Explanation
§ On March 26, 2012, the City Council authorized a reimbursement agreement with CSX Transportation Inc. (CSX) to reimburse CSX for costs associated with the Blue Line Extension (BLE) project.
§ The BLE crosses over the CSX right-of-way on a bridge just south of 16th Street. The crossing requires that CATS construct drainage improvements under the CSX railroad. CSX has approved the design and is providing additional flagging, engineering, and inspection services during construction.
§ Amendment #3 is needed due to a substantial increase in flagging needs and project duration.
- On March 27, 2012, the reimbursement agreement was executed in the amount of $402,000.
- On April 20, 2016, amendment #1 was executed amending the terms of the agreement related to the drainage work. Amendment #1 did not change the contract amount.
- On September 12, 2016, City Council approved amendment #2 for $176,801 for additional time and flagging.
§ The new value of the contract, including this amendment, will be $830,777.
