Title

Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Public Highway At-Grade Crossing and Advanced Signal Agreement with Union Pacific Railroad Company for the St. Williams Street Quite Zone Project.

 

Body

Please consider a resolution to approve an Agreement with Union Pacific Railroad for the at-grade crossing and advance signal installation at St. Williams Drive and McNeil Road,  mile post 162.59.

 

This agreement with Union Pacific if for the installation of  four quad gates with loop detection circuits, new constant warning technology, gates and lights, and advance preemption circuitry.  This equipment is necessary to bring this crossing into compliance for the Railroad Quiet Zone.

 

The estimate for the signal work is $730,393.00 and the City is responsible for the actual costs of the construction.  Payment is due as Union Pacific Railroad completes the work typically on a monthly basis.  This does not include any flagging while construction is under way.  The funding was previously approved with City Council item 2017-3905.
