Agency Transportation Department

Contractor HDR Engineering, Inc.

SWIFT Contract Number 263735

Project Name MinnesotaGo Website Decommissioning

Project Number (if applicable) 1058758

Summarize purpose of the contract, including why it was necessary: This contract supported MnDOT’s transition away from the standalone MinnesotaGO.org website toward consolidating content
on MnDOT’s main webpage. The shift was necessary due to the end of consultant support for the existing website, which limited
the ability to update or restructure content. With the Minnesota GO Vision update underway, this project ensured timely
migration of priority plans—such as SMTP, MnSHIP, Freight, and Aviation—and provided updated access to remaining plan
content. The contract enabled MnDOT to maintain public access to strategic planning materials and align with broader agency
efforts to centralize engagement tools through Let’s Talk Transportation.

Is this a sole source contract? Yes

If this was a single source contract, explain why the agency determined there was only a single source for the services (if applicable) HDR was the original contractor responsible for designing, hosting, and maintaining the MinnesotaGO.org website. As such, they
were uniquely positioned to support the site’s decommissioning and content migration. Their direct knowledge of the website
architecture, existing planning materials, and MnDOT’s digital accessibility standards made them the only vendor able to
complete the work efficiently, accurately, and within the required timeframe. Engaging a new contractor would have resulted in
significant delays, onboarding time, and additional costs. Given the tight timeline to retire the website before June 30, 2025, HDR
was the only practical and responsible choice for this work.
