Adopt a Resolution adopting the 45th Amendment to the Annual Appropriation Resolution No. 2007-214 to appropriate $755,500 for Railroad Crossing Safety Improvements at three BNSF crossings in Fresno EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Three existing at -grade railroad crossings of the BNSF railroad tracks and West Avenue, Palm Avenue and Olive Avenue have been selected for safety improvements by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and the Caltrans Division of Rail. The Section 130 program provides 100% of the funds required for the railroads and cities to improve crossing safety. Staff *SFJECT TO MAYOR'S VETO 7 Report to the City Council Railroad Crossing Safety Improvements November 27, 2007 Page 2 from the California Public Utilities Commission/Rail Safety Division (CPUC), Caltrans Division of Rail, the City of Fresno and the BNSF Railroad have agreed on the scope of work and cost estimates for the work, as reflected in the proposed agreements between the City and State. The agreements have been reviewed as to form by the City Attorney's Office. Upon execution of the agreements, the State will provide the City and BNSF their notices to proceed, after which the safety improvement projects may begin. It is anticipated that the work will require several months to complete. KEY OBJECTIVE BALANCE The recommended action promotes Financial Management by the City accepting State funds for these improvements. The action promotes Customer Satisfaction and Employee Satisfaction by improving safety at the crossing and minimizing the potential for accidents between trains and vehicular traffic. BACKGROUND As provided by Title 23, United States Code, Section 130 (23 U.S.C. 130), the Section 130 Program provides Federal funds for the elimination of hazards at existing at -grade highway -rail crossings (crossings). The purpose of Section 130 Program is to reduce the number, severity and potential of hazards to motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians at crossings. The Section 130 program is a cooperative effort between the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), California Public Utilities Commission (Commission), railroad companies and local agencies. The Section 130 funds are distributed to each State based on Federal formulas and then administered in California by the CPUC and Caltrans Division of Rail. Crossings are selected for inclusion in the State-wide funding list based on their hazard potential. There are a number of sources the Commission staff uses to identify crossings that present a high hazard potential. These include the Federal Railroad Administration's (FRA) Web Accident Prediction System, crossing accident history and trends, the Commission's crossing database, Commission staff, local agencies, and railroads. Commission staff reviews each identified crossing. The review determines which crossings are considered for Section 130 funds. This is based upon such factors as the Federal program requirements, eligibility criteria, and if there are improvements which can be made to reduce hazards that are covered by the Section 130 program. Each year, Public Works engineers participate with the railroads and CPUC staff in an all -day diagnostic field review of every crossing in the City of Fresno that is eligible for funding. These crossings are then given a priority ranking by the CPUC based on several factors, including the US Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) Accident Prediction Formula. Due to the finite amount of funding, the final priority list is created based on the highest ranking crossings. Commission staff annually provides the updated priority list of projects to Caltrans. Caltrans is then responsible for developing contracts. Caltrans uses the final priority list to obligate funding in order of priority. Report to the City Council Railroad Crossing Safety Improvements November 27, 2007 Page 3 Caltrans Division of Rail has worked with City staff to finalize the contractual agreements for the three crossings. BNSF is contracting directly with Caltrans for work in railroad right-of-way including installation of standard gates and warning devices. The City's agreement with Caltrans Division of Rail provides funding for the City to install median islands and restripe the roadway in order that a railroad gate arm may be installed in the median for safety purposes. At the Palm Avenue/BNSF crossing, the improvements will also include an upgrade to the Palm/Dakota traffic signal for protected left tum phasing and the current CPUC standard of railroad signal preemption. Depending upon availability of City street maintenance crews at the time the railroad is ready to begin; the work will either be performed by City crews or bid out to private contractors. FISCAL IMPACT Funding of improvements at each railroad crossing will come from Federal or State grants administered by the Caltrans Division of Rail and will not require any matching funds from the City.
