. The work order will also identify specific deliverables required, and timeframes for

agents or contractors retain any interest in and to the Works and Documents.
15. Affirmative Action
The State intends to carry out its responsibility for requiring affirmative action by its Contractors, pursuant to
Minn. Stat. §363A.36. Pursuant to that Statute, the Local Government is encouraged to prepare and implement an

such plan to the Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Human Rights. In addition, when the Local
Government lets a contract for the performance of work under a work order issued pursuant to this MPC, it must

the state where it has its principle place of business, then the Contractor must comply with the
requirements of Minn. Stat. § 363A.36 and Minn. R. Parts 5000.3400-5000.3600. A Contractor covered
by Minn. Stat. § 363A.36 because it employed more than 40 full-time employees in another state and
does not have a certificate of compliance, must certify that it is in compliance with federal affirmative
action requirements.
15.2. Minn. Stat. § 363A.36. Minn. Stat. § 363A.36 requires the Contractor to have an affirmative action plan
for the employment of minority persons, women, and qualified disabled individuals approved by the
Minnesota Commissioner of Human Rights (“Commissioner”) as indicated by a certificate of compliance.
The law addresses suspension or revocation of a certificate of compliance and contract consequences in
that event. A contract awarded without a certificate of compliance may be voided.
15.3. Minn. R. Parts 5000.3400-5000.3600.
