On January 8, 2025, BPD entered into Agreement No. 2025-001 with KCSOS to provide SRO program services with a term date of June 30, 2026, and a not to exceed amount of $138,000.
Due to the success of the program both parties would like to continue the SRO program for the 26/27 school year. The district will pay at the following rate:
School year 26/27 a rate of $8,132 per officer per two (2) weeks of service with a not to exceed compensation amount of $220,000.
FISCAL IMPACT: KCSOS will only be billed for the weeks the district schools are in session, plus one additional week immediately prior to the first week of the school year and one additional week immediately following the last week of the school year.

a. Workers’ Compensation and Employer’s Liability Insurance Requirement. If Agency has employees who may perform any Acquisition under this Agreement, Agency shall submit written proof that Agency is insured against liability for workers’ compensation in accordance with the provisions of California Labor Code Section 3700. Agency shall require any Agency Representatives to provide workers’ compensation for any of the Agency Representative’s employees, unless the employees are covered by the insurance carried by Agency. If any class of employees engaged in the Acquisition is not covered by California Labor Code Section 3700, Agency shall provide and/or require each Agency Representative to provide adequate insurance for the coverage of employees not otherwise covered. Agency shall also maintain employer’s liability insurance with limits of $1,000,000 for bodily injury or disease.
b. Liability Insurance Requirements.
i. Types of Liability Insurance. Agency shall maintain in full force and effect, during the Term, the following types of liability insurance:
1. Commercial General Liability Insurance, including Contractual Liability Insurance (specifically covering the indemnification provisions of this Agreement), Products-Completed Operations Hazard, Personal Injury (including bodily injury and death), and Property Damage for liability arising out of Agency’s performance of the Acquisition. The Commercial General Liability insurance shall contain no exclusions or limitations for Agency Representatives working on the behalf of the named insured. Agency shall maintain the Products-Completed Operations Hazard coverage for the longest period allowed by Applicable Law following termination of this Agreement. The amount of the insurance coverage required by this Agreement shall be the policy limits, which shall be no less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) each occurrence and two million dollars ($2,000,000) aggregate.
2. Automobile Liability Insurance, against claims of Personal Injury (including bodily injury and death) and Property Damage covering any owned, leased, hired and non-owned vehicles used in the performance of the Acquisition with insurance coverage equal to the policy limits, which shall be no less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) each occurrence.
3. Professional Liability (Errors and Omissions) Insurance, for liability arising out of or related to the performance of the Acquisition, with insurance coverage equal to the policy limits, which shall be no less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) each occurrence and two million dollars ($2,000,000) aggregate.
ii. Endorsements. The Commercial General Liability and Automobile Liability Insurance required in this Section 18 shall include an endorsement naming County and County Indemnified Parties as additional insureds for liability arising out of this Agreement and any related operations. The endorsement shall be provided using one of the following three options: (i) on ISO form CG 20 10 11 85; or (ii) on ISO form CG 20 37 10 01 plus either ISO form CG 20 10 10 01 or CG 20 33 10 01; or (iii) on other forms which provide coverage at least equal to or better than form CG 20 10 11 85.
iii. Claims-Made Insurance. If any of the insurance coverages required under this Agreement is written on a claims-made basis, Agency, at Agency’s option, shall either (i) maintain the coverage for at least three years following the termination of this Agreement with coverage extending back to the Effective Date; (ii) purchase an extended reporting period of not less than three years following the termination of this Agreement; or (iii) acquire a full prior acts provision on any renewal or replacement policy.
c. Insurance Companies. All insurance shall be issued by a company or companies admitted to do business in California and listed in the current “Best’s Key Rating Guide” publication with a minimum rating of A-; VII. Any exception to these requirements must be approved in writing by the County Risk Manager.
d. Self-Insurance. If Agency is, or becomes during the Term, self-insured or a member of a self-insurance pool, Agency shall provide coverage equivalent to the required insurance coverages and endorsements. County will not accept the coverages unless the County Risk Manager determines, in its sole discretion and by written acceptance, that the coverages proposed to be provided by Agency are equivalent to the required coverages. e. Primary Insurance; Waiver of Subrogation. All insurance carried by Agency shall be primary to and not contributing to any insurance or self-insurance maintained by County. f. Insurance Does Not Replace Indemnification. Maintenance of the insurance coverages in the minimum specified amounts shall not be construed to relieve Agency for any liability, whether within, outside, or in excess of the coverage, and regardless of solvency or insolvency of the insurer that issues the coverage; nor shall it preclude County from taking other actions as are available to it under this Agreement or under Applicable Law. g. Failure to Maintain Insurance. Failure by Agency to maintain all insurance in effect at all times required by this Agreement shall be a material breach of this Agreement by Agency.
County, at its sole option, may terminate this Agreement and obtain damages from Agency resulting from the breach. Alternatively, County may purchase the required insurance coverage, and without further notice to Agency, County shall deduct from sums due to Agency any premiums and associated costs advanced or paid by County for the insurance.
If the balance of monies owed to Agency under this Agreement is insufficient to reimburse County for the premiums and any associated costs, Agency shall reimburse County for the premiums and pay for all costs associated with the purchase of the insurance. Any failure by County to take this alternative action shall not relieve Agency of its obligation to obtain and maintain the insurance coverages required by this Agreement. h. Cancellation of Insurance. The insurance coverages required to be maintained by Agency shall be maintained until the completion of the Acquisition except as otherwise stated in this Agreement. Each insurance policy supplied by Agency shall not be terminated, suspended, voided, canceled, non-renewed or reduced in coverage or in limits except after 10 days prior written notice to Agency in the case of non-payment of premiums, or 30 days prior written notice in all other cases. This notice requirement does not waive these insurance requirements. Agency shall immediately obtain replacement coverage for any insurance policy that is terminated, suspended, voided, canceled, reduced in coverage, or whose policy limits have been exhausted or upon insolvency of the insurer that issued the policy.
18. Modifications of Agreement. This Agreement may be modified in writing only, signed by the Parties in interest at the time of the modification.
19. Negation of Partnership. In the performance of the Acquisition under this Agreement, Agency shall be, and acknowledges that Agency is, in fact and law, the recipient of an allocation and not an agent or employee of County. Agency has and retains the right to exercise full supervision and control over the manner and method of performing the Acquisition under this Agreement. Agency retains full supervision and control over the employment, direction, compensation and discharge of all persons assisting Agency in the performance of the Acquisition under this Agreement. With respect to Agency’s employees, if any, Agency shall be solely responsible for payment of wages, benefits and other compensation, compliance with all occupational safety, welfare and civil rights laws, tax withholding and payment of employee taxes, whether federal, state or local, and compliance with any and all other laws regulating employment.
20. Non-Collusion Covenant. Agency represents and agrees that (i) it has in no way entered into any contingent fee arrangement with any firm or person concerning the obtaining of this Agreement with County and (ii) it has received from County no incentive or special payments and no considerations not related to the provision of the Acquisition.
21. Nondiscrimination. Neither Agency, nor any Agency Representative, shall discriminate in the treatment or employment of any individual or groups of individuals on the grounds of race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, or any other classification protected by Applicable Law, either directly, indirectly or through contractual or other arrangements.
22. Non-waiver. No term, covenant or condition of this Agreement can be waived except by the prior written consent of County. Forbearance or indulgence by County shall not constitute a waiver of the covenant or condition to be performed by Agency. County shall be entitled to invoke any remedy available to County under this Agreement or by Applicable Law despite the forbearance or indulgence.

