Subject: Revise Job Class Specifications – Communications Specialist
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution (1) revising the Communications Specialist job class specifications to allow Charter departments and offices to utilize the classification and (2) providing a 5% differential to Communication Specialists assigned to the City Manager’s Office.
FISCAL IMPACT
The modification will add a 5% differential to the base pay of Communications Specialists assigned to the City Manager’s Office.
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
Communications Specialists – who are housed in the City Manager’s Office and report to the Communications Director – perform professional communication duties to facilitate dissemination of information to the public and media. Charter departments and offices, including the Office of the Director of Police Accountability, Library, and Rent Board, have also identified a need for professional public communication support.
Expanding the job class to include Charter departments and offices would allow them to hire and oversee employees who perform this work. Adding a 5% differential for Communications Specialists assigned to the City Manager’s Office would recognize the Citywide breadth of their duties, as opposed to department-specific communications.
BACKGROUND
The proposed modifications to the class specifications were unanimously approved by the Personnel Board.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
There are no identifiable environmental effects or opportunities associated with the subject of this report.

Submitted by: Aram Kouyoumdjian, Director of Human Resources Subject: Contract No. 32400151 Amendment: SDR Consulting for Classification and Compensation Services
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an amendment to Contract No. 32400151 with SDR Consulting for classification and compensation services to cover the period of February 26, 2023 through June 30, 2026, for a total cost not to exceed $150,000.
FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
Funding for the contract is budgeted in the Human Resources Department through its contractual services allocations.
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
Human Resources Analysts in the HR Department are a small cadre entrusted with assignments spanning recruitment, exams, employee transactions, benefits, and workers’ compensation, leaving little capacity for tasks related to classification and compensation (“class and comp”), which entails creating new job classifications (or updating them whenever necessary), performing salary surveys, and conducting desk audits.

SDR Consulting has consistently delivered a high-caliber work product to the City.
BACKGROUND
As part of its reorganization over the last two years, the HR Department has engaged a pair of independent consultants – one of them being SDR Consulting – to ensure timely delivery of the City’s “class and comp” needs.

Submitted by: Jordan Klein, Director, Planning and Development Department Subject: Accept Grant Funds from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Zero Codes Award and contract with City and County of San Francisco to develop, implement, and enforce Building Performance Standards
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager or their designee to accept the U.S.
Department of Energy’s Assistance for adoption of the “Latest and Zero Building Energy Codes” in the amount of $5,729,943, and negotiate and execute a contract and any amendments, extensions, or change orders with City and County of San Francisco, to develop Building Performance Standards, for the duration of January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2033.
FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
There is no match requirement or leveraging of other funds required to receive this grant award. The total funding available for this project is $5,729,943, which will be deposited into Fund 336 (One-Time-Grant). The grant will fund City staffing, including a new Community Services Specialist III position, to manage Building Performance Standards (BPS) development and implementation, consultant fees for technical assistance and equitable development of BPS with the community, software improvements, supportive programs to help equity priority buildings comply with the new BPS requirements, and other eligible expenses.
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has jointly awarded the City of Berkeley and the City and County of San Francisco $19.9 million over nine years to develop, implement, and enforce BPS for large multifamily and commercial buildings. Of the total amount, the City of Berkeley will receive $5,729,944 over the grant period. The City and County of San Francisco will serve as the prime recipient for this funding opportunity, and the City of Berkeley will be a subrecipient to the City and County of San Francisco.
Accept Grant Funds from U.S. Department of Energy’s Zero Codes Award CONSENT CALENDAR and contract with the City and County of San Francisco December 10, 2024
The DOE’s Latest and Zero Building Energy Codes award1, a program created under the Inflation Reduction Act, provides funding to cities and states to develop, implement, and enforce the latest building energy codes, zero energy building codes, or equivalents. These include Building Performance Standards, which are policies that require existing buildings to meet certain performance levels over time. They provide building owners with discrete energy and/or greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets that align with a jurisdiction’s climate action goals, allowing building owners to plan and incorporate upgrades within their building’s life cycle. The DOE’s Zero Codes funding will support Berkeley’s efforts to develop a local BPS to help reach climate action goals and equitably decarbonize existing buildings. The grant would require Berkeley to develop and adopt a BPS policy by the end of 2027.
The primary goals of the award are:
1. Adopt, implement, and enforce BPS in Berkeley and San Francisco
2. Work with community partners to ensure equity priority building compliance with the BPS requirements
3. Collaboratively develop a model BPS based on San Francisco and Berkeley’s efforts that could be adopted by cities across the Bay Area
4. Leverage existing regional expertise and infrastructure to support region-wide readiness for BPS adoption
This grant provides funding to conduct robust community engagement around the development of the BPS requirements and establish new supportive programs to ensure equity priority buildings have the necessary support to achieve future adopted BPS requirements. Equity priority buildings are likely to include building owners with less access to capital and less advanced building energy management systems, such as affordable housing, non-profits, religious worship, and public assembly buildings.
The grant will also support the development of a model BPS policy and new BPS resources, including case studies, retrofit guides, example building stock analyses, software configuration templates, and/or shared software resources, that could enable other Bay Area cities to work toward BPS adoption.
The work that will be completed under this grant is a Strategic Plan Priority Project, advancing the City’s goals to be a global leader in addressing climate change, advancing environmental justice, and protecting the environment.
BACKGROUND
In 2019, the Berkeley City Council declared a Climate Emergency and proposed a goal of becoming Fossil Fuel-Free City. In 2021, the Council adopted a resolution to join the 1 https://www.energy.gov/articles/biden-harris-administration-announces-530-million-building-energy-efficiency- and
Accept Grant Funds from U.S. Department of Energy’s Zero Codes Award CONSENT CALENDAR and contract with the City and County of San Francisco December 10, 2024
Cities Race to Zero Campaign, committing to reduce emissions 60.5% from 2018 levels by 2030. To reach these goals, further emissions reduction is needed from Berkeley’s building sector, which accounts for 43% of Berkeley’s greenhouse gas emissions.
In 2020, Berkeley City Council amended Berkeley’s Building Emissions Saving Ordinance (BESO), directing staff to develop energy upgrade requirements, such as Building Performance Standards, for Council’s consideration. Additionally, Berkeley’s Existing Building Electrification Strategy (BEBES) identified Building Performance Standards as a primary policy strategy to equitably decarbonize Berkeley’s existing buildings.
In early 2023, Berkeley joined the National Building Performance Standard Coalition to accelerate an equitable transition off fossil fuels. By joining the Coalition, Berkeley committed to inclusively design and implement equitable Building Performance Standards. The State of California also joined the National BPS coalition and, through Senate Bill 48, the California Energy Commission will develop a BPS strategy by July, 1 2026. Similar to the State’s energy benchmarking program, local BPS policies would be exempt from the State’s BPS requirements.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
Building Performance Standards will support Berkeley’s efforts to ensure a just transition and achieve its climate action goals by developing equitable energy and/or greenhouse emissions reduction targets for Berkeley’s large buildings with the community. These targets allow building owners to plan and incorporate upgrades within their building’s lifecycle. BPS requirements will also help Berkeley become a fossil fuel free city and community by transitioning Berkeley’s large buildings away from fossil fuels to clean, renewable electricity.
RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
Accepting this grant funding would allow the City to advance necessary work to implement Berkeley’s Existing Building Electrification Strategy by creating Building Performance Standards for Berkeley’s large buildings. This grant would also provide funding to support equity priority buildings in achieving the new requirements.
Acceptance of this grant funding would not commit the City to any specific policy outcome; it commits the City to develop BPS consistent with the City’s goal to be net zero emissions by 2045, without dictating the specific content of the standards themselves. The BPS would be a product of robust community engagement and would require future adoption by City Council.

