Purpose: The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the status of the railroad permits,
coordination and status of the CSAH 18 interchange, Meadow Oak and
Highland Way projects.
Discussion Items:
1. Lynn will email information to include in the specifications. The Contractor will
be required to have an agreement with the BNSF RR during construction.
2. Utility crossing permit applications should be sent directly to Toni Gaiser of
Staubach (toni.gal ser@staubach.com). Each crossing will be a separate permit.
3. BNSF RR insurance requirements must be included in the specifications and met
by the contractor.
4. Lynn will finalize the draft RR Grade crossing agreement and confirm the
easement information. There will be three grade crossing agreements. The
agreement for the CSAH 18 crossing will be a 3-way agreement since the City
and County are splitting the costs 50%/50%. The Highland Way and Meadow
Oak crossing agreements will be between the City and BNSF. Shibani and
Nancy will submit the permits to the Agencies for execution.

this information as a part of the exhibit for the agreement.
7. Any existing utilities remaining in place will not require a new BNSF permit.
8. Shibani and Nancy will coordinate the City insurance information with Dawn
Grossinger of Monticello for the utility permit requirements.
9. The CSAH 18 project has been divided into two project bid at separate times.
The work on CSAH 18 south of Meadow Oak Avenue and form the RR tracks
north along CSAH 39 will be let with the Meadow Oak project. This change will
allow CSAH 18 to be closed earlier in the year.
10. An 8-foot concrete panel will be required for the sidewalk crossing along
Meadow Oak Avenue, given that the existing material between the tracks is
bituminous at Meadow Oak Avenue. Shibani will send Lynn a detail of the
sidewalk crossing showing the dimensions. Lynn will then have the cost
estimate completed. A one page agreement will also be prepared for the
sidewalk crossing. Shibani will check if an easement is needed.
11. BNSF's attorney is working on the agreement for the Highland Way crossing and
a draft will be submitted in the next few weeks. Lynn has the easement exhibit
and legal description as well as a request to complete a cost estimate for the
concrete surface crossing.
