BACKGROUND INFORMATION: As part of the construction of Thurman Street east of Beckman Road as previously authorized by the City Council, the existing CCT railroad crossing must be rebuilt. Since the crossing predates the street, this construction cost will be at the City's expense. City staff asked that CCT consider the use of a rubber crossing surface which should have a significantly longer life than the typical asphalt concrete crossing surface. CCT has responded with an offer (see attachment) to install the new crossing along with our street project. This crossing, including the surface and new crossing protection gates, was included in the Street Development Impact Mitigation Program. According to the crossing agreement with the California Public Utilities Commission, gates are required to be installed within one year of operation of the crossing. Staff intends to ask the CCT for a price to do this installation also. FUNDING: Street Development Impact Mitigation Fund - $20 0. Jack . Ronsko ubli iWorks Director Prepared by Richard C.