San Francisco Awarded $14 Million Federal Grant to
Advance BuildingElectrification Projects
San Francisco, in partnership with the City of Berkeley, receives funds to modernize and cut carbon emissions in large buildings as part of the historic Biden-Harris historic Ination Reduction Act
September 13, 2024
San Francisco, CA – San Francisco and the City of Berkeley have been awarded a grant from the US Department of Energy $19.9 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to transform and modernize large buildings, including commercial and multi-family buildings. The regional grant, $14.3 million ofwhich will go to San Francisco, will help develop and implement equitable building performance standards (BPS) that will electrify buildings and eliminate emissions, and help move the BayArea to a more resilient and equitable all-electric future.
Mayor London N. Breed has worked to expand access to clean and a ordable electricityfor residents across San Francisco. Under her leadership, the City has advanced programs that reduce carbon emissions and promote equitable access to clean energy, including discounts for 100% renewable energyfor low-income customers and rebates to replace fossil fuel-powered appliances. This grant will help San Francisco achieve Mayor Breed’s goal of eliminating emissions from all buildings by 2040. “San Francisco has been a leader in pioneering bold climate solutions, reducing emissions by nearly 50% since 1990,” said San Francisco Mayor London N. Breed. “Our Climate Action Plan sets out the path to continue to this work, and this grant will set the stage for electrifying San Francisco, Berkeley, and cities across the BayArea, bringing us closerto a net zero emissions future. I want to thank President Biden 中文
Menu
Attachment 2
and Vice President Harris for their continued investment towards a stronger, better future for San Francisco.”
Building Performance Standards (BPS) are designed to reduce the carbon impact of communities by requiring existing buildings to meet energy and/or greenhouse gas emissions-based performance targets. San Francisco and Berkeley are one of 19 state and local governments awarded the grant to implement BPS, modernizing buildings to reduce emissions, improve health outcomes, and enhance climate resilience. The award and amount from the DOE is preliminary, subject to negotiations and nal approval by the federal government. Once complete, the grant will run for a total of nine years. “We’re thrilled to be awarded this grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Energy to develop building performance standards with our community and help move our large buildings to a more climate friendly future,” said
City of Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguín. “In early 2023, Berkeley joined the National Building Performance Standard Coalition to accelerate an equitable transition o fossil fuels.
Alongside San Francisco, we look forward to creating a model policy that could be scaled throughout the region.”
The cities of San Francisco and Berkeley will collaborate with community partners to help Equity Priority Buildings in disadvantaged communities meet BPS outcomes without undue economic burden. As part of this e ort, they will work with smaller Bay Area jurisdictions to establish a region-wide roadmap for BPS adoption and building decarbonization.
“I am grateful to see our shared vision for greenhouse gas reductions and equitable climate action a rmed by the Department of Energy with their grant award to San Francisco and Berkeley,” said District 8 Supervisor Rafael Mandelman. “San Francisco already has a long history of enacting cleaner building code and building operation requirements than those outlined by the State. These Building Performance Standards will continue to ensure San Francisco is a model for its dedication to innovation, modernization, and equitable climate action.”
San Francisco has long been recognized as a global sustainability leader, with the City recently being recognized as the top U.S. city by the American Council for an Energy E cient Economy (ACEEE) in their 2024 City Clean Energy Scorecard . Through Mayor Breed’s 2021 Climate Action Plan, the San Francisco Environment Department has continued to advance bold building policies and strategies that were informed by their Zero Emission Buildings Task Force–a broad group of labor, tenant, environmental, ownership, technical and municipal stakeholders.
“Reducing pollution from San Francisco’s oldest and largest buildings is a complex challenge that requires broad collaboration. This grant will not only cut emissions locally but also create a blueprint for cities across the nation. Our work will help millions tackle the climate crisis while improving the health outcomes and quality of life for communities nationwide,” said Tyrone Jue, Director of the
San Francisco Environment Department.

