Stage I involves securing funding for and accomplishing a Scoping Study <br />to identify and evaluate alternative design concepts for the expansion of 1- <br />35W with results to be incorporated in updated Comprehensive Plans to <br />be submitted to the Metropolitan Council in 2008. . <br />o Estimated Cost: $500,000 - $750,000 (Less if Mn/DOT Metro <br />Internally resourced) <br />o Estimated Timeframe: Target Completion 2007-08 <br />. Secure Funding 3-12 Months <br />. Select Consultant 4 Months (Less if MnlDOT internal <br />resourced) <br />. Conduct Scoping Study 12-18 Months <br />. Study Report Review/Approval 3 Months <br /> <br />. Stage II will involve advocating for and securing funding for a Tier I <br />Environmental Assessment of the short list of feasible designs, leading to <br />local, state and federal approvals of the design layout and associated <br />environmental documents. <br />o Estimated Cost: $1,000,000 - $2,000,000 <br />o Estimated Timeframe: Target Completion 2010-2011 <br />. Secure Funding 12 Months <br />. Select/Approve Consultant 4 Months <br />. Conduct Tier I Assessment 24 Months <br />. Report Review/ Approval 9 Months <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. Stage III will involve advocating for and securing funding in the Mn/DOT <br />construction program for the construction of the selected design at the <br />earliest possible opportunity. Stage III activity will overlap Stage II activity. <br />o Estimated Cost: <br />. 1-694-Anoka/Ramsey Co. Line $338 Million <br />. Anoka/Ramsey Co. Line- CR 14 $270 Million <br />o Estimated Timeframe: Target Start- Follow 1-694 Rebuild <br />(currently post 2014 due to constrained funding) <br />.
