RFQ for County Highway 12 and ISD 832 SRTS

Washington County has secured a Safe Routes to School Grant to develop a trail along the south side of County State Aid Highway 12, extending from the Mahtomedi School Campus entrance eastward to Inwood Avenue. Additionally, Independent School District 832 received a similar grant to complete a trail segment connecting CSAH 12 to a point approximately 400 feet north along the east side of the school entrance. The two entities aim to combine these projects into a single cooperative effort, with the intent to design and construct the trail segments together for improved safety and connectivity. To facilitate this, the county is seeking qualified consultants through a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to undertake the scope of work required for the combined project. The solicitation, posted on August 8, 2025, under number 799, invites responses by August 22, 2025. The project is estimated to have a contract value ranging from $500,000 to $1,500,000 and falls under the NAICS code 237310, which pertains to highway, street, and bridge construction. This initiative is part of Washington County’s broader efforts to enhance pedestrian safety and promote active transportation options within the community, with the selected consultant expected to assist in the design and planning phases of this integrated trail project.