On November 30, 2021, City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a Contract Amendment to increase the contract’s not to exceed amount to $600,000 and to extend the contract term through December 31, 2024.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
There are no identifiable environmental sustainability or climate impacts associated with the subject of this report.
RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
Contracted services are required as the City does not have the personnel or expertise to ensure compliance with testing and monitoring of the fire alarm and life safety systems in City buildings.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
None. The City must ensure that its fire alarm and life safety equipment is operational in City facilities to protect both staff and residents. If the City decides to not amend this agreement, the City will potentially need to look into procuring these services with another vendor, which could cause delays in service and increased costs. Public Works is planning to release an RFP for this service in 2025, so this amendment will give the department the necessary time to complete this solicitation.

CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The primary purpose of the Sacramento Street Pedestrian Safety Project is to improve safety for pedestrians and bicyclists crossing Sacramento Street in south Berkeley, in
Contract: Terocons Inc. CONSENT CALENDAR
for Sacramento Street Pedestrian Safety Project December 10, 2024
accordance with the City’s Vision Zero Action Plan which establishes a strategy to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries by 2028 while increasing safe, healthy, and equitable mobility for all. The Sacramento Street Pedestrian Safety Project is intended to reduce collisions caused by driver violation of the pedestrian right of way by making pedestrians more visible as they cross the street and reducing the speed of turning vehicles at crosswalks. Sacramento Street is identified as a high-injury street in the Vision Zero Action Plan and 2020 Pedestrian Plan.
The project parameters include the Sacramento Street corridor from Fairview Street to Oregon Street. The Project will construct the following elements on Sacramento Street:
Median modifications, including pedestrian refuge islands at Oregon Street, Julia Street, Prince Street, and Fairview Street;
Curb ramps at Oregon Street;
Solar-powered Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) installation, including pedestrian push buttons near curb ramps and bicyclist push buttons near curbs, for crossing Sacramento Street at Oregon Street, Prince Street, and Fairview Street; and
Slurry seal and new pavement striping along approximately ½-mile of Sacramento Street, from Fairview Street to Oregon Street.
On October 3, 2024 seven bids were received and opened for construction of the Project, in amounts ranging from $846,642 to $1,539,426. The determination of the low bidder was based on the total price of all bid items, as described in the bid documents.
The low bidder is Terocons Inc., with a bid of $846,642, or $46,642 above the engineer’s estimate of $800,000. Staff have verified that Terocons Inc. is the lowest, responsive and responsible bidder in accordance with the Public Contract Code.
The Living Wage Ordinance does not apply to this project as the Public Works Department’s construction contracts are, pursuant to City policy, subject to State prevailing wage laws. Terocons Inc. has submitted a Certification of Compliance with the Equal Benefits Ordinance. The Community Workforce Agreement applies to this project because the estimated construction cost exceeds $500,000. As a result, the successful bidder and all subcontractors will be required to sign an agreement to be bound by the terms of the Community Workforce Agreement.
Sacramento Street Pedestrian Safety Project is a Strategic Plan Priority Project, advancing our goal to provide state-of-the-art, well-maintained infrastructure, amenities, and facilities.
BACKGROUND
On July 28, 2020, City Council adopted resolution no. 69,525-N.S. authorizing the City Manager to submit a grant application to the California Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) for the amount of up to $250,000, accept the grants awarded, and execute any resultant agreements and amendments. On December 1, 2020 City
Contract: Terocons Inc. CONSENT CALENDAR
for Sacramento Street Pedestrian Safety Project December 10, 2024
Council adopted resolution no. 69,634-N.S., which updated resolution no. 69,525-N.S by identifying local matching funds.
An agreement between the City and Caltrans was executed on August 12, 2021 under contract no 42200002, providing administrative provisions for future Caltrans grants using State funds. $250,000 in HSIP construction funds were allocated to the City on December 21, 2023. A Program Supplemental Agreement (PSA) was executed on May 6, 2024 as contract no. 42200002-1 formalizing this funding.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
The purpose of the Project is to provide safer crossings for pedestrians and bicyclists on Sacramento Street, which will encourage these sustainable modes of transportation.
Increasing walking and biking would help the City comply with the 2009 Berkeley Climate Action Plan Policy 5.a that calls for expanding and improving Berkeley’s pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure. The Climate Action Plan further states that transportation modes such as public transit, walking, and bicycling must become the primary means of fulfilling the City’s mobility needs in order to meet these targets.
RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
The proposed Project components were designed to address pedestrian and bicycle crossing safety needs along Sacramento Street, in accordance with the 2020 Pedestrian Plan and the Vision Zero Action Plan. Furthermore, the Vision Zero Action Plan classifies Sacramento Street as a High-Injury Street in an Equity Priority Area. An Equity Priority Area considers historic data in prioritizing infrastructure projects that remedy systemic inequality. As a whole, the work of this Project is a significant step forward to improve safety at intersection crossings and for people of all ages and abilities to traverse the Sacramento Street corridor more safely by walking or biking.
Approval of the plans and specifications, accepting the bid of Terocons Inc. as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, and authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with Terocons Inc. will keep the Project on schedule in accordance with the grant funding agreement.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
Council could opt not to take the proposed actions at this time and instead defer this item to a future Council agenda. Such a decision would delay the construction of the Project. Delays to the onset of construction could jeopardize successful project delivery as the City currently has the funding to complete the work and a design team on board that can provide continuity through the construction process. Delayed construction may also contribute to increased construction costs due to inflation and the need to revisit design documents to address unforeseen future construction activity or design policy changes.