All notices under this Agreement shall be provided to Kern County at the address indicated in the opening section of this Agreement and to the Agency and Responsible County Department at the addresses shown below.

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommend approval of the License Agreement.
BACKGROUND:
BN Bakersfield, LP will be entering into an improvement agreement with the City of Bakersfield for the construction of public improvements associated with Tract 7093 Phase 3.

Once completed, the public improvements will be maintained by the City of Bakersfield.
The improvement plans have been reviewed and approved by both the City and North Kern Water Storage District.

To address this, North Kern Water Storage District and the City have prepared a license agreement, which must be executed between the City, North Kern Water Storage District, and BN Bakersfield, LP to allow the storm drain line to be built across the canal.
The Development Services Department has reviewed the license agreement and is recommending that the City Council approve the license agreement. This is the final step needed to comply with project requirements and allow the developer to proceed with construction of the improvements.

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the Final Map, Improvement Agreement, and Landscape Agreement.
BACKGROUND:

If these improvements are not completed when the developer, Pacific Crown Holdings, Inc., Jeffrey Young and Fanny Chang Lai, as Trustees under The Jeffrey Yung Lai and Fanny Chang Lai Living Trust Dated August 31, 2015 and JP Heritage Square 1, LLC, wishes to record a portion of the tentative tract map (through a final map), the developer must execute an improvement agreement through which the developer agrees to complete the construction of the improvements within one year of the date the agreement is executed. The City Engineer may extend the time to complete the improvements upon request. Certificates of Occupancy or final inspections will not be allowed for any building within the bounds of the final map until these required improvements are completed and accepted by the City of Bakersfield and a Notice of Completion for the improvements is recorded.
The Public Works Department has completed the review of the final map submitted by the Developer and is recommending that the Council approve the map. In addition, the Improvement Agreement outlining the Developer’s responsibilities for onsite infrastructure improvements, which typically accompanies approval of the final map, is also included and recommended for approval.
The Landscape Improvement Agreement requires the Developer to complete the required landscape and irrigation improvements within the time frame and in the manner outlined in the agreement’s terms. A landscape agreement is required whenever the Developer desires to record their final map before the landscaping improvements are in.

BACKGROUND:
Summit Capital Ventures, Inc. will be entering a improvement agreement with the City of Bakersfield for the construction of public improvements associated with Tract 7468 Phase 2.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
MEETING DATE: July 15, 2026 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Agreements TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Kristina Budak, Water Director
DATE: June 30, 2026
SUBJECT: Water Pipeline Crossing License Agreements with Railroad Companies along Berkshire Road
1. Agreement with BNSF Railroad Company (not to exceed $3,900) and
2. Agreement with Union Pacific Railroad Company (not to exceed $10,000) to allow construction of water pipeline along Berkshire Road (Ward 5) RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommend approval of the Pipeline Crossing License Agreements BACKGROUND:
Lennar is proposing to develop a parcel of land east of a railroad line located immediately to the east of the T-intersection at Berkshire Road and Laredo Drive. As a condition of approval for the project, the developer is required to extend the existing water line eastward across the railroad track. Upon completion, this water pipeline will be owned and maintained by the City of Bakersfield.
To obtain approval of the proposed improvement plans, the developer must secure an easement from both Union Pacific Railroad and BNSF (the “Railroad Companies”). Both companies have drafted Pipeline Crossing License Agreements, which must be executed between the City and Railroad Companies to facilitate the necessary improvements.
The Water Department has reviewed the proposed improvement plans and agreements and recommends that the City Council approve the Pipeline Crossing Agreements. These agreements, which outline the terms for the water pipeline installation, are necessary to ensure compliance with project conditions and to allow the developer to proceed with the required improvements.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact to City. The proposed water line will be bonded for by the developer, and the developer will pay all required fees to BNSF and Union Pacific Railroad for processing the agreement.
COUNCIL GOAL:
Reliable Infrastructure

