Specifications include, but are not limited to: The goal of this project is to ensure MnDOT’s tunnels remain in safe condition, continue to provide a reliable level of service, and understand the risks for each structure and improvement options. This will be done by analyzing the current systems and conditions. The analysis will include a determination of what systems are needed, functional, up to standards/best practices and guidelines from other states, and if any system could be modified to be more functional. This study will include an evaluation of the following systems: ventilation, lighting, other electrical, traffic management systems, communications, employee ingress/egress safety systems, drainage, signage, emergency power systems, air monitoring systems, fire life safety systems and any other systems as requested by MnDOT. For each tunnel, a Tunnel Operating Procedures Manual will be created which will include maintenance schedules and instructions for each of the identified maintenance tasks and regular operations. Matrix of options for short- and long-term improvement plans for these systems will be developed. Another project goal is to be compliant with National Tunnel Inspection Standards (NTIS) requirements to develop tunnel specific inspection procedures. None of the MnDOT tunnels are considered complex per MnDOT’s application of Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) NTIS criteria.