Subject: Contract No. 32000078 Amendment: DC Electric Group, Inc for On-Call Electrical Services
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to amend Contract No. 32000078 between the City and DC Electric Group, Inc. for supplemental On-Call electrical services to support the Public Works Electrical Unit, increasing the current contract spending authority by $250,000 for a new total not to exceed amount of $725,000.
FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
This is an On-Call Contract; costs are incurred when services are performed. Initial funding is available in FY25 Fund 134 and FY25 Fund 142. Additional funding will be appropriated as part of the FY25 Second Annual Appropriations Ordinance and in future fiscal years as needed.
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The Public Works’ Electrical Unit supports the City’s electrical needs by installing, repairing and replacing electrical wiring and components in City facilities and maintains City assets which rely on electric energy to operate; assets such as Traffic Signals, Pedestrian Crossing Signals, Street Lights, Marina Pier Lights, and Park Lights. Public Works’ Electrical Unit has been utilizing the on-call services of DC Electric Group to help resolve a back log of damaged Traffic Signals and Street Lights as well as to support the Unit with ongoing need for the repair of Traffic Signals and Street Lights damaged by vehicles. Increased contract spending authority is needed to be able to continue repairing damaged assets while also performing preventive maintenance on working assets to ensure community safety.
Amending the DC Electric Contract supports the City’s Strategic Plan Priority of providing state-of-the art, well maintained infrastructure, amenities, and facilities.
BACKGROUND
On November 3, 2016, Public Works issued a Request for Proposals for On-Call Electrical Services to support the Public Works Facilities Electrical Unit (Specification
Contract No. 32000078 Amendment DC Electric CONSENT CALENDAR Group, Inc for On-Call Electrical Service December 10, 2024
No. 16-11076-C.) Four proposals were submitted and two vendors were selected: DC Electric Group and Colombia Electric. On the authority of Resolution Number 68,007- N.S., the City contracted with DC Electric Group on June 1, 2017 and continues to utilize their on-call services to supplement the work of the City’s Electrical Unit.
On July 26, 2022, City Council approved an amendment for a revised not to exceed amount of $175,000 and to extend the contract through June 30, 2025.
On September 19, 2023, City Council approved an amendment for a revised not to exceed amount of $475,000 and to extend the contract through June 30, 2026.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
There are no identified environmental or climate impacts associated with the subject of this report.
RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
DC Electric Group continues to on-call services for the City to support the City’s in- house Electrical Unit in maintaining the City’s critical electrical assets and infrastructure.
Without DC’s services, needed maintenance and repairs would face delays.
Public Works is planning to release a solicitation for Electric Services in 2025, so this amendment gives the department time to complete the RFP process without causing delays or interruptions in service. In addition, the Electrical Unit is in the process of extending offers to hire two electricians to backfill long term vacancies.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
None. Public Works Electrical Unit does not have adequate resources to keep up with the ongoing maintenance and repairs of deployed electrical assets. It also does not have the capacity to provide services to install electrical wiring and components in new or renovated City facilities. Therefore, no alternative actions were considered.

Submitted by: Terrance Davis, Director, Public Works, Director Subject: Contract: Stommel Inc., dba Lehr for Hybrid Police Patrol Vehicles Supplies, Equipment, and Installation Services
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution satisfying bid requirements of the City allowing the City to participate in competitively bid contracts, authorizing the City Manager to enter into contract with Stommel Inc. dba Lehr, for Hybrid Police Patrol vehicle supplies, equipment, and installation services with a contract term from December 15, 2024 to December 15, 2026 for an amount not to exceed $400,000.00.
FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
Funding in the amount of $400,000.00 will be available for FY 2025 in the baseline Public Works Equipment Replacement Fund. Additional funding will be made available and appropriated as needed in future fiscal year budgets.
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The Police Department replaces patrol vehicles on a routine basis. Police Patrol vehicles require specialized equipment and installation. The contract with Stommel Inc. dba Lehr will provide supplies, equipment, and installation services for twenty-one (21) vehicles that have been previously purchased by the City. The City’s competitive bidding requirements for contracting will be met utilizing the County of Orange contract No. MA-080-23011506.
These replacement vehicles are needed by the City’s Police Department Patrol Division in their work to provide public safety services in Berkeley. This contract will support the City’s Strategic Plan Priority Project, advancing our goal to create a resilient, safe, connected, and prepared city.
BACKGROUND
City Charter Article XI Section 67.2 allows the City to purchase goods without undergoing a competitive bid process if the City utilizes pricing obtained by another entity through a competitive process. On January 16, 2024, the County of Orange entered into a contract for Patrol Vehicle Equipment, Supplies, and Equipment

