[161.3426] [DESIGN-BUILD AWARD.] 58.34 Subdivision 1. [AWARD; COMPUTATION; ANNOUNCEMENT.] Except 58.35 as provided in subdivision 2, a design-build contract shall be 58.36 awarded as follows: 59.1 (a) The technical review committee shall score the 59.2 technical proposals using the selection criteria in the request 59.3 for proposals (RFP). The technical review committee shall then 59.4 submit a technical proposal score for each design-builder to the 59.5 commissioner. The technical review committee shall reject any 59.6 proposal it deems nonresponsive. 59.7 (b) The commissioner shall announce the technical proposal 59.8 score for each design-builder and shall publicly open the sealed 59.9 price proposals and shall divide each design-builder's price by 59.10 the technical score that the technical review committee has 59.11 given to it to obtain an adjusted score. The design-builder 59.12 selected must be that responsive and responsible design-builder 59.13 whose adjusted score is the lowest. 59.14 (c) If a time factor is included with the selection 59.15 criteria in the request for proposals package, the commissioner 59.16 may also adjust the bids using a value of the time factor 59.17 established by the commissioner. The value of the time factor 59.18 must be expressed as a value per day. The adjustment must be 59.19 based on the total time value. The total time value is the 59.20 design-builder's total number of days to complete the project 59.21 multiplied by the factor. The time-adjusted price is the total 59.22 time value plus the bid amount. This adjustment must be used 59.23 for selection purposes only, and must not affect the department 59.24 of transportation's liquidated damages schedule or incentive or 59.25 disincentive program. An adjusted score must then be obtained 59.26 by dividing each design-builder's time-adjusted price by the 59.27 score given by the technical review team. The commissioner 59.28 shall select the responsive and responsible design-builder whose 59.29 adjusted score is the lowest. 59.30 (d) Unless all proposals are rejected, the commissioner 59.31 shall award the contract to the responsive and responsible 59.32 design-builder with the lowest adjusted score. The commissioner 59.33 shall reserve the right to reject all proposals. 59.34 Subd. 2.

The commissioner shall award each of the other 60.5 proposals a percentage of the price points based on a ratio of 60.6 the lowest price divided by the responder's price. The 60.7 commissioner shall add the technical score and price score and 60.8 award the contract to the responder with the highest total score. 60.9 Subd. 3. [STIPULATED FEE.] The commissioner shall award a 60.10 stipulated fee not less than two-tenths of one percent of the 60.11 department's estimated cost of design and construction to each 60.12 short-listed, responsible proposer who provides a responsive but 60.13 unsuccessful proposal. If the commissioner does not award a 60.14 contract, all short-listed proposers must receive the stipulated 60.15 fee. If the commissioner cancels the contract before reviewing 60.16 the technical proposals, the commissioner shall award each 60.17 design-builder on the short list a stipulated fee of not less 60.18 than two-tenths of one percent of the commissioner's estimated 60.19 cost of design and construction. The commissioner shall pay the 60.20 stipulated fee to each proposer within 90 days after the award 60.21 of the contract or the decision not to award a contract. In 60.22 consideration for paying the stipulated fee, the commissioner 60.23 may use any ideas or information contained in the proposals in 60.24 connection with any contract awarded for the project or in 60.25 connection with a subsequent procurement, without any obligation 60.26 to pay any additional compensation to the unsuccessful proposers. 60.27 Notwithstanding the other provisions of this subdivision, an 60.28 unsuccessful short-list proposer may elect to waive the 60.29 stipulated fee.

[626.8471] [AVOIDING RACIAL PROFILING; POLICIES 78.34 AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES REQUIRED.] 78.35 Subdivision 1. [PURPOSE.] The legislature finds that the 78.36 reality or public perception of racial profiling alienates 79.1 people from police, hinders community policing efforts, and 79.2 causes law enforcement to lose credibility and trust among the 79.3 people law enforcement is sworn to protect and serve. No stop 79.4 initiated by a peace officer should be made without a legitimate 79.5 reason; race, ethnicity, or national origin alone should never 79.6 provide a sufficient reason. Law enforcement policies and 79.7 training programs must emphasize the need to respect the balance 79.8 between the rights of all persons to be free from unreasonable 79.9 governmental intrusions and law enforcement's need to enforce 79.10 the law. 79.11 Subd. 2. [DEFINITION.] "Racial profiling" means any action 79.12 initiated by law enforcement that relies upon the race, 79.13 ethnicity, or national origin of an individual rather than: 79.14 (1) the behavior of that individual; or 79.15 (2) information that leads law enforcement to a particular 79.16 individual who has been identified as being engaged in or having 79.17 been engaged in criminal activity. 79.18 Racial profiling includes use of racial or ethnic 79.19 stereotypes as factors in selecting whom to stop and search. 79.20 Racial profiling does not include law enforcement's use of race 79.21 or ethnicity to determine whether a person matches a specific 79.22 description of a particular subject. 79.23 Subd. 3. [STATEWIDE MODEL POLICY.] (a) The board of peace 79.24 officer standards and training shall consult with the Minnesota 79.25 chiefs of police association, the Minnesota sheriffs 79.26 association, the racial profiling advisory committee, and the 79.27 Minnesota police and peace officers association in developing an 79.28 antiracial profiling model policy governing the conduct of peace 79.29 officers engaged in stops of citizens. This policy shall define 79.30 racial profiling and identify conduct that violates the law. 79.31 The policy must also include a duty to give the officer's name 79.32 or badge number and identify the officer's department during 79.33 routine traffic stops. 79.34 (b) The board shall adopt a model policy and distribute the 79.35 model policy to all chief law enforcement officers by August 1, 79.36 2001. 80.1 Subd. 4. [AGENCY POLICIES REQUIRED.] (a) By November 1, 80.2 2001, the chief law enforcement officer of every state and local 80.3 law enforcement agency must establish and enforce a written 80.4 antiracial profiling policy governing the conduct of peace 80.5 officers engaged in stops of citizens. The chief law 80.6 enforcement officer shall ensure that each peace officer 80.7 receives a copy of the agency's antiracial profiling policy. 80.8 The chief law enforcement officer also must ensure that each 80.9 peace officer is aware of the policy's purpose and the conduct 80.10 prohibited by it. 80.11 (b) The policy must, at a minimum, comply with the 80.12 requirements of the model policy adopted by the board under 80.13 subdivision 3. 80.14 (c) Every state and local law enforcement agency must 80.15 certify to the board that it has adopted a written policy in 80.16 compliance with the board's model policy. 80.17 (d) The board shall assist the chief law enforcement 80.18 officer of each state and local law enforcement agency in 80.19 developing and implementing antiracial profiling policies under 80.20 this subdivision. 80.21 Subd. 5.