LICENSOR'S RESERVED RIGHTS
9. Reserved Rights of Use. Licensor excepts and reserves the right, to be exercised by Licensor and any other parties who may obtain written permission or authority from Licensor:
9.1 to maintain, use, operate, repair, replace, modify and relocate any utility, power or communication pipe/lines/cables and appurtenances (other than the Pipeline) and other facilities or structures of like character upon, over, under or across the Premises existing as of the Effective Date;
9.2 to construct, maintain, renew, use, operate, change, modify and relocate any tracks or additional facilities, structures and related appurtenances upon, over, under or across the Premises; or
9.3 to use the Premises in any manner as Licensor in its sole discretion deems appropriate, provided Licensor uses all commercially reasonable efforts to avoid material interference with the use of the Premises by Licensee for the purpose specified in Section 4 above.
10. Right to Require Relocation. If at any time during the term of this License, Licensor desires the use of its rail corridor in such a manner as would, in Licensor's reasonable opinion, be interfered with by the Pipeline, Licensee shall, at its sole expense, within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice from Licensor to such effect, make such changes in the Pipeline as in the sole discretion of Licensor may be necessary to avoid interference with the proposed use of Licensor's rail corridor, including, without limitation, the relocation of the Pipeline, or the construction of a new pipeline to replace the Pipeline.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee agrees to make all emergency changes and minor adjustments, as determined by Licensor in its sole discretion, to the Pipeline promptly upon Licensor's request.

11.4 Any contractors or subcontractors performing work on the Pipeline or entering the Premises on behalf of Licensee shall be deemed servants and agents of Licensee for purposes of this License.
11.5 Under no conditions shall Licensee be permitted to conduct any tests, investigations or any other activity using mechanized equipment and/or machinery, or place or store any mechanized equipment, tools or other materials, within twenty-five (25) feet of the centerline of any railroad track on the Premises unless Licensee has obtained prior written approval from Licensor.
Licensee shall, at its sole cost and expense, perform all activities on and about the Premises, including without limitation all construction and maintenance of the Pipeline, in such a manner and of such materials as not at any time to endanger or interfere with (i) the existence or use of present or future tracks, roadbeds, or property of Licensor, (ii) the safe operation and activities of Licensor or existing third parties, or (iii) the rights or interests of third parties. If ordered to cease using the Premises at any time by Licensor's personnel due to any hazardous condition, Licensee shall immediately do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing right of Licensor, the parties agree that Licensor has no duty or obligation to monitor Licensee's use of the Premises to determine the safe nature thereof, it being solely Licensee's responsibility to ensure that Licensee's use of the Premises is safe. Neither the exercise nor the failure by Licensor to exercise any rights granted in this Section will alter the liability allocation provided by this License.
11.6 Licensee shall, at its sole cost and expense, construct and maintain the Pipeline in such a manner and of such material that the Pipeline will not at any time endanger or interfere with (i) the existence or use of present or future tracks, roadbeds, or property of Licensor, (ii) the safe operation and activities of Licensor or existing third parties, or (iii) the rights or interests of third parties. The construction of the Pipeline shall be completed within one (1) year of the Effective Date, and any subsequent maintenance shall be completed within one (1) year of initiation. Within fifteen (15) days after completion of the construction of the Pipeline or the performance of any subsequent maintenance thereon, Licensee shall, at Licensee's own cost and expense, restore the Premises to substantially their state as of the Effective Date, unless otherwise approved in advance by Licensor in writing. On or before expiration or termination of this License for any reason, Licensee shall, at its sole cost and expense, surrender the Premises to Licensor pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 24 hereof.
11.7 Licensor may direct one or more of its field engineers or inspectors to observe or inspect the construction and/or maintenance of the Pipeline at any time for compliance with the Drawings and Specifications and Legal Requirements (defined below). Licensee shall reimburse Licensor for the cost of such observation or inspection related services pursuant to Section 8. If ordered at any time to halt construction or maintenance of the Pipeline by Licensor's personnel due to non-compliance with the Drawings and Specifications or any other hazardous condition, Licensee shall immediately do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing right of Licensor, the parties agree that Licensor has no duty or obligation to observe or inspect, or to halt work on, the Pipeline, it being solely Licensee's responsibility to ensure that the Pipeline is constructed and maintained in strict accordance with the Drawings and Specifications and in a safe and workmanlike manner in compliance with all terms hereof. Neither the exercise of, nor the failure by Licensor to exercise, any right granted by this Section will alter in any way the liability allocation provided by this License. If at any time Licensee shall, in the sole judgment of Licensor, fail to properly perform its obligations under this Section 11, Licensor may, at its option and at Licensee's sole expense, arrange for the performance of such work as it deems necessary for the safety of its operations and activities. Licensee shall promptly reimburse Licensor for all costs and expenses of such work, pursuant to the terms of Section 8. Licensor's failure to perform any obligations of Licensee shall not alter the liability allocation hereunder.
12. Boring and Excavation.
12.1 Prior to Licensee conducting any boring, excavation, or similar work on or about any portion of the Premises, Licensee shall contact the applicable State's call-before-you-dig utility location service to have 3rd parties mark the location of utilities. Licensee shall explore the proposed location for such work with hand tools to a depth of at least three (3) feet below the surface of the Docusign Envelope ID: BC11689C-273E-4271-AC00-AA81C78E9B1A Tracking #26W-28169/BF-20627301
- 4 - Form 424; Rev. 20200605
ground to determine whether pipelines or other structures exist below the surface, provided, however, that in lieu of the foregoing hand-tool exploration, Licensee shall have the right to use suitable detection equipment or other generally accepted industry practice (e.g., consulting with the United States Infrastructure Corporation) to determine the existence or location of pipelines and other subsurface structures prior to drilling or excavating with mechanized equipment.
Licensee shall request information from Licensor concerning the existence and approximate location of Licensor's underground lines, utilities, and pipelines at or near the vicinity of the proposed Pipeline by contacting Licensor's Telecommunications Helpdesk, currently at 1-800- 533-2891 (option1, then option 7), at least ten (10) business days prior to installation of the Pipeline. Upon receiving Licensee's timely request, Licensor will provide Licensee with the information Licensor has in its possession regarding any existing underground lines, utilities, and pipelines at or near the vicinity of the proposed Pipeline and, if applicable, identify the location of such lines on the Premises pursuant to Licensor's standard procedures. Licensor does not warrant the accuracy or completeness of information relating to subsurface conditions of the Premises and Licensee's operations will be subject at all times to the liability provisions herein.
12.2 For all bores greater than 26-inch diameter and at a depth less than 10.0 feet below bottom of rail, a soil investigation must be performed by Licensee and reviewed by Licensor prior to construction. This study is to determine if granular material is present, and to prevent subsidence during the installation process. If the investigation determines in Licensor's reasonable opinion that granular material is present, Licensor may select a new location for Licensee's use, or may require Licensee to furnish for Licensor's review and approval, in Licensor's sole discretion, a remedial plan to deal with the granular material. Once Licensor has approved any such remedial plan in writing, Licensee shall, at Licensee's sole cost and expense, carry out the approved plan in accordance with all terms thereof and hereof.
12.3 No wells shall be installed without prior written approval from Licensor.
12.4 Any open hole, boring, or well constructed on the Premises by Licensee shall be safely covered and secured at all times when Licensee is not working in the actual vicinity thereof. Following completion of that portion of the work, all holes or borings constructed on the Premises by Licensee shall be:
12.4.1 filled in to surrounding ground level with compacted bentonite grout; or
12.4.2 otherwise secured or retired in accordance with any applicable Legal Requirement. No excavated materials may remain on Licensor's property for more than ten (10) days, but must be properly disposed of by Licensee in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements.

