FILE NUMBER
i jRECOMMENDED ACTION
( Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and
the Clerk of the Council to amend the prior agreement with the Union
Pacific Railroad (UPRR) Company to provide for final payment of the
actual costs to UPRR to provide signal interconnect/pre-emption between
the railroad controller and the traffic signal at Alton Avenue and
Greenville Street.
DISCUSSION
Traffic safety upgrades were recently completed at UPRR's railroad
crossing to provide advanced warning that a train is approaching. This
ensures that the traffic signal at Alton Avenue and Greenville Street
receives a signal that a train is approaching in advance of its arrival
since the intersection is within 200 feet of the railroad at-grade
crossing (Exhibit 1).
The original estimate of this work by UPRR was $12,227.00 plus a 10%
contingency resulting in a total amount of $13,449.70. This amount has
been paid by the City to UPRR. However, UPRR's actual costs to do the
work exceeded their original estimate for a total invoice of
$18,186.04. As a result, the remaining amount not yet paid is
$4,736.34. Council approval is requested for the additional amount of
$4,736.34 so the City can pay the remainder of this invoice to UPRR.
