Minnesota rail authority hires construction manager for St. Paul depot project
advertisement
The Ramsey County Regional Rail Authority recently approved a construction contract with M.A. Mortenson to serve as Phase II Construction Manager at Risk for the Union Depot renovation project in downtown St. Paul, Minn.
“Construction Manager at Risk” is a construction method in which the project manager commits to delivering a project within a guaranteed maximum price. For the depot, that price is $148,753,916.
The total project cost includes money already spent for land acquisition and planning, as well as project contingencies. The project is being funded through a combination of county, state and federal funds, including $50 million from SAFETEA-LU and $35 million in TIGER grant stimulus funds.
The depot eventually will accommodate high-speed rail services, including the Chicago-Milwaukee-St. Paul line.
Construction on the two-year, $243.4 million project is scheduled to begin in January.