15.6.5 Prior to entering the Premises or commencing any work related to the installation or subsequent maintenance of the Pipeline, Licensee shall furnish to Licensor an acceptable certificate(s) of insurance from an authorized representative evidencing the required coverage(s), endorsements, and amendments.
15.6.6 Licensee shall notify BNSF in writing at least 30 days prior to any cancellation, nonrenewal, substitution or material alteration of any insurance requirement.
15.6.7 Any insurance policy shall be written by a reputable insurance company acceptable to Licensor or with a current Best's Guide Rating of A- and Class VII or better, and authorized to do business in the state(s) in which the service is to be provided.
15.6.8 If the coverage provided by any of the insurance policies required by this agreement is purchased on a "claims made" basis, Licensee hereby agrees to maintain coverage in force for a minimum of three years after expiration, cancellation or termination of this agreement.
15.6.9 Licensee agrees to provide evidence to Licensor that it has the required coverage in place at least annually or in the event of a renewal or material change of coverage
15.6.10 Licensee represents that this License has been thoroughly reviewed by Licensee's insurance agent(s)/broker(s), and that Licensee has instructed them to procure the insurance coverage required by this License.
15.6.11 Not more frequently than once every five years, Licensor may, at its discretion, reasonably modify the insurance requirements to reflect the then-current risk management practices in the railroad industry and underwriting practices in the insurance industry.
15.6.12 If Licensee will subcontract any portion of the operation, Licensee shall require that the subcontractor provide and maintain insurance coverage(s) as set forth herein, naming Licensor as an additional insured. In addition, Licensee shall require that the subcontractor shall release, defend and indemnify Licensee to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as Licensee is required to release, defend and indemnify Licensor under this agreement.
15.6.13 Failure to provide evidence as required by this section shall entitle, but not require, Licensor to terminate this License immediately. Acceptance of a certificate that does not comply with this section shall not operate as a waiver of Licensee's obligations hereunder.
15.6.14 The fact that Licensee obtains insurance (including, without limitation, self-insurance) shall not release or diminish Licensee’s liabilities or obligations including, without limitation, the liabilities and obligations under the indemnity provisions of the License.
Damages recoverable by Licensor shall not be limited by the amount of the required insurance coverage.
15.6.15 In the event of a claim or lawsuit involving BNSF arising out of this Agreement, Licensee will make the policy covering such claims or lawsuits available to BNSF.

