The commissioner, using information furnished by the local units of governments from the statewide bridge inventory, must establish a statewide priority of bridge construction, reconstruction, or rehabilitation.
This priority must be based on the relative seriousness of each bridge's deficiencies as determined from the inventory and appraisal after considering the following criteria established in Minnesota Statutes, section 174.50, subdivision 6:
A. effectiveness of the project in eliminating a deficiency in the transportation system;
B. number of persons affected by the deficiency;
C. economic feasibility;
D. effect on optimum land use and other concerns of state and regional planning;
E. availability of other financing capability; and
F. adequacy of provision for proper operation and maintenance after construction.
When the required documentation has been completed, construction plans are complete, and priorities have been established, the commissioner must notify the local units of government, as to funding availability from the Minnesota state transportation fund or federal funds.
The local unit of government must by resolution agree to the terms and conditions specified in the notification by the commissioner consistent with Minnesota Statutes, section 174.50, subdivision 5, clause (2).