These learning objectives shall be included in the 80.26 required curriculum of professional peace officer education 80.27 programs. 80.28 (b) An individual is not eligible to take the peace officer 80.29 licensing examination or the part-time peace officer licensing 80.30 examination on or after June 1, 2002, unless: 80.31 (1) the individual has received the training described in 80.32 paragraph (a); and 80.33 (2) the individual has completed a psychological evaluation 80.34 demonstrating that the individual is not likely to engage in 80.35 racial profiling. 80.36 Subd. 6.

[CHIEF LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND SUPERVISORS; 81.7 REQUIREMENTS.] The executive director of the board of peace 81.8 officer standards and training shall prepare training materials 81.9 to provide chief law enforcement officers and other peace 81.10 officers with supervisory authority with information on how to 81.11 detect and respond to racial profiling by peace officers under 81.12 their command. The training materials must address both the 81.13 agency's antiracial profiling policy and procedural components 81.14 aimed at eliminating racial profiling in stops of citizens. The 81.15 materials must include information on federal and state 81.16 constitutional and statutory laws prohibiting discrimination by 81.17 law enforcement. The procedural information must describe 81.18 conduct that is unlawful or inappropriate and present guidelines 81.19 for reinforcing techniques that are lawful and appropriate. The 81.20 procedural information shall discuss appropriate search and 81.21 seizure and interviewing techniques. 81.22 Subd. 8. [POST BOARD; COMPLIANCE REVIEWS AUTHORIZED.] The 81.23 board has authority to inspect state and local agency policies 81.24 to ensure compliance with subdivision 4. The board may conduct 81.25 this inspection based upon a complaint it receives about a 81.26 particular agency or through a random selection process. 81.27 Sec. 14.

[LEGISLATIVE INTENT; REPEAL OF SECTION 243.166, 112.19 SUBDIVISION 10.] 112.20 The original intent of the legislature in enacting 112.21 Minnesota Statutes, section 243.166, subdivision 10, was to 112.22 provide for a more uniform application of the predatory offender 112.23 registration law. Applying certain amendments to the law 112.24 retroactively to certain offenders was intended to ease the 112.25 administrative burden on agencies enforcing the law and better 112.26 serve the policy underlying it. The subdivision was not 112.27 intended to act as a limitation on registration but rather, in 112.28 some cases, as an expansion. The intent in repealing this 112.29 subdivision is to prevent a potential judicial misinterpretation 112.30 of it that was neither intended nor contemplated by the 112.31 legislature. The repeal must not be construed as a substantive 112.32 change in the application or scope of Minnesota Statutes, 112.33 section 243.166. 112.34 Sec. 8.

[169A.276] [MANDATORY PENALTIES; FELONY 118.29 VIOLATIONS.] 118.30 Subdivision 1. [MANDATORY PRISON SENTENCE.] (a) The court 118.31 shall sentence a person who is convicted of a violation of 118.32 section 169A.20 (driving while impaired) under the circumstances 118.33 described in section 169A.24 (first-degree driving while 118.34 impaired) to imprisonment for not less than three years. In 118.35 addition, the court may order the person to pay a fine of not 118.36 more than $14,000. 119.1 (b) The court may stay execution of this mandatory sentence 119.2 as provided in subdivision 2 (stay of mandatory sentence), but 119.3 may not stay imposition or adjudication of the sentence or 119.4 impose a sentence that has a duration of less than three years. 119.5 (c) An offender committed to the custody of the 119.6 commissioner of corrections under this subdivision, is not 119.7 eligible for release as provided in section 241.26, 244.065, 119.8 244.12, or 244.17, unless the offender has successfully 119.9 completed a chemical dependency treatment program while in 119.10 prison. 119.11 (d) Notwithstanding the statutory maximum sentence provided 119.12 in section 169A.24 (first-degree driving while impaired), when 119.13 the court commits a person to the custody of the commissioner of 119.14 corrections under this subdivision, it shall provide that after 119.15 the person has been released from prison the commissioner shall 119.16 place the person on conditional release for five years. The 119.17 commissioner shall impose any conditions of release that the 119.18 commissioner deems appropriate including, but not limited to, 119.19 successful completion of an intensive probation program as 119.20 described in section 169A.74 (pilot programs of intensive 119.21 probation for repeat DWI offenders).

Except as otherwise provided in this section, 119.28 conditional release is governed by provisions relating to 119.29 supervised release. The failure of a court to direct the 119.30 commissioner of corrections to place the person on conditional 119.31 release, as required in this paragraph, does not affect the 119.32 applicability of the conditional release provisions to the 119.33 person. 119.34 (e) The commissioner shall require persons placed on 119.35 supervised or conditional release under this subdivision to pay 119.36 as much of the costs of the supervision as possible.
