The UPRR/CDOT agreement includes the closure of several roads that intersect the railroad and US 85, most of which are under the jurisdiction of Weld County (see Table A-1 below). CDOT does not have authority to close county roads and has therefore coordinated ki ith Weld County to satisfy this portion of the agreement. The work necessary to close the crossings will be performed by CDOT and Weld County maintenance crews as described in the following sections. Table A-1: Road Closures Closure Jurisdiction WCR 2.5 Weld County WCR 29 Weld County WCR 30 Weld County WCR 33 Weld County WCR 44 Weld County WCR 46/35 Weld County O Street Weld County WCR 72 Weld County WCR 37 Weld County WCR 78 Weld County WCR 100 Weld County WCR 104 Weld County CDOT Responsibilities CDOT maintenance will be responsible for all improvements and removals on CDOT ROW. Additionally, CDOT maintenance will install all barriers and barricades and associated signage, which includes work on Weld County ROW. In the immediate vicinity of the crossing, CDOT will remove signs (except railroad signage) and pavement markings and install new signage and pavement markings as needed, including those on Weld County ROW. CDOT maintenance will also complete all removal of pavement (except railroad crossing material) and all seeding on CDOT and Weld County ROW. CDOT maintenance will create all new signs and barricades for the project, regardless of location. Weld County Responsibilities Weld County will prepare vacate plans for each crossing and seek authorization from the Weld County Board of County Commissioners to hold public hearings regarding vacation of the roads. Weld County will remove signs and pavement markings and install new signage not directly adjacent to the crossing on County Roads. Weld County will provide all posts for signs they are installing, and will obtain new signs from CDOT maintenance. Following installation of barriers and barricades, Weld County will be responsible for maintenance of barricades on the outside of the railroad. Exhibit A - Page 1 of 2 EXHIBIT A, STATEMENT OF WORK Local Access Improvements Weld County and local stakeholders have requested local access improvements adjacent to the closures to maintain mobility and mitigate added travel time for local residents and businesses. These improvements are summarized in Table A-2. CDOT Responsibilities CDOT will transfer $6,000,000 to complete local access improvements at WCRs 2.5, 29, 30, 46/35, 72, 100, and 104, and to support the design and construction of improvements at O Street and WCRs 37 and 78. While this amount does not reflect the total cost identified for the Local Access Improvements, CDOT will work with Weld County on funding solutions needed in order for Weld County to effectuate the closure of the County Roads. It is understood and agreed by the Parties hereto that the total cost of the Work stated hereinbefore is the best estimate available, based on the design data as approved at the time of execution of this Contract. The amount will not exceed the current estimate unless such amount is increased by an appropriate written modification to this Contract executed before any increased cost is incurred. Weld County Responsibilities Weld County will be responsible for all aspects of the design, construction, and maintenance of local access improvements, excluding the improvements associated with the closure of WCR 30. The County will ensure that improvements are adequate to meet local agencies' and stakeholders' mobility requirements. Weld County will enter into an IGA with Platteville to allow closure of WCR 30 immediately following transfer of $1M from Weld County to Platteville. Nothing herein shall require Weld County to expend funds over and above the payments made under Exhibit C.
