SUBJECT: LOUISVILLE/LAFAYETTE RAILROAD QUIET ZONE PROJECT <br />DATE: JANUARY 8, 2019 <br />PAGE 2 OF 3 <br />FISCAL IMPACT: <br />Staff Recommended: <br />2018 Budget Account Amount <br />Quiet Zones (Original Construction Budget) 301311-660202 (2231550.64) $2,062,670.00 <br />November Budget Amendment 301312-660202 $507,650.00 <br />Total 2018 Funding $2,570,320.00 <br />Roadway Construction Contract $375,922.20 <br />Contingency $56,389.00 <br />Total Roadway Construction Costs $432,311.20 <br />Remaining <br />$2,138,008.80 <br />The engineer's estimate for the four crossings that fall under the CDOT Grant <br />Agreement is $462,339 for Roadway Items and $1,637,462 for the Railroad Items for a <br />total of $2,099,801. The cost of the Roadway construction contract and contingency is <br />slightly below the engineer's estimate for the Roadway Items. The engineer's estimate <br />for the Railroad Items is still somewhat preliminary as the BNSF has not provided the <br />cost estimates for South Boulder Road. The engineer's estimate for the Dillon Road <br />Improvements is $630K. This estimate is also preliminary as the BNSF has not yet <br />provided the cost estimate for Dillon Road. <br />SCHEDULE: <br />CDOT will provide the City with a notice to proceed when they receive the railroad <br />clearance signed by the BNSF. If the last two cost estimates from BNSF are received in <br />January, a final ruling by the PUC may be received in March per the PUC's 60-day <br />review process. Construction could occur shortly after CDOT receives railroad <br />clearance. <br />LAFAYETTE IGA: <br />An IGA with the City of Lafayette was previously approved for cost sharing of design <br />services with Lafayette assigned 25% of local agency matching fund costs and 75% to <br />Louisville. This IGA was for the design period only. A new IGA is needed to cover <br />construction cost sharing. The Construction IGA assigns actual construction costs at the <br />Baseline Road Crossing to Lafayette and construction costs of the remaining crossings <br />to Louisville. The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the IGA. The Lafayette City <br />Attorney has reviewed and approved the Louisville/Lafayette IGA. <br />PROGRAM/SUB-PROGRAM IMPACT: <br />The recommended contract supports the goal of safe traveling conditions for <br />pedestrians and motorists. <br />CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION <br />