Installation Services, contract No MA-080-23011506. Attachment A, Section 15 states that this contract will be extended to other California local and state governmental entities wishing to use the pre-negotiated prices and terms of this contract.
Throughout the year, the Department of Public Works purchases vehicles and equipment for the City’s operating departments. These vehicles require specialized supplies/equipment and installation. This is paid for through the Equipment Replacement fund. If a purchase will exceed $50,000, the Department of Finance, General Services Division solicits bids or “piggybacks” off competitively bid contacts to ensure the City’s departments receive the best pricing.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
Public Works Equipment Maintenance endeavors to procure the most fuel-efficient vehicles and equipment that are suitable for the required tasks. Equipment Maintenance also researches the feasibility and availability of fully electric vehicles and hybrid-electric powertrains to support the City’s transition away from fossil fuels toward an all-electric fleet, where technically feasible.
RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
Hybrid Police patrol vehicles have been overdue for replacement and have been previously purchased. The majority of current police patrol vehicles chosen for replacement is over eight (8) years old and the oldest vehicle is fifteen (15) years old.
The majority of these vehicles were purchased in 2016 with the replacement vehicles been purchased in 2023. Due to manufacturing delays, the replacement vehicles have been only recently available for delivery.
These vehicles require specialized supplies, equipment, and installation to ensure that they meet public safety and operational requirements. A contract is needed to secure additional supplies and installation services for these vehicles for the City. Piggybacking on pricing obtained through another public agency’s competitive bidding process ensures that the City is receiving the most competitive pricing.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
None. The previously purchased vehicles require specialized supplies, equipment, and installation to meet operational requirements. City staff do not have the capacity for the upfitting of twenty-one vehicles.

Subject: Purchase Order: Braun Northwest Inc. for Two (2) 2025 Ford F-450 North Star Engine Remount of Ambulance Bodies to New Chassis
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution satisfying requirements of City Charter allowing the City of Berkeley (“City”) to participate in HGACBuy contract bid procedures and authorizing the City Manager to purchase two (2) 2025 Ford F-450 North Star Ambulance chassis with Braun Northwest, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $430,000.00.
FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
The purchase of two (2) 2025 Ford F-450 North Star ambulance chassis will not exceed $430,000.00. This purchase total includes document fees, California tire fees and delivery charges. Funding for this purchase is available in the FY 2025 baseline Equipment Replacement Fund 671.
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
This purchase will replace the chassis of two (2) ambulances Equipment ID 19001 and 19003 that are nearing the end of useful service life as front line, initial response vehicles. Both vehicles were put in service in 2020 and are planned for replacement in July 2026. The average time to remount and upfit and an ambulance is 12 plus months which is why the purchase is being requested at this time.
The existing ambulance bodies are customized for optimal use, are in good repair and will be remounted on new chassis. The practice of remounting ambulance bodies on new chassis rather than purchasing new ambulances is an effective cost saving measure as it will save over $100,000.
These vehicles are used 24/7 by the City’s Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Division in the course of their job duties.
This purchase agreement will support the City’s Strategic Plan Goal of creating a resilient, safe, connected, and prepared City.
Purchase Agreement with Braun Northwest, Inc. For CONSENT CALENDAR Two (2) 2025 North Star Engine Remount December 10, 2025
BACKGROUND
If a purchase request exceeds $100,000.00, the Department of Finance, General Services Division solicits bids or “piggybacks” off competitively bid contracts to ensure the City’s departments are receiving the best pricing.
The City of Berkeley has been a no-cost member of the Houston-Galveston Area Council (HGACBuy), a Cooperative Purchasing Program that has offered inter-local purchasing since 2008. HGACBuy provides procurement services that make the government procurement process more efficient by establishing competitively priced contracts for goods and services made available to local governments nationwide.
All products and services offered through HGACBuy have been subjected to a public competitive bid process. On June 9, 2023, HGACBuy released a Request for Proposal No. AM 10-23 for Ambulances, EMS and Other Special Service Vehicles. The solicitation was nationally advertised for forty-eight days (48). On August 10, 2023, twenty-three (23) proposals were submitted and reviewed. On October 1, 2023, Houston-Galveston Area Council selected Braun Northwest, Inc. as the best responsive and responsible proposers to meet the specifications, thusly awarding Contract No.
AM10-23
HGACBuy charges an order processing charge for each sale successfully completed through their contract. For this purchase a flat fee of $4,000.00 will be paid directly to HGACBuy by Braun Northwest, Inc.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
For fleet purchases, Public Works staff researches the feasibility and availability of fully electric vehicles and hybrid-electric powertrains to support the City’s transition off fossil fuels. Staff research found that there are no viable electric or hybrid electric ambulance chassis for consideration. The Fire Department would like to transition its fleet of front- line EMS vehicles to electric. This is likely to not be financially feasible until all firehouses are remodeled/rebuilt to include the appropriate infrastructure and/or the price of electric ambulance vehicles decrease or additional revenue is identified.
RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
The vehicles are in-service now and the chassis are past their useful life. These vehicle bodies are in good repair and can be remounted on new chassis. A purchase order is needed to purchase new chassis and transfer the current ambulance bodies.
Ambulances in good working condition are essential to respond, provide treatment and transport for members of our community that experience medical emergencies.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
None. The purchase of new ambulances is cost prohibitive.

