MEMORANDUM
TO: Esther Gesick, CTB DATE: September 18, 2017
FROM: Clay Kimmi, P.E., Public Works
SUBJECT: Union Pacific Crossing Agreement for CR 49 just
North of CR 54
Please place the attached crossing agreement on the BOCC Agenda. Once the agreement has been
signed, please return a signed original back to me so I can provide it to Union Pacific Railroad.
This agreement is for the replacement and widening of the railroad crossing at CR 49 just north of CR 54.
The railroad will widen their crossing across the new CR 49 alignment. Since the crossing is classified as
an exempt crossing by the Colorado PUC, the flashing lights and gates will not be reinstalled. However,
the crossing will be equipped with all of the necessary conduits needed to install the lights and gates in
the future.
Weld County is paying the railroad $176,638.00 for the agreement and the construction. Of the
$176,638, $44,000 is for the lease of the area covered by the crossing and $132,638.00 is for the
construction activities. The term of the lease is for as long as the roadway is in place. The cost for the
agreement and the construction activities will be paid by IHC.
I will plan on attending the BOCC hearing to answer any questions that the Board may have regarding
this agreement.