15.6.16 If Licensee maintains broader coverage and/or higher limits than the minimum requirements in this Agreement, BNSF requires and shall be entitled to the broader coverage and/or the higher limits. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to BNSF.
15.6.17 These insurance provisions are intended to be a separate and distinct obligation on the part of the Licensee. Therefore, these provisions shall be enforceable and Licensee shall be bound thereby regardless of whether or not indemnity provisions are determined to be enforceable in the jurisdiction in which the work or services are performed under this License.
15.6.18 For purposes of this Section 15, Licensor shall mean "Burlington Northern Santa Fe, LLC", "BNSF Railway Company" and the subsidiaries, successors, assigns and affiliates of each.

16.4 Licensee shall either require that the initial stated term of each such Rights be for a period that does not expire, in accordance with its ordinary terms, prior to the last day of the term of this License or, if the initial stated term of any such Right expires in accordance with its ordinary terms on a date earlier than the last day of the term of this License, Licensee shall, at its cost, exercise any renewal rights thereunder, or otherwise acquire such extensions, additions and/or replacements as may be necessary, in order to cause the stated term thereof to be continued until a date that is not earlier than the last day of the term of this License.
16.5 Upon the expiration or termination of any Right that is necessary in order for Licensee to own, operate or use the Pipeline in accordance with the terms and conditions of this License, this License thereby shall automatically expire upon such expiration or termination of the Right.

defined by Environmental Laws on the Premises. Licensee shall not release or suffer the release of oil or Hazardous Materials (as defined below) on or about the Premises.
17.2 Except as specifically set forth in Section 4 of this License, Licensee covenants that it will not handle or transport Hazardous Materials through the Pipeline or on Licensor's property. Upon request by Licensor, Licensee agrees to furnish Licensor with proof, satisfactory to Licensor, that Licensee is in compliance with the provisions of this Section 17.2.
17.3 Licensee shall give Licensor immediate notice to Licensor's Resource Operations Center at (800) 832-5452 of any known (i) release of Hazardous Materials on, from, or affecting the Premises, (ii) violation of Environmental Laws, or (iii) inspection or inquiry by governmental authorities charged with enforcing Environmental Laws with respect to Licensee's use of the Premises. Licensee shall use its best efforts to immediately respond to any release on, from, or affecting the Premises.
Licensee also shall give Licensor prompt notice of all measures undertaken on behalf of Licensee to investigate, remediate, respond to or otherwise cure such release or violation.
17.4 If Licensor has notice from Licensee or otherwise of a release or violation of Environmental Laws arising in any way with respect to the Pipeline which occurred or may occur during the term of this License, Licensor may require Licensee, at Licensee's sole risk and expense, to take timely measures to investigate, remediate, respond to or otherwise cure such release or violation affecting the Premises or Licensor's right-of-way.
17.5 Licensee shall immediately report to Licensor’s Resource Operations Center at (800) 832-5452 any conditions or activities upon the Premises known to Licensee which create a risk of harm to persons, property or the environment and shall take all reasonable actions necessary to prevent injury to persons, property, or the environment arising out of such conditions or activities; provided, however, that Licensee's reporting to Licensor shall not relieve Licensee of any obligation whatsoever imposed on it by this License. Licensee shall promptly respond to Licensor's request for information regarding said conditions or activities.
17.6 During the term of this License, Licensor may, at Licensor's option, require Licensee to conduct an environmental audit, including but not limited to sampling, of the Premises through an environmental consulting engineer acceptable to Licensor, at Licensee's sole cost and expense, to determine if any noncompliance or environmental damage to the Premises has occurred during occupancy thereof by Licensee. The audit shall be conducted to Licensor's satisfaction and a copy of the audit report shall promptly be provided to Licensor for its review. Licensee shall pay all expenses for any remedial or corrective action that may be required as a result of said audit to correct any noncompliance or environmental damage, and Licensee shall diligently pursue and complete all necessary work prior to termination of this License.

17.7 Notwithstanding anything in this Section 17, the parties agree that Licensor has no duty or obligation to monitor Licensee's use of the Premises to determine Licensee’s compliance with Environmental Laws, it being solely Licensee's responsibility to ensure that Licensee's use of the Premises is compliant. Neither the exercise nor the failure by Licensor to exercise any rights granted in this Section will alter the liability allocation provided by this License.

THIS LICENSE SHALL NOT RUN WITH THE
LAND WITHOUT THE EXPRESS WRITTEN CONSENT OF LICENSOR, SUCH CONSENT TO BE IN LICENSOR'S SOLE DISCRETION.

The provisions of this Section 26.3 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this License.
26.4 Licensor shall have the right to transfer and assign, in whole or in part, all of its rights and obligations under this License, and upon any such transfer or assignment, Licensor shall be released from any further obligations hereunder, and Licensee agrees to look solely to the successor in interest of Licensor for the performance of such obligations.

