1.3 Project Scope
The project is located in St. Louis County, Minnesota and Douglas County, Wisconsin between the cities
of Duluth, Minnesota and Superior, Wisconsin. The project limits extend 0.3 miles from the existing
bridge structure on the Minnesota approach to 0.75 miles from the existing bridge structure on the
Wisconsin approach, along US 53.
The project includes replacement of the existing John. A. Blatnik I-535 Bridge (Minnesota Bridge number
9030, Wisconsin Structure B-16-5) on Interstate 535 (I-535) connecting Duluth, Minnesota and Superior
Wisconsin across the St. Louis River and Bay. The project also includes reconstructing an interchange in
Superior, WI that routes I-535 directly to US 53, with local connections to Hammond Avenue and WIS
35. The project includes design and construction of a new mainline bridge (Minnesota Bridge number
69913, Wisconsin Structure B-16-0153) and new exit ramp bridge (WI Structure B-16-0154) and
entrance ramp bridge (WI Structure B-16-0155). The new mainline bridge includes new Minnesota
approach spans, a new main span over the Main Navigation Channel, new spans along Connor's Point,
new spans over the Howard's Pocket Navigation Channel, and new Wisconsin approach spans that
connect to US Highway 53 in Wisconsin.
The project includes a new shared use path on the easterly side of the new mainline bridge and
Wisconsin entrance ramp bridge with trail connections in Duluth and Superior, drainage improvements,
retaining walls, and improvements within the City of Superior. The existing bridge will be closed for the
majority of construction and traffic will be detoured to the Richard I. Bong Memorial Bridge.

1.4 Verification Team Organization Chart
Exhibit A - Attachment 1 is the DBCVC organization chart and shows how the State will staff the DBCVT
for this project. It graphically shows the chain of command. It also shows how the DBCVC staff
described in this contract interacts with the State staff.
2 Project Management
Contractor will perform all work necessary to manage this DBCVC Contract and its personnel. Contractor
will assist State with managing the DB Conformed Contract.
2.1 DBCVC Project Manager
This person is responsible for managing the contract.
2.1.1 Staffing Requirements
Contractor will supply one person, in total, to perform the duties of the DBCVC Project Manager. The
person serving as the DBCVC Project Manager may also function as the DBCVC Contract Change
Manager and/or the Office Manager Document Control
2.1.2 Co-location
The DBCVC Project Manager is not required to be co-located.
2.2 Flexible Workforce
DBCVC personnel approved by the State's Project Manager are considered by the State to be committed
to performing services for the durations listed in this scope of work. Any changes will require written
approval from the State's Project Manager and include both adding additional staff and reducing staff.
The Contractor will be advised of the official Notice of Award of the DB Conformed Contract and will be
ready to fully staff all personnel on the DBCVT for the project within one week after notification. No
personnel will be assigned until written notification by the State's Project Manager has been issued.
If the DB Contract is suspended for any reason, the DBCVC's forces will be adjusted to correspond with
the type of cessation, either complete or partial suspension. DBCVC will continuously look ahead to fully
understand what type of staff are needed and in what numbers. The Contractor's schedule will be
dictated by the DB contractor's schedule. DBCVC will provide a flexible workforce so that only those
staff that can be fully utilized during any given project activity are present and billing hours to the
contract.
DBCVC will continuously monitor all activity to ensure that all work carried out is within the agreed
scope and completed with resources that can complete the work as budgeted. In the event it becomes
necessary to complete work outside the original scope of work, the Contractor's Project Manager will
notify the State's Project Manager immediately before proceeding. No work outside the original scope
will be done without written authorization from the State's Project Manager.
2

MnDOT Contract No. 1061634
Exhibit A: Specifications, Duties, and Scope of Work
Throughout this scope of work, the availability in the co-located facility will be defined as full-time (40
hours per week) or part-time (less than 40 hours per week) for a specified duration.
Throughout the course of the Project, it may become evident that two or more DBCVC roles would be
more efficiently staffed by a single qualified person. If this situation arises, the DBCVC can make a
request to the State's Project Manager to modify the staff by combining roles. The State's Project
Manager will evaluate the experience and workload of the remaining staff member and will make a
determination of whether the roles should be combined. If multiple roles are allowed to be staffed by a
single person, the State Project Manager may reverse that decision at a later date, if circumstances call
for more attention to those roles than the single person can effectively handle.
Conversely, it is expected that the DBCVC have staff available to fulfill the obligations of each role
described within this contract. Certain roles are defined as being co-located with the DBCVT office and
have estimates of the amount of time expected to be co-located per week. To meet the requirements of
this Flexible Workforce section, team members that are co-located and even those that are not co-
located may need to be present at the co-location office more often than estimated in order to
efficiently and effectively fulfill the duties of those roles so that the DB Contractor is not unduly
burdened by the verification activities.
When the DB Contractor's operations on the Project diminish, the DBCVC will reduce the number of its
personnel assigned to the Project as appropriate. Any adjustment of DBCVC forces as recommended by
the State's Project Manager will be accomplished within one week after notification. The State's Project
Manager will provide said notification to the DBCVC in writing, and the DBCVC will provide confirmation
of notification in writing.
2.2.1 Flexible Workforce - Project Support Staff
The DBCVC will need to leverage additional project support staff, whether within their company or
through subconsultants, to assist the various roles on the DBCVT. The additional staff are expected to be
available to help with the task of reviewing plans and calculations, create quantities to counter claims by
the DB contractor, and use other software listed in this scope to evaluate products the DB contractor
creates using that software.
2.2.2 Co-location
Throughout this scope of work, some roles of the DBCVT are designated as being co-located and others
are not. Co-located personnel are expected to be physically located in the project field office for the
time indicated for each role. Keep in mind, all personnel on the DBCVT are obligated to meet the
requirements of the Flexible Workforce section of this scope.
In order to effectively manage the budget for the DBCVT, co-located personnel will be expected to
inform the Verification Consultant Project Manager and the State Project Manager, if co-location
requirements are excessive based on the current verification activities of the role. If, in agreement with
the State's Project Manager, it is decided that the co-located role can be just as effectively performed
partly from the team member's home office then it may be determined that the co-location
requirements be temporarily relaxed.
Personnel that are not to be co-located at the project field office can perform their role from their home
office. However, non-co-located personnel are required to report to the project office or project site as
needed for specific meetings, over-the-shoulder reviews, inspection verification, and other duties in a
timely and efficient manner to fulfill the obligations of their roles on the DBCVT if requested by the
State's Project Manager.

MnDOT Contract No. 1061634
Exhibit A: Specifications, Duties, and Scope of Work
It is incumbent upon all DBCVT members to utilize current web-conferencing best practices to be an
effective resource to the DBCVT and the DB Contractor during meetings, over-the-shoulder reviews and
questions that arise from the DB Contractor. The purpose of a co-location office is to minimize difficulty
of communication between the DBCVT and the DB Contractor, so technology cannot be a hindrance in
this relationship. If web-conferencing is not working efficiently to communicate between the two teams,
the role member will be expected to be present at the co-location office as needed so the DB Contractor
is not unduly delayed. It is important that any phone or web conference technical difficulties be
minimized or eliminated so that co-location can be effectively minimized for each role.
2.3 Items Provided by the State
The State will provide office space, basic furniture, and access to State servers. Expendable office
supplies will be paid for by the State and will be ordered by the DBCVC through the State supply system.
Expendable office supplies are defined as items that generally are used one time and then discarded and
include, but are not limited to: staples, rubber bands, note pads, paper, folders, pens, and paper clips.
2.4 Items Provided by Contractor
