ATTACHMENTS: Agreement APPROVED BY: LJM
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Approve an Agreement with Progressive Rail, Inc.
for an Improvement to Existing Public Road At Grade Crossing at 145th Street West.
BACKGROUND
Please find attached for Council consideration of an agreement with Progressive Rail for additional track
crossing surface on the north side of 145th Street West. Progressive Rail operates the western rail track on
behalf of Canadian Pacific Railroad. Execution of the attached agreement authorizes Progressive Rail to
order materials and schedule work crews for the completion of the improvements. The construction will
be completed by the Progressive Rail workforce and funded by the City. These improvements are
anticipated to be completed this fall, dependent upon work crew scheduling.
This work is an important component of work needed to be done to support the installation of the
sidewalk connection on the north side of 145th, which is anticipated to occur this fall as well.
As estimated by Progressive Rail, the cost for the improvements to be completed by the railroad included
in the attached agreement is $11,200.
The southern sidewalk connection is proposed to be installed with the 145th Street rehabilitation project,
currently scheduled for 2023 in the CIP. At that time, additional agreements with Progressive Rail and
Union Pacific will be required for southern track surface panel extension and relocation of the railroad’s
signal connections.
RECOMMENDATION
City staff requests Council approval of the attached agreement with Progressive Rail, Inc. for
improvements to the at-grade crossing as part of the 145th Street Pedestrian Improvements Project, City
Project 447.
