Analysis
On October 15th, 2013, the City Council approved a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into a Local Advance Funding Agreement (LPAFA) with the State for railroad advance preemption.
On November 17th, 2015, the City Council reaffirmed their support of the project by authorizing the City Manager sign a formal response to NCTCOG in order to avoid cancellation of the project as part of the RTC 10-year project policy through their 2017-2020 TIP development effort. Regional Transportation Council (RTC) reapproved the project on their May 2016 meeting.
State and Railroad entered into Highway-Railroad force account Agreement, authorizing reimbursement to the Railroad for actual costs of project implementation. Railroad agrees to furnish materials and labor to perform the work in connection with the project and any cost overruns in excess of the force account estimate will be at the Railroad’s expense.
Total Railroad force account project cost estimate is $1,713,200 of which $1,273,692 is federally funded, $40,188 is State funded, $171,320 is Railroad funded, and $228,000 is locally funded.
The funds will be used to update the current antiquated system and make the crossings much safer.