Upon receipt of your executed permit, you
will receive an email from Wilson and
Company (BNSF's Scheduling Agent) with
important information about how to
schedule required Inspector and Roadway
Worker In Charge (RWIC) resources and a
link to an online form which requests an
estimated number of construction days
requiring access to BNSF ROW and
relevant licensee, contractor, and payment
information.
Upon submittal, this information will be
sent to Wilson & Company directly, and a
copy will be sent to the email address
provided for confirmation.
The information collected from the online
form will be used to generate an invoice for
prepayment of Inspector and RWIC
services.
Note that your permit must be fully
executed by licensee and BNSF before
Wilson & Company can begin the invoicing
and scheduling process.
Payment is to be sent to Wilson &
Company, Inc.
Payment options include:
• EFT
• Check
• Credit Card (a 3.29% credit fee charge will
be added as a passthrough charge with no
markup as a convenience to the payee)
Payment instructions such as ACH
information and an address for check
payment will be sent with the invoice.
Payments must be confirmed before
scheduling services are rendered.
All implementation fees charged on the
invoice are non-refundable and will not be
subject to reimbursement under any
circumstances
The BNSFScheduling Agent will work with
you to schedule inspection and/or RWIC
services as applicable for the period that
construction will occur on, over, or under
BNSF ROW.
A minimum lead time of 15 days from
confirmation of payment and/or scheduled
start date is required to give sufficient
notice to BNSF Division personnel.
The BNSFScheduling Agent will schedule
inspection and/or RWIC services as
required under your agreement, provide
required notification to BNSF division
personnel and coordinate BNSF signal and
telecom location services prior to
construction. A project start notification
will be sent to BNSF, contractor, and
licensee contacts as applicable
documenting the completion of
notification of all BNSF and project
stakeholders.
Inspectors and RWIC are required for the
duration of construction in which access is
required on, over, or under BNSF ROW. This
includes bores underneath BNSF tracks in
which bore pits are located outside BNSF
ROW limits until the casing/conduit is fully
installed as permitted. Also, an inspector and
possibly RWIC must be present to verify the
final installation of carry pipe inside of the
casing, installation of wire/cable inside of
conduit, and any abandonment associated
with the permit. Inspection and RWIC service
fees plus mobilization costs will be charged if
the initial start date is canceled with less than
72 hours notice.
Once the project starts, a full day of
inspection and RWIC service fees plus
mobilization costs will be charged if 24 hours
notice is not given to both inspector and RWIC
personnel of canceled days or installation
completion.
Should additional construction days be
necessary, an additional invoice will be
issued and must be settled within two days to
ensure the continuation of services.
The BNSF Scheduling Agent will review
Inspector and RWIC Flaggerrecords after
project completion and determine if the
amount that you have prepaid is correct.
If you have exceeded your estimated or
paid days, an invoice will be generated to
reconcile the difference.
If Inspector or RWIC overtime hours (>10
hours/day) were recorded, an invoice will
be generated to reconcile the difference.
If the number of days paid exceeds the
number of days worked, Wilson &
Company will refund the balance back to
the payee.

