RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and
Clerk of the Council to execute an amendment to the agreement with the
Union Pacific Railroad Company to provide signal pre-emption between the
railroad crossings and traffic signals on Alton Bike Trail, increasing
the amount by $14,861 for a total contract amount of $46,575.
DISCUSSION
In October 2002, the Public Works Agency entered into an agreement
with Union Pacific Railroad Company to provide railroad pre-emption
for the three traffic signals to be installed for Alton/Maple Bike
Trail at Main Street, Dyer Road and Flower Street. According to the
agreement Union Pacific Railroad Company will modify their railroad
equipment to provide the necessary railroad pre-emption to the traffic
signals. The City is required to reimburse Union Pacific Railroad
Company for the total cost of the proj ect estimated at $31,714. The
final cost incurred by the railroad company for the pre-emption is
$46,575, thus necessitating an amendment to the agreement.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),
the recommended action is not considered a CEQA project. Therefore, no
environmental documentation is required.
