Haug, Assistant County Attorney DATE: October 10, 2016 SUBJECT: Application to the Public Utilities Commission — Railroad Crossing Improvements WCR 13 Great Western Railroad Commissioners, Attached is an application to the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) for approval to make specified changes to a railroad crossing on Weld County Road 13. Any work to such crossings must be approved by the PUC, after application submitted by the County's attorney representative. Initially, Great Western was going to submit the application, but after discussion, Weld County is submitting it because that is the preference of the PUC. To accommodate increased traffic on CR 13 due to Martin Marietta's proposed development, Weld County is requiring the road be widened and therefore the existing grade crossing at CR 13 needs to be widened as well. The design was performed under Weld County's supervision as part of Martin Marietta's proposed development facility project improvements. The CR 13 grade crossing is located 7 miles east of Loveland, CO, on the border between Larimer County and Weld County. The work will involve widening the grade crossing, installing new track and new panels across the entire crossing, installing new gates with flashers for both directions, installing new railroad cantilever for NB direction, installing new railroad signal cabinet, installing new queue cutter signal for NB direction, installing new traffic signal cabinet and installing new R10-6 sign for NB direction. The estimated cost is $402,500. Martin Marietta will bear all costs for the CR 13 Improvements. The project engineers for the WCR 13 are Janet Lundquist and Mike Bedell. These applications have been submitted to the PUC for initial review, and they stated it looks in order. Public works has reviewed and doesn't have concern. I recommend you authorize me to place this application on your New Business Agenda. As always, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Agree with Recommendation Staff Work Session Requested Comments Kirkmeyer Freeman tiNC; Conway _. Cozad Moreno nil 2016-3286 BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF COLORADO DOCKET NO IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION OF BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF WELD COUNTY, COLORADO FOR AUTHORITY TO ALTER THE HIGHWAY -RAIL GRADE CROSSING (DOT NO. 849369H) OF CR 13, GWRCO MP 24.01, ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY OF COLORADO, LLC, LONGMONT SUBDIVISION. APPLICATION The Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado, (herein "Applicant" or "Weld County"), by and through its counsel, hereby applies to the Colorado Public Utilities Commission for an order authorizing the alteration of the at -grade crossing of CR 13 and the Great Western Railway of Colorado, LLC (hereinafter "GWRCO") tracks by widening and improving the crossing to accommodate a widened roadway to the east of the existing edge of travel way and installing active warning devices. In support of the Application, Applicant states as follows: 1. Applicant is Weld County. Its principal place of business is 1111 H Street, Greeley, Colorado, 80631. 2. Weld County is not a corporation or limited liability company. 3. Weld County is not a partnership. 4. County of Weld's representative for the purposes of this application is Janet Lundquist, Traffic Engineer, Weld County Public Works, 1111 H Street, Greeley, Colorado, 80632; (970) 304-6496 ext. 3726; Lundquist@co.weld.co.us 5. The U.S. DOT number for the crossing is 849369H. This crossing is on GWRCO's Longmont Subdivision, MP 24.01. 6. To accommodate increased traffic on CR 13 due to Martin Marietta's proposed development, Weld County is requiring the road be widened and therefore the existing grade crossing at CR 13 needs to be widened as well. The design was performed under Weld County's supervision as part of Martin Marietta's proposed development facility project improvements. The CR 13 grade crossing is located 7 miles east of Loveland, CO, on the border between Larimer County and Weld County. See Vicinity Map, Exhibit A. The work will involve widening the grade crossing, installing new track and new panels across the entire crossing, installing new gates with flashers for both directions, installing new railroad cantilever for NB direction, installing new railroad signal cabinet, installing new queue cutter signal for NB direction, installing new traffic signal cabinet and installing new R10-6 sign for NB direction. 7. CR 13 is a two-lane north -south rural arterial road with a vehicle speed limit of 55 mph. Photos of the crossing are attached as Exhibit B and Exhibit C. The CR 13 crossing is located approximately 450 feet south of Highway 34. It is currently a two-lane, paved roadway, approximately 24 feet wide. The crossing is equipped with passive warning devices in the form of crossbucks. The crossing surface consists of asphalt track panels. GWRCO has one mainline track at the CR 13 crossing. The timetable speed for the GWRCO mainline at the crossing is 10 mph. Currently, an average of 4-6 freight trains cross CR 13 per week based on data from the Diagnostic Meeting that occurred October 8, 2015. Railroad freight volumes may rise along the Longmont Subdivision due to anticipated customers. There is no passenger train service on this line. The Traffic Impact Study (completed in 2015) shows an existing daily average of 690 vehicles at the CR 13 crossing. The Traffic Impact Study also provided 2 year and 20 year projections of vehicle traffic at the crossing. In 2017, the average daily traffic using the CR 13 crossing is expected to increase to 1815 vehicles. In 2035, the average daily traffic using the CR 13 crossing is expected to increase to 4355 vehicles. 8. Detailed plans for the alterations to the CR 13 crossing, including profiles of the crossing, are attached as Exhibit D, E, F and G. In addition, the calculation for Advanced Preemption Time is attached as Exhibit H. The alterations include widening the roadway to have 2-12' lanes NB with a 2' paved shoulder and a 2' gravel shoulder and 1-12' lane SB with a 2' paved shoulder and a 2' gravel shoulder. The alterations also include removing the existing asphalt crossing panels, all rail, cross ties and installing new ties, rail, and concrete panels extending across the new widened roadway. The design also proposes installing: new railroad entrance gates with flashers for both directions, new railroad signal house, new traffic signal cabinet, new highway grade crossing cantilever for NB traffic, new queue cutter signal for NB traffic, new R 10-6 (Lt) sign for NB traffic, and new pavement markings at locations consistent with the MUTCD (collectively "the CR 13 Improvements"). There will be RR signal interconnection between the queue cutter signal and the railroad signal house. 9. A cost estimate for the CR 13 Improvements at the GWRCO Crossing based on the 100% design is attached as Exhibit I. The estimated cost is $402,500. Martin Marietta will bear all costs for the CR 13 Improvements. 10. Martin Marietta will start the project after PUC approval. The estimated date of approval is November 2016. Martin Marietta and their contractor(s) will construct the improvements. Construction is expected to be fully completed by September 2017. 11. The schematic diagram (front sheet) of the crossing warning devices is attached as Exhibit J. 12. GWRCO has consented to allow complete replacement and widening the existing grade crossing (including substructure, ties, rail, and surface) at CR 13, CO on certain terms and conditions set forth in a Draft Construction and Maintenance Agreement. 13.
