NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS RAILROAD WARNING DEVICE INSTALLATION PROJECTS TYPICAL PROJECT PROGRESSION SEQUENCE STEP 1 Receive and execute Local Project Advance Funding Agreement (LPAFA) from TxDOT district office. Return it to TxDOT district office for final execution. STEP 2 Coordinate with TxDOT district office and the railroad company to schedule a diagnostic inspection of each site. STEP 3 Prepare a set of plans (Exhibit A) for the installation of the warning devices based upon information gathered at the diagnostic inspection. Submit those plans to TxDOT district office for review and comment STEP 4 Prepare an agreement between the local authority and the railroad company for the installation of the warning devices. Submit two originals of this agreement along with the plans (Exhibit A) to the railroad for approval and execution. The cover letter to the railroad company with this submittal should include some phrasing stating that the railroad company is authorized to begin engineering of the project contingent upon approval of the agreement The railroad company should return both originals to the local authority for final execution along with the circuit layout and estimate from the railroad's engineering contractor or department Compile all of these documents together into a complete PS&E package (Exhibit B) and distribute copies to all parties involved (railroad original back to them, fully executed). STEPS The railroad company will request a Work Order so that they may begin installation. The local authority should complete all curb work, median work, or other roadway modifications needed to accommodate the railroad force account work prior to issuing the work order to the railroad company. STEP 6 (Recommended) The local authority should have an inspector visit the site on a daily basis to insure that the installation is proceeding as planned and in a timely manner. STEP 7 (Recommendedl When the work is completed, a final inspection of the site should be done. It is most efficient if this inspection can be accomplished at the time the signal is cut-over, or placed in selVice. However, if that cannot be done, the railroad should send an in-selVice notification to the local authority, which can then coordinate with the railroad company to schedule the final inspection.

The Railroad and Railroad's contractor shall retain adequate cost accounting records for auditing purposes for three years after the fmal payment.. It has been determined that no benefits shall be construed as accruing to the Railroad and no contribution to this project will be required of the Railroad. 7. MAINTENANCE. The Railroad shall maintain and operate this highway-railroed grade crossing warning system as installed and in accordance with the design ofoperation as shown in the Exhibit B. No changes are to be made in the design, operation or location ofthe warning system without the written approval ofthe State. The State shall trim and maintain trees and vegetation for visibility ofcrossing signals and signs as well as maintain pavement markings and advance warning signs placed along the roadway. 8. TERMINATION. The State and Railroad mutually agree that this agreement shall be effective from its date, and thereafter until terminated by either party giving to the other eighteen (18) months written notice ofits desire to terminate the same. uPon. such or 􀁬􀁬􀁬􀁬􀁾􀀮􀁾􀀼􀁴􀁃􀁩􀁭􀁩􀁮􀁡 􀁴􀁩􀁯􀁮􀀬􀀠State will surrender possession of the licensed premises to Railroed.