Agreement Regarding Allocation of Costs for CONSENT CALENDAR Railroad Crossing Improvements for W-SW WBLSWest Owner IX, L.P., December 10, 2024 a California limited liability company and the City of Berkeley
BACKGROUND
The Developer is constructing a new Project at 747 Bancroft Way, which consists of a 159,143-square-foot, three-story building containing 124,539 square feet of research and development space and 34,604 square feet of light manufacturing space, and a surface parking lot containing 76 off-street parking spaces and five loading spaces.
Pursuant to Use Permit # ZP2021-0096, the Project is subject to certain conditions of approval that require Developer to coordinate with the UPRR, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and the City to improve the safety of all travelers at the Bancroft Way at-grade railroad crossing next to Project site.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
Ensuring that the developer works with UPRR to make the Bancroft Way railroad crossing safe is critical to supporting biking and walking in Berkeley. Biking and walking are the most environmentally sustainable modes of transportation, and the City’s Climate Action Plan seeks to make them the “primary means of transportation for Berkeley residents and visitors.” Bancroft Way is a key connection in the biking and walking network, bringing people of all ages and abilities to and from Aquatic Park and the pedestrian and bicyclist bridge over I-80 to the waterfront. What’s more, this development, and others nearby, will increase bike traffic, making it even more important to ensure safety for vulnerable road users.
RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
The UPRR does not enter into agreements with private entities. Therefore, the City will enter into an agreement with the UPRR on behalf of the Developer with the Developer is agreeing to pay all the associated UPRR costs.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
Since Union Pacific does not enter into agreements with private entities, the City is acting as the go-between between Developer and Union Pacific in order for the safety improvements to be implemented. If the City does not enter into this agreement, UPRR will not approve the project, therefore no alternatives are feasible.

Developer (“Project”).
B. Developer is negotiating an agreement with the City regarding Developer undertaking certain off-site improvements (“Off-Site Work”), a small part of which Off-Site Work includes work which will take place on Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) operating corridor within City of Berkeley. Developer has been coordinating with UPRR, the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”), and the City to improve the safety of all travelers at the Bancroft Way at-grade railroad crossing near the Project site (“Crossing”). Developer, UPRR and the CPUC have agreed upon the nature and scope of the improvements which Developer will undertake on UPRR operating corridor all of which improvements are listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto (the improvements listed on Schedule 1 referred to hereinbelow collectively as the “Project Railroad Improvements”).
C. Because UPRR will not enter into an agreement with a private entity, the City and UPRR intend to enter into a Construction and Maintenance Agreement, in the form and substance attached hereto as Exhibit A, ( “C&M Agreement”) pursuant to which City will agree to reimburse UPRR and/or UPRR’s third party consultants and contractors (collectively, the “UPRR Parties”) for actual costs incurred by the UPRR Parties for all project and construction management costs performed by the UPRR Parties during the construction activities in the railroad operating corridor for the Project Railroad Improvements (such UPRR estimated costs being referred to herein as “Railroad Costs”), on Exhibit C-1 of the C&M Agreement. For clarification, the C&M Agreement affects a larger scope of construction work, part of which will not be done by Developer. One main purpose of this Agreement is to document the process pursuant to which Developer shall assume responsibility for the actual Railroad Costs with respect to the Project Railroad Improvements, in recognition of the fact that, if Developer undertakes the Off-Site Work, the costs related to completion of the Project Railroad Improvements shall be Developer’s responsibility. Developer and City hereby acknowledge and agree that Developer will only be responsible for reimbursing UPRR for the costs related to the Project Railroad Improvements listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto and not for any of the additional construction and/or improvements which are the subject of the C&M Agreement.
D. This Agreement is further intended to confirm that Developer and its contractor are responsible for complying with all UPRR insurance and other requirements expressly set forth in the C&M Agreement applicable to any work performed by Developer and/or its contractor with respect to the Project Railroad Improvements.
AGREEMENT
1. Under the C&M Agreement, City (as “Political Body”) will be responsible for one hundred percent (100%) of all actual costs and expenses for the UPRR Parties’ performance of the Project Railroad Improvements, as set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto. Developer acknowledges that the Estimate, as such term is defined in the C&M Agreement, is only an estimate of the expected Railroad Costs, as further detailed and explained in the C&M Agreement. Developer and City hereby agree that Developer shall be responsible for making all payments to the UPRR Parties which City is obligated to make under the C&M Agreement but with respect only to the Project Railroad Improvements (and not any other improvements which are the subject of the C&M Agreement), on and subject to the terms of this Agreement; provided however, that the foregoing obligations to make payments shall not apply unless and until Developer has commenced construction of the Project Railroad Improvements. City covenants to promptly provide Developer with copies of all progressive billing and all final billing promptly upon receipt of the same from UPRR.