EXHIBIT B
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Section 1. LIMITATION AND SUBORDINATION OF RIGHTS GRANTED.
A. The foregoing grant is subject and subordinate to the prior and continuing right and obligation of Licensor to use and maintain its entire property including the right and power of Licensor to construct, maintain, repair, renew, use, operate, change, modify or relocate railroad tracks, signal, communication, fiber optics, or other wirelines, pipelines and other facilities upon, along or across any or all parts of its property, all or any of which may be freely done at any time or times by Licensor without liability to Licensee or to any other party for compensation or damages.
B. The foregoing grant is also subject to all outstanding superior rights (including those in favor of licensees and lessees of Railroad Property) and the right of Licensor to renew and extend the same, and is made without covenant of title or for quiet enjoyment. It shall be Licensee's sole obligation to obtain such additional permission, license and grants necessary on account of any such existing rights.
Section 2. ENGINEERING REQUIREMENTS; PERMITS.
A. Licensee's Facilities will be designed, constructed, operated, maintained, repaired, renewed, modified, reconstructed, removed, or abandoned in place on Railroad Property by Licensee or its contractor to Licensor's satisfaction and in strict conformity with: (i) Licensor’s current engineering standards and specifications, including those for shoring and cribbing to protect Licensor's railroad operations and facilities ("UP Specifications"), except for variances approved in advance in writing by Licensor’s Assistant Vice President Engineering – Design or its authorized representative ("UP Engineering Representative"); (ii) such other additional safety standards as Licensor, in its sole discretion, elects to require, including, without limitation, American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association ("AREMA") standards and guidelines (collectively, "UP Additional Requirements"); and (iii) all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including any applicable Federal Railroad Administration and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission regulations and enactments (collectively, "Laws"). If there is any conflict between UP Specifications, UP Additional Requirements, and Laws, the most restrictive will apply.
B. Licensee shall keep the soil over Licensee's Facilities thoroughly compacted, and maintain the grade over and around Licensee's Facilities even with the surface of the adjacent ground.
C. If needed, Licensee shall secure, at Licensee's sole cost and expense, any and all necessary permits required to perform any work on Licensee's Facilities.
Section 3. NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT OF WORK; EMERGENCIES.
A. Licensee and its contractors are strictly prohibited from commencing any work associated with Licensee's Facilities without Licensor's written approval that the work will be in strict compliance with the "ENGINEERING REQUIREMENTS; PERMITS" Section of this Exhibit B. Upon Licensor's approval, Licensee shall contact both of Licensor's field representatives ("Licensor's Field Representatives") at least ten (10) days before commencement of any work on Licensee's Facilities.
B. Licensee shall not commence any work until: (1) Licensor has determined whether flagging or other special protective or safety measures ("Safety Measures") are required for performance of the work pursuant to the "FLAGGING" Section of this Exhibit B and provided Licensee written Union Pacific Railroad Real Estate 1400 Douglas Street Stop 1690 Omaha, Nebraska 68179-1690 fx. (402) 501-0340 authorization to commence work; and (2) Licensee has complied with the "PROTECTION OF FIBER OPTIC CABLE SYSTEMS" Section of this Exhibit B.
C. If, at any time, an emergency arises involving Licensee's Facilities, Licensee or its contractor shall immediately contact Licensor's Response Management Communications Center at (888) 877-7267.
Section 4. FLAGGING.
A. Following Licensee's notice to Licensor's Field Representatives required under the "NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT OF WORK; EMERGENCIES" Section of this Exhibit B, Licensor shall inform Licensee if Safety Measures are required for performance of the work by Licensee or its contractor on Railroad Property. If Safety Measures are required, no work of any kind may be performed by Licensee or its contractor(s) until arrangements for the Safety Measures have been made and scheduled. If no Safety Measures are required, Licensor will give Licensee written authorization to commence work.
B. If any Safety Measures are performed or provided by Licensor, including but not limited to flagging, Licensor shall bill Licensee for such expenses incurred by Licensor, unless Licensor and a federal, state, or local governmental entity have agreed that Licensor is to bill such expenses to the federal, state, or local governmental entity. Additional information regarding the submission of such expenses by Licensor and payment thereof by Licensee can be found in the "LICENSEE’S PAYMENT OF EXPENSES" Section of this Exhibit B. If Licensor performs any Safety Measures, Licensee agrees that Licensee is not relieved of any of responsibilities or liabilities set forth in this Agreement.
C. For flagging, the rate of pay per hour for each flagger will be the prevailing hourly rate in effect for an eight-hour day for the class of flagmen used during regularly assigned hours and overtime in accordance with Labor Agreements and Schedules in effect at the time the work is performed. In addition to the cost of such labor, a composite charge for vacation, holiday, health and welfare, supplemental sickness, Railroad Retirement and unemployment compensation, supplemental pension, Employees Liability and Property Damage, and Administration will be included, computed on actual payroll. The composite charge will be the prevailing composite charge in effect at the time the work is performed. One and one-half times the current hourly rate is paid for overtime, Saturdays and Sundays, and two and one-half times current hourly rate for holidays. Wage rates are subject to change, at any time, by law or by agreement between Licensor and its employees, and may be retroactive as a result of negotiations or a ruling of an authorized governmental agency. Additional charges on labor are also subject to change. If the wage rate or additional charges are changed, Licensee (or the governmental entity, as applicable) shall pay on the basis of the new rates and charges.
D. Reimbursement to Licensor will be required covering the full eight-hour day during which any flagger is furnished, unless the flagger can be assigned to other railroad work during a portion of such day, in which event reimbursement will not be required for the portion of the day during which the flagger is engaged in other railroad work. Reimbursement will also be required for any day not actually worked by the flaggers following the flaggers' assignment to work on the project for which Licensor is required to pay the flaggers and which could not reasonably be avoided by Licensor by assignment of such flaggers to other work, even though Licensee may not be working during such time.
When it becomes necessary for Licensor to bulletin and assign an employee to a flagging position in compliance with union collective bargaining agreements, Licensee must provide Licensor a minimum of five (5) days notice prior to the cessation of the need for a flagger. If five (5) days notice of cessation is not given, Licensee will still be required to pay flagging charges for the days the flagger was scheduled, even though flagging is no longer required for that period. An additional ten (10) days notice must then be given to Licensor if flagging services are needed again after such five day cessation notice has been given to Licensor.
Union Pacific Railroad Real Estate 1400 Douglas Street Stop 1690 Omaha, Nebraska 68179-1690 fx. (402) 501-0340 Section 5. SAFETY.
