Mr. Steve Jankowski <br />City of Ramscy <br />2005 BNSF Maintenance Corridor <br />May 23, 2005 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />When crossings are upgraded to concrete, the Railroad removes the existing surface and ties, and <br />replaces the surfitce with 8' pre-cast concrete panels. They place 10' ties on either side of the <br />crossing to better support these panels. The Railroad also puts in additional subballast (if <br />needed) for a stronger track structure, and performs the approach work on either side of the <br />tracks to restore the roadway surface to be at least in the condition it was before the railroad <br />surface was replaced. <br /> <br />The approximate total cost of installing a concrete surface is $1,200 per lineal foot of crossing <br />width. Because the Railroad forces will .already be mobilized, BNSF is willing to offer a cost <br />participation rate of $400 per lineal foot from the community. The above-referenced crossing <br />totals 80 lineal feet in crossing width that has been identified for possible upgrading. The total <br />amount requested of your community is $32,000. <br /> <br />l have enclosed two copies of the crossing surface agreement for your review. If this agreement <br />is acceptable to the City, please sign both copies and return them to my atention. Once BNSF's <br />signature is obtained, you will receive one fully-executed copy of the agreement for your <br />records. <br /> <br />Please ['eel free to contact me at 651/292-4632 with any further questions. I look forward to <br />working with you on this Project. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Representing BNSF Railway Company <br /> <br />gnclosures <br /> <br /> <br />