Developer agrees to reimburse UPRR or other UPRR Party within thirty (30) days after receipt of the emailed copy of each bill from City.
4. Developer acknowledges and agrees that Developer shall be responsible for performing, or causing its contractor to perform, the Project Railroad Improvements. Developer further agrees that any contractor retained by Developer to perform any portion of the Project Railroad Improvements carried out on UPRR operating corridor shall comply with the conditions on such work expressly required under the C&M Agreement. Without limiting the specificity of the foregoing, Developer shall require any contractor performing work on UPRR operating corridor to execute UPRR’s then-current form of Contractor’s Right of Entry Agreement (“CROE Agreement”) and comply with the requirements set forth therein on Exhibit D of the C&M Agreement.
5. Developer shall require any contractor entering onto UPRR operating corridor to maintain all insurance required by UPRR under the CROE Agreement, or to be covered by an Owner Controlled Insurance Program (“OCIP”) policy providing such coverage. City acknowledges and agrees that such insurance requirements satisfy and supersede any insurance requirements which City would otherwise impose on such contractor and its work, except that Developer shall require its contractor’s or OCIP insurance to be endorsed as follows:
(a) For the commercial general liability and automobile insurance, the City (including its elected officials, employees, and agents) shall be named as additional insured, and the policy shall be endorsed accordingly.
(b) The contractor’s or OCIP insurance shall be primary to any other insurance, self-insurance or joint self-insurance available to the City with respect to any claim
arising out of this Agreement. Any insurance, self-insurance or joint self-insurance maintained by the City shall be excess of the contractor’s insurance and shall not contribute with it.

12. The terms and conditions of this Agreement and any documents incorporated by reference represent the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