A. Safety of personnel, property, rail operations and the public is of paramount importance in the prosecution of any work on Railroad Property performed by Licensee or its contractor, and takes precedence over any work on Licensee's Facilities to be performed Licensee or its contractors. Licensee shall be responsible for initiating, maintaining and supervising all safety operations and programs in connection with any work on Licensee's Facilities. Licensee and its contractor shall, at a minimum comply, with Licensor's then current safety standards located at the below web address ("Licensor's Safety Standards") to ensure uniformity with the safety standards followed by Licensor's own forces.
As a part of Licensee's safety responsibilities, Licensee shall notify Licensor if it determines that any of Licensor's Safety Standards are contrary to good safety practices. Licensee and its contractor shall furnish copies of Licensor's Safety Standards to each of its employees before they enter Railroad Property.
Union Pacific Current Safety Requirements
B. Licensee shall keep the job site on Railroad Property free from safety and health hazards and ensure that their employees are competent and adequately trained in all safety and health aspects of the work.
C. Licensee represents and warrants that all parts of Licensee's Facilities within and outside of the limits of Railroad Property will not interfere whatsoever with the constant, continuous, and uninterrupted use of the tracks, property, and facilities of Licensor, and nothing shall be done or suffered to be done by Licensee at any time that would in any manner impair the safety thereof.
D. Licensor's operations and work performed by Licensor’s personnel may cause delays in Licensee's or its contractor's work on Licensee's Facilities. Licensee accepts this risk and agrees that Licensor shall have no liability to Licensee or any other person or entity for any such delays. Licensee must coordinate any work on Railroad Property by Licensee or any third party with Licensor's Field Representatives in strict compliance with the "NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT OF WORK; EMERGENCIES" Section of this Exhibit B.
E. Licensor shall have the right, if it so elects, to provide any support it deems necessary for the safety of Licensor's operations and trackage during Licensee's or its contractor's construction, maintenance, repair, renewal, modification, relocation, reconstruction, or removal of Licensee's Facilities. In the event Licensor provides such support, Licensor shall invoice Licensee, and Licensee shall pay Licensor as set forth in the "LICENSEE'S PAYMENT OF EXPENSES" Section of this Exhibit B.
F. Licensee may use unmanned aircraft systems ("UAS") to inspect Licensee's Facilities only upon the prior authorization from and under the direction of Licensor's Field Representatives.
Licensee represents and warrants that its use of UAS on Railroad Property will comply with Licensor's then-current Unmanned Aerial Systems Policy and all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including any applicable Federal Aviation Administration regulations and enactments pertaining to UAS.
Section 6. PROTECTION OF FIBER OPTIC CABLE SYSTEMS.
Fiber optic cable systems may be buried on Railroad Property. Protection of the fiber optic cable systems is of extreme importance since any break could disrupt service to users resulting in business interruption and loss of revenue and profits. In addition to the notifications required under the "NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT OF WORK; EMERGENCIES" Section of this Exhibit B, Licensee shall visit up.com/CBUD to complete and submit the required form to determine if fiber optic cable is buried anywhere on Railroad Property to be used by Licensee. If it is, Licensee shall telephone the telecommunications company(ies) involved, and arrange for a cable locator, make arrangements for relocation or other protection of the fiber optic cable, all at Licensee’s expense, and will not commence any work on Railroad Property until all such protection or relocation has been completed.
Union Pacific Railroad Real Estate 1400 Douglas Street Stop 1690 Omaha, Nebraska 68179-1690 fx. (402) 501-0340 Section 7. LICENSEE'S PAYMENT OF EXPENSES.
A. Licensee shall bear the entire cost and expense of the design, construction, maintenance, modification, reconstruction, repair, renewal, revision, relocation, or removal of Licensee's Facilities.
B. Licensee shall fully pay for all materials joined, affixed to and labor performed on Railroad Property in connection with the construction, maintenance, modification, reconstruction, repair, renewal, revision, relocation, or removal of Licensee's Facilities, and shall not permit or suffer any mechanic’s or materialman’s lien of any kind or nature to be enforced against the property for any work done or materials furnished thereon at the instance or request or on behalf of Licensee. Licensee shall promptly pay or discharge all taxes, charges, and assessments levied upon, in respect to, or on account of Licensee's Facilities, to prevent the same from becoming a charge or lien upon any property of Licensor, and so that the taxes, charges, and assessments levied upon or in respect to such property shall not be increased because of the location, construction, or maintenance of Licensee's Facilities or any improvement, appliance, or fixture connected therewith placed upon such property, or on account of Licensee’s interest therein. Where such tax, charge, or assessment may not be separately made or assessed to Licensee but shall be included in the assessment of the property of Licensor, then Licensee shall pay to Licensor an equitable proportion of such taxes determined by the value of Licensee’s property upon property of Licensor as compared with the entire value of such property.
C. As set forth in the "FLAGGING" Section of this Exhibit B, Licensor shall have the right, if it so elects, to provide any Safety Measures Licensor deems necessary for the safety of Licensor's operations and trackage during Licensee's or its contractor's construction, maintenance, modification, reconstruction, repair, renewal, revision, relocation, or removal of Licensee's Facilities, including, but not limited to supervision, inspection, and flagging services. In the event Licensor provides such Safety Measures, Licensor shall submit an itemized invoice to Licensee's notice recipient listed in the "NOTICES" Article of this Agreement. Licensee shall pay to Licensor the total amount listed on such invoice within thirty (30) days of Licensee's receipt of such invoice.
Section 8. MODIFICATIONS TO LICENSEE'S FACILITIES.
A. This grant is subject to Licensor's safe and efficient operation of its railroad, and continued use and improvement of Railroad Property (collectively, "Railroad's Use"). Accordingly, Licensee shall, at its sole cost and expense, modify, reconstruct, repair, renew, revise, relocate, or remove (individually, "Modification", or collectively, "Modifications") all or any portion of Licensee's Facilities as Licensor may designate or identify, in its sole discretion, in the furtherance of Railroad's Use.
B. Upon any Modification of all or any portion of Licensee's Facilities to another location on Railroad Property, Licensor and Licensee shall execute a Supplemental Agreement to this Pipeline Agreement to document the Modification(s) to Licensee's Facilities on Railroad Property. If the Modifications result in Licensee's Facilities moving off of Railroad Property, this Agreement will terminate upon Licensee's completion of such Modification(s) and all requirements contained within the "TERMINATION; REMOVAL OF LICENSEE’S FACILITIES" Section of this Exhibit B. Any such Modification(s) off of Railroad Property will not release Licensee from any liability or other obligation of Licensee arising prior to and upon completion of any such Modifications to the Licensee's Facilities.
Section 9. RESTORATION OF RAILROAD PROPERTY.
In the event Licensee, in any manner moves or disturbs any property of Licensor in connection with the construction, maintenance, modification, reconstruction, repair, renewal, revision, relocation, or removal of Licensee's Facilities, then, Licensee shall, as soon as possible and at Licensee’s sole cost Union Pacific Railroad Real Estate 1400 Douglas Street Stop 1690 Omaha, Nebraska 68179-1690 fx. (402) 501-0340 and expense, restore Licensor’s property to the same condition as the same were before such property was moved or disturbed.
