HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - April 17, 2002 E-05AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Professional Services
Agreement with HDR Engineering, Inc., for Engineering Design Services Associated
with the Removal of Two Railroad Crossings on Turner Road and Lower
Sacramento Road; and Appropriate Funds for the Project
MEETING DATE: April 17, 2002
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to
execute a professional engineering services agreement with HDR Engineering,
Inc.; and appropriate funds for the Turner Road Rail Safety Project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In 1998, City staff requested of the California Public Utilities
Commission that the existing General Mills spur line crossing of
Turner Road be modified by moving existing crossing protection
devices from a westerly inactive crossing to the active spur line
crossing. In 1999, City staff applied for and received award for $202,000 of Section 130 funds from the
California Public Utilities Commission to implement the project.
The project includes the following features: one, remove the trackage from the Turner Road crossing
midway between Mills Avenue and Lower Sacramento Road; two, relocate the crossing protection
devices from the midway location (flashing signals and cross arms) to the active Turner Road crossing
near Mills Avenue; three, reconfigure the trackage within the switching area bounded by Turner Road,
Lower Sacramento Road, and Lodi Lake 13 -acre expansion; and, finally, abandon and remove the
Lower Sacramento Road rail crossing at the cemetery.
Through a competitive consultant selection process, HDR Engineering Inc., was ranked as preferred to
assist City staff in the application, processing and design of rail facilities required to implement this
project. The not -to -exceed cost of these services is approximately $47,200.
FUNDING: CPUC Section 130 funds/Local Street Impact Mitigation Fees
