AQenda Item No, ~ CITOOF SAN BERNARDI~ - REQUeor FOR COUNCIL AC"C))N STAFF REPORT The City entered into an Agreement, dated 1-6-81, with Santa Fe Railway Company relative to widening and upgrading the crossing protection. However, this project was not accomplished due to a lack of obligational authority for Section 203 Federal-aid Funds. An attempt was made in 1985 to revive this project. We were advised that the project was no longer eligible for financing under Section 203, since automatic gates were in operation at the crossing. A new rule had been issued in an attempt to restrict the use of Section 203 Funds to crossings with a vehicle-train accident potential. Any crossing with automatic gates was considered protected, and widening was to accommodate development, which was not the intent of the Section 203 program. An appeal was made on this ruling. After an extended review period, it was decided that the project was eligible for Section 203 Funds. The Agreement dated 1/6/81 provides, in general, that Santa Fe will prepare, at their expense, the railroad tracks to receive planking within the limits of the existing roadway. Also, that Santa Fe will at City's expense, place timber planks within the widened portion of the roadway. The estimated cost for work at City's expense was $16,080. The Supplemental Agreement amends the estimated cost for work at City's expense to $17,641.00, provides a right-of-entry, and incorporates insurance requirements for the City's contractor. Service Contract No. 59R506 has been prepared by Caltrans to cover installation of two No. 9A automatic gates with flashing lights and two No.8 flashing light signals mounted in curbed medians. The estimated cost for installation of these protection devices by Railway Forces is $135,000.00. Section 203 Funds will finance 90% with the remaining $13,500.00 to be financed with City Funds. This Agreement has been executed by Santa Fe and returned to Caltrans for further handling. At the Council Meeting of 6/9/86 (Budget), the project concept was approved and direction given that an attempt be made to identify the funding. A copy of the Agreement, dated 1/6/81, is attached for reference. In view of the favorable return on funds to be expended by the City, and the urgent need for this crossing to be widened, we recommend that the Supplemental Agreement be approved. 2 7".0264 C 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 o o o RESOLUTION NO, RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO AUTHORIIING THE EXECUTION OF A SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH THE ATCHISON, TOPEKA & SANTA FE RAILWAY COMPANY RELATIVE TO THE WIDENING AND IMPROVEMENT OF GRADE CROSSING NO. 2-83,9 ON PEPPER AVENUE.
