AGREEMENT
Between
TOWN OF MARANA, ARIZONA
And
UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY
This AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is entered into this day of
2009, between TOWN OF MARANA, an Arizona municipal
corporation, (hereinafter referred to as "Town") and the UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD
COMPANY, a Delaware corporation operating a railroad in the State of Arizona
(hereinafter referred to as "UPRR").
RECITALS
A. UPRR currently is constructing a second main track on and along the Gila
Subdivision (Yuma-Tucson) main line in Arizona wherever there is currently only a
single main line track. UPRR's project requires construction of a second main track
through and across existing public at-grade crossings within the municipal limits of
Town. A list of seven (7) existing public at-grade crossings of UPRR's Gila Subdivision
main line located within the Town is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein
by reference.
B. UPRR and Town have met on several occasions to discuss UPRR's
second main track construction project. UPRR has presented maps and other information
to Town. Town understands the scope of the project as it may affect roadway at-grade
crossings within its jurisdiction. Town has expressed concern about various matters
related to UPRR's main line, including the second main track, as it passes through the
Town.
C. UPRR wishes to obtain Town's general support and cooperation with
respect to construction of the second main track through Town, particularly with respect
to the at-grade crossings listed on Exhibit A. Town wishes to have UPRR address certain
Town concerns about UPRR's installation of its second main track and future grade
separations over the main line. UPRR and Town desire to enter into this binding
Agreement to address Town's concerns and to secure Town's cooperation with respect to
the construction of second main track across the at-grade crossings listed on Exhibit A.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto make and enter into the following
binding agreement:
UPRR OBLIGATIONS
1. Barnett Channel Project. UPRR shall cooperate with the Town's project to
install the Barnett Channel, which is a planned waterway, which would cross under the
UPRR main line at RR MP 963.4. The Town's plans for the Barnett Channel include
construction of a bridge for the existing UPRR main line track over the proposed Barnett
Channel, and the Town shall pay the cost of installation of such bridge. The plans for the
Barnett Channel include a separate bridge structure for the second main track to be
installed by UPRR, and UPRR shall pay the cost of installation of such bridge for the
second main track. Provided, however, if the Town changes the plans for the Barnett
Channel project in a manner which materially increases the size of the required bridges
and the corresponding cost, then the Town shall pay the portion of the cost of such
second bridge which reflects the increase over the projected cost based on the plans for
the Barnett Channel project on the date hereof. If relocation of fiber optic lines on the
UPRR right of way at this location is required as part of the installation of the UPRR
second main track, then UPRR shall complete the relocation per existing UPRR
agreements with third parties in a manner which will accommodate the plans for the
Barnett Channel project. Provided, however, if relocation of the fiber optic lines on the
UPRR right of way at this location is not required as part of the installation of UPRR's
second main track, but is required as part of the installation of the Barnett Channel, then
UPRR shall- cooperate with the need for such relocation, but the cost of such relocation
required for the Barnett Channel project shall be paid by the Town.
2. Crossing Permits. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, UPRR shall
cooperate and reasonably expedite UPRR's review and consideration of utility right of
way crossing applications, whether or not located in public rights of way, for private
crossings located in the Town. Provided, however, such applications must comply with
UPRR's then-current utility right of way crossing requirements and standards.
3. Maintenance of Structures. UPRR shall cooperate with Town on
necessary inspections and maintenance of the structures now existing or subsequently
installed at the crossings listed on Exhibit A or otherwise contemplated herein, in
accordance with UPRR's then-current Right of Entry Agreement form and any other
agreements between the parties.
4. New Tangerine Road. UPRR shall cooperate with Town on Town's
development of a grade separation for New Tangerine Road over the UPRR right of way,
including reasonably expediting review and approval of plans, specifications and
agreements submitted by the Town, each of which must comply with UPRR's then-
current requirements and standards. Provided, however, UPRR acknowledges its
approval of the current plans for this grade separation, which plans include piers
supporting the New Tangerine Road overpass located in the UPRR right of way. UPRR
shall also support the Town's application to the Arizona Corporation Commission
("ACC") for the proposed grade separation project. Provided, however, the Town agrees
that UPRR shall not be required to contribute any funding to the New Tangerine Road
grade separation project unless the project includes the closure of an existing public at-
grade crossing somewhere in the Town. If the New Tangerine Road grade separation
project includes the closure of an existing public at-grade crossing somewhere in the
Town, and the Town receives federal funding for such grade separation project, then
UPRR shall be liable for a five percent (5%) share of the cost of the theoretical structure
under the provisions of the Federal Aid Policy Guide as contained in 23 CFR 646,
Subpart B, Section 646.210(b)(1). Provided, if the Town does not receive federal
funding for this grade separation project (and the grade separation project includes the
closure of an existing public at-grade crossing), then UPRR's share of the cost of such
theoretical structure shall be ten percent (10%).
