The public authority shall send the Notice of Establishment to all affected jurisdictions after completion of the construction of improvements at all highway-rail grade crossings and other locations in the proposed quiet zone, including the owner of any private crossing included within the Quiet Zone. 2.4 Reimbursements a. Pay for all the cost of environmental or permitting documentation, preliminary and final engineering, construction, maintenance and replacement services of any new equipment or facilities at all highway-rail grade crossings to meet quiet zone requirements. b. Pay in advance an estimated amount of all costs related to review, coordination and flagging to SCRRA for in-house personnel and/or consultants retained by SCRRA. The original estimated costs would not be the upper limit of the costs but provide a guideline for budgeting purposes. Regardless, all costs incurred by SCRRA during design plan review process shall be fully recoverable from the public authority. c. Reimburse SCRRA the actual costs and expenses incurred by SCRRA (less funds previously deposited), including any provisional overhead rates representing SCRRA's costs for administration and management, and its contractors and consultants for all services and work performed in connection with the proposed quiet zones. 2.5 Construction a. Proceed with the non-railroad related improvements when SCRRA and CPUC approve the construction of the project. b. Comply with the rules and regulations contained in the current editions of the following SCRRA documents during the construction of the project. The SCRRA agreements and forms are available on SCRRA's website. • Indemnification Agreement (SCRRA Form No. 5) • Temporary Right-of--Entry agreement (SCRRA Form No. 6), • Rules and Requirements for Construction on Raikoad Property (SCRRA Form No. 37), • General Safety Regulations for Construction/Maintenance Activity on Railway Property, and • Applicable SCRRA Engineering Standards. 2.6 Maintenance Pay SCRRA the cost of maintenance of any additions, improvements and/or modifications to any active highway-rail grade crossing warning system necessary for the implementation of the proposed quiet zone as per terms and conditions included in the C&M agreement. As an example, if a crossing within a proposed quiet zone requires an upgrade from two gates to four (quad gates), SCRRA will continue to pay the cost of maintenance of the original two gates, and the public authority will reimburse SCRRA for annual maintenance on the additional two gates. The maintenance costs shall include inspections, testing, repairs, replacements, damage, third party utilities, and upgrades. The annual cost of maintenance of the active highway-rail grade crossing warning system shall be as determined by SCRRA, based on its annual survey of the maintenance cost of the system.
