RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a Roadway Surfacing Agreement with BNSF Railway Company for Knightsen Avenue paving at the BNSF crossing, and APPROVE payment of $575 for BNSF’s Blanket Railroad Protective Liability Insurance Policy, Knightsen area.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Knightsen Avenue paving will be funded by Local Road funds (100%)

BACKGROUND:

This agreement is required to allow the County to work within 25 feet of BNSF’s railroad tracks. As a condition of the Roadway Surfacing Agreement, BNSF has required the County to indemnify BNSF and the indemnification language has been reviewed by County Risk Management. Payment of $575 is to participate in the BNSF Blanket Railroad Protective Liability Insurance Policy.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Public Works Department will not have sufficient access rights to allow needed maintenance to be performed at this location.