5. Future Grade Separation Projects. UPRR shall, at the appropriate time,
negotiate with Town in good faith the timing of UPRR's funding of its share of the cost of
such theoretical structure. for grade separation projects for the following locations:
Marana Road Overpass at RR MP 961.33
Moore Road Overpass at RR MP [tbd]
Avra Valley Road Overpass at RR MP [tbd]
Twin Peaks Road Overpass at RR MP 970.18
Cortaro Road Overpass at RR MP 972.01
Ina Road Overpass at RR MP 974.03.
For each of these grade separations, the share of the cost which UPRR would be required
to contribute would be ten percent (10%) for projects with no federal funding and five
percent (5%) for such projects with federal funding, in each case as a percent of
theoretical structure under the provisions of the Federal Aid Policy Guide as contained in
23 CFR 646, Subpart B, Section 646.210(b)(1), and in each case solely to the extent the
grade separation project results in the closure of an existing public at-grade crossing. In
each case, the share of the cost indicated as payable by UPRR is the maximum share of
such cost which UPRR would be required to contribute. Except as provided in Section 6
below, in no event shall UPRR be required to contribute to any funding of a grade
separation structure for which there is not a corresponding closure of an existing public
at-grade crossing. The design plans for all grade separation projects shall comply with
UPRR's then-current requirements and standards, including the requirement that the
grade separation clear span the entire UPRR right of way, with no supporting piers or
abutments in the UPRR right of way, unless UPRR agrees otherwise. For these grade
separation projects to be eligible for the specifics of this section, they must begin while
this agreement is effective. For the purposes of this agreement, begin is defined as a
point in which a consultant is actively under contract for the design of construction
documents, whether by the Town or another entity.
6. Tortolita Boulevard Grade Separation Project. Notwithstanding any
language to the contrary in Section 5 above, UPRR shall contribute its five percent (5%)
or ten percent (10%) share of the cost of the theoretical structure for the Town's Tortolita
Boulevard grade separation project at RR MP 959.43, even though such project shall not
result in the closure of an at-grade public crossing. As with other grade separation
projects noted above, UPRR's share shall be ten percent (10%) if no federal funding is
obtained by the Town, or five percent (5%) if federal funding is obtained.
7. Subsequent Utility Relocations. UPRR shall communicate with Town
regarding UPRR's second main track project so the Town shall have an opportunity to
request that UPRR plan the relocation of any utilities in connection with the second main
track project to depths which would accommodate future projects planned by the Town.
TOWN OBLIGATIONS
8. Town Projects in UPRR Ri t of Way. In connection with all Town
projects on UPRR right of way, Town shall execute UPRR's then-current form of
Construction and Maintenance Agreement, License Agreement or Right of Entry
Agreement, as applicable, in connection with such projects, including any grade
separation projects for the crossings listed on Exhibit A or otherwise contemplated
herein. Additionally, UPRR and Town anticipate that, for each of the particular projects
contemplated in this Agreement, UPRR and Town shall enter into a more detailed
agreement for each such particular project at the time the Town moves forward with such
particular project, in each case consistent with the provisions set forth herein.
9. UPRR Second Main Track Project Cooperation.
(a) Town shall support UPRR's second main track project, including
specifically supporting and approving construction of the second main track over and
across each grade crossing listed on Exhibit A. Town shall provide one or more letters to
or filings with the ACC advising the ACC that Town supports and approves UPRR's
project applications for construction of a second main track across all public grade
crossings within the jurisdiction of Town. If appropriate, Town will endeavor to appear
at ACC hearings and public meetings to advise the ACC that it supports and approves
UPRR's applications to the ACC for authority to alter the subject grade crossings by
installing a second main track at grade.
(b) UPRR shall file this Agreement (when effective) with the ACC in
support of each application it files for an additional main track over and across a public
grade crossing listed on Exhibit A. Town agrees to provide statements confirming the
effectiveness of this Agreement if so requested by the ACC or UPRR.
10. Permits. Upon request by UPRR, Town shall reasonably expedite review
and approval of any permit applications by UPRR for its second main track project within
the Town's jurisdiction, including promptly reviewing and approving any UPRR flood
plain permit applications.
