Background and Rationale
body
The state of Minnesota Second Judicial District (State) and Ramsey County previously executed a Memorandum of Understanding to manage the performance of and payment for additional facility improvements, modifications, and renovations at the Ramsey County Courthouse/City of Saint Paul City Hall (Courthouse/City Hall). The additional improvements are to be described and agreed upon in scope and cost through individual project work orders executed between the State and Ramsey County Property Management through its Director.

The State and Property Management have now determined that the planned project work orders require an additional funding commitment from the State in order to complete the projects. This First Amendment to Memorandum of Understanding memorializes the State's and County's agreement with respect to such additional funding commitment.

Property Management will continue to provide the resources and project management services to execute the individual project work orders, all in accordance with Ramsey County policies for procurement and contracting.
