The existing railroad crossing is substandard, too narrow and in poor condition. The railroad crossing improvements are a necessary part of the overall roadway improvements project. The crossing improvements would result in safer and more comfortable driving conditions. The Colorado Public Utilities Commission (PUC) has approved our application to proceed with the improvements of the railroad crossing. GWR will perform the work at an estimated total cost not to exceed$54,156.00, which has been approved in the 2010 budget. If actual costs are less than the estimated amount, GWR shall invoice the County for only the actual costs. The crossing improvements are scheduled for May 2010, prior to Weld County crews proceeding with construction of the roadway improvements. What options exist for the Board? The Board may choose approve or not approve this proposed Crossing Renewal Agreement. Recommendation to the Board: The Department recommends the Board approve this Crossing Renewal Agreement with the Great Western Railway.

CHANGE ORDER DESCRIPTION: After the Agreement dated 4/21/10 for railroad crossing improvements was completed, Public Works identified an adjacent irrigation/drainage culvert underneath the tracks which is in very poor condition. The best opportunity to replace the culvert is during the crossing improvements construction. The new culvert has been designed by Public Works. Northwestern Railroad Construction Inc. has agreed to complete the construction of the new culvert, but has requested additional compensation because the new culvert was not part of their original scope of work. Adequate funding is available in the project budget for this change order. CHANGE TO CONTRACT PRICE: Original Contract Price: $54,156.00 Current Contract Price adjusted by previous Change Order(s): $54,156.00 The Contract Price due to this Change Order will be increased by: $4,166.50 The new Contract Price, including this Change Order, will be: $58,322.50 CHANGE TO CONTRACT TIME: The Contract Time will be increased by 0 calendar days. The date for completion of all Work will be: August I, 2010.

Based on my tracking of actual material & labor costs for the WCR-13 crossing project, I estimate that by adding the sewer line installation the current agreement amount of $54,156.00 will be exceeded by $4,166. 50. This will bring the new total cost of construction to $58,322.50. Please review and I will call you soon to discuss.
