REQUEST FOR <br />COUNCIL ACTION <br />CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: <br />AUGUST 21, 2006 <br />TITLE; <br />AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT WITH <br />UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY <br />(PROJECT 2597) <br />`" CITY MANAGER <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br />APPROVED <br />^ As Recommended <br />^ As Amended <br />^ Ordinance on 1S` Reading <br />^ Ordinance on 2nd Reading <br />^ Implementing Resolution <br />^ Set Putalic Hearing For_ <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and <br />the Clerk of the Council to amend the prior agreement with the Union <br />Pacific Railroad (UPRR) Company to provide for final payment of the <br />actual costs to UPRR to provide signal interconnect/pre-emption between <br />the railroad controller and the traffic signal at Alton Avenue and <br />Greenville Street. <br />DISCUSSION <br />Traffic safety upgrades were recently completed at UPRR's railroad <br />crossing to provide advanced warning that a train is approaching. This <br />ensures that the traffic signal at Alton Avenue and Greenville Street <br />receives a signal that a train is approaching in advance of its arrival <br />since the intersection is within 200 feet of the railroad at-grade <br />crossing (Exhibit 1). <br />The original estimate of this work by UPRR was $12,227.00 plus a 10~ <br />contingency resulting in a total amount of $13,449.70. This amount has <br />been paid by the City to UPRR. However, UPRR's actual costs to do the <br />work exceeded their original estimate for a total invoice of <br />$18,186.04. As a result, the remaining amount not yet paid is <br />$4,736.34. Council approval is requested for the additional amount of <br />$4,736.34 so the City can pay the remainder of this invoice to UPRR. <br />25Q-1 <br />