PUBLIC HIGHWAY AT-GRADE CROSSING AGREEMENT
SECTION 1. CONDITIONS AND COVENANTS
A. The Railroad makes no covenant or warranty of title for quiet possession or against encumbrances. The Political Body shall not use or permit use of the Crossing Area for any purposes other than those described in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Political Body shall not use or permit use of the Crossing Area for railroad purposes, or for gas, oil or gasoline pipe lines. Any lines constructed on the Railroad's property by or under authority of the Political Body for the purpose of conveying electric power or communications incidental to the Political Body's use of the property for highway purposes shall be constructed in accordance with specifications and requirements of the Railroad, and in such manner as not adversely to affect communication or signal lines of the Railroad or its licensees now or hereafter located upon said property. No nonparty shall be admitted by the Political Body to use or occupy any part of the Railroad's property without the Railroad's written consent. Nothing herein shall obligate the Railroad to give such consent.
B. The Railroad reserves the right to cross the Crossing Area with such railroad tracks as may be required for its convenience or purposes. In the event the Railroad shall place additional tracks upon the Crossing Area, the Political Body shall, at its sole cost and expense, modify the Roadway to conform with all tracks within the Crossing Area.
C. The right hereby granted is subject to any existing encumbrances and rights (whether public or private), recorded or unrecorded, and also to any renewals thereof.
The Political Body shall not damage, destroy or interfere with the property or rights of nonparties in, upon or relating to the Railroad's property, unless the Political Body at its own expense settles with and obtains releases from such nonparties.
D. The Railroad reserves the right to use and to grant to others the right to use the Crossing Area for any purpose not inconsistent with the right hereby granted, including, but not by way of limitation, the right to construct, reconstruct, maintain, operate, repair, alter, renew and replace tracks, facilities and appurtenances on the property; and the right to cross the Crossing Area with all kinds of equipment.
E. So far as it lawfully may do so, the Political Body will assume, bear and pay all taxes and assessments of whatsoever nature or kind (whether general, local or special) levied or assessed upon or against the Crossing Area, excepting taxes levied upon and against the property as a component part of the Railroad's operating property.
2 F. If any property or rights other than the right hereby granted are necessary for the construction, maintenance and use of the Roadway and its appurtenances, or for the performance of any work in connection with the Project, the Political Body will acquire all such other property and rights at its own expense and without expense to the Railroad.
SECTION 2. CONSTRUCTION OF ROADWAY
A. The Political Body, at its expense, will apply for and obtain all public authority required by law, ordinance, rule or regulation for the Project, and will furnish the Railroad upon request with satisfactory evidence that such authority has been obtained.
B. Except as may be otherwise specifically provided herein, the Political Body, at its expense, will furnish all necessary labor, material and equipment, and shall construct and complete the Roadway and all appurtenances thereof. The appurtenances shall include, without limitation, all necessary and proper highway warning devices (except those installed by the Railroad within its right of way) and all necessary drainage facilities, guard rails or barriers, and right of way fences between the Roadway and th e railroad tracks. Upon completion of the Project, the Political Body shall remove from the Railroad's property all temporary structures and false work, and will leave the Crossing Area in a condition satisfactory to the Railroad.
C. All construction work of the Political Body upon the Railroad's property (including, but not limited to, construction of the Roadway and all appurtenances and all related and incidental work) shall be performed and completed in a manner satisfactory to the Assistant Vice President Engineering- Design of the Railroad or his authorized representative and in compliance with the Plans, and other guidelines furnished by the Railroad.
D. All construction work of the Political Body shall be performed diligently and completed within a reasonable time. No part of the Project shall be suspended, discontinued or unduly delayed without the Railroad's written consent, and subject to such reasonable conditions as the Railroad may specify. It is understood that the Railroad's tracks at and in the vicinity of the work will be in constant or frequent use during progress of the work and that movement or stoppage of trains, engines or cars may cause delays in the work of the Political Body. The Political Body hereby assumes the risk of any such delays and agrees that no claims for damages on account of any delay shall be made against the Railroad by the State and/or the Contractor.
SECTION 3. INJURY AND DAMAGE TO PROPERTY
If the Political Body, in the performance of any work contemplated by this Agreement or by the failure to do or perform anything for which the Political Body is responsible under the provisions of this Agreement, shall injure, damage or destroy any property of the Railroad or of any other person lawfully occupying or using the property of the Railroad, such property shall be replaced or repaired by the Political Body at the
3 Political Body's own expense, or by the Railroad at the expense of the Political Body, and to the satisfaction of the Railroad's Assistant Vice President Engineering-Design.
SECTION 4. RAILROAD MAY USE CONTRACTORS TO PERFORM WORK
The Railroad may contract for the performance of any of its work by other than the Railroad forces. The Railroad shall notify the Political Body of the contract price within ninety (90) days after it is awarded. Unless the Railroad's work is to be performed on a fixed price basis, the Political Body shall reimburse the Railroad for the amount of the contract.
SECTION 5. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
A. The Political Body shall, at its own sole expense, maintain, repair, and renew, or caus
e to be maintained, repaired and renewed, the entire Crossing Area and Roadway, except the portions between the trac
k tie ends, which shall be maintained by the
Railroad at the Political Body’s expense.
B. If, in the future, the Political Body elects to have the surfacing material between the track tie ends, or between tracks if there is more than one railroad track across the Crossing Area, replaced with paving or some surfacing material other than tim ber planking, the Railroad, at the Political Body’s expense, shall install such replacement surfacing, and in the future, to the extent repair or replacement of the surfacing is necessitated by repair or rehabilitation of the Railroad’s tracks through the C rossing Area, the Political Body shall bear the expense of such repairs or replacement.
SECTION 6. CHANGES IN GRADE
If at any time the Railroad shall elect, or be required by competent authority to, rai
se or lower the grade of all or any portion of the track (s) loc ated within the Crossing
Area, the Political Body shall, at its own expense, conform the Roadway to conform with the change of grade of the trackage.
SECTION 7. REARRANGEMENT OF WARNING DEVICES
If the change or rearrangement of any warning device installed hereunder is neces
sitated for public or Railroad convenience or on account of improvements for either the Railroad, highway or both, the parties will apportion the expense incidental thereto between themselves by negotiation, agreement or by the order of a competent authority before the change or rearrangement is undertaken.
SECTION 8. SAFE
TY MEASURES; PROTECTION
OF RAILROAD COMPANY OPERATIONS
It is understood and recognized that safety and continuity of the Railroad's operations and communications are of the utmost importance; and in order that the
4 same may be adequately safeguarded, protected and assured, and in order that accidents may be prevented and avoided, it is agreed with respect to all of said work of the Political Body that the work will be performed in a safe manner and in conformity with the following standards:
A. Definitions. All references in this Agreement to the Political Body shall also include the Contractor and their respective officers, agents and employees, and others acting under its or their authority; and all references in this Agreement to work of the Political Body shall include work both within and outside of the Railroad’s property.
B. Entry on to Railroad's Property by Political Body . If the Political Body's employees need to enter Railroad's property in order to perform an inspection of the Roadway, minor maintenance or other activities, the Political Body shall first provide at least ten (10) working days advance notice to the Railroad Representative. With respect to such entry on to Railroad’s property, the Political Body, to the extent permitted by law, agrees to release, defend and indemnify the Railroad from and against any loss, damage, injury, liability, claim, cost or expense incurred by any person including, without limitation, the Political Body’s employees, or damage to any property or equipment (collectively the “Loss”) that arises from the presence or activities of Political Body’s employees on Railroad’s property, except to the extent that any Loss is caused by the sole direct negligence of Railroad.
C. Flagging.
(i) If the Political Body's employees need to enter Railroad's property as provided in Paragraph B above, the Political Body agrees to notify the Railroad Representative at least thirty (30) working days in advance of proposed performance of any work by Political Body in which any person or equipment will be within twenty -five (25) feet of any track, or will be near enough to any track that any equipment extension (such as, but not limited to, a crane boom) will reach to within twenty-five (25) feet of any track. No w ork of any kind shall be performed, and no person, equipment, machinery, tool(s), material(s), vehicle(s), or thing(s) shall be located, operated, placed, or stored within twenty-five (25) feet of any of Railroad's track(s) at any time, for any reason, unless and until a Railroad flagman is provided to watch for trains. Upon receipt of such thirty (30) day notice, the Railroad Representative will determine and inform Political Body whether a flagman need be present and whether Political Body needs to implement any special protective or safety measures. If flagging or other special protective or safety measures are performed by Railroad, Railroad will bill Political Body for such expenses incurred by Railroad. If Railroad performs any flagging, or other special protective or safety measures are performed by Railroad, Political Body agrees that Political Body is not relieved of any of its responsibilities or liabilities set forth in this Agreement.
(ii) The rate of pay per hour for each flagman 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
5 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 Railroad 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. I f the wage rate or additional charges are changed, Political Body shall pay on the basis of the new rates and charges.
(iii) Reimbursement to Railroad will be required covering the full eight-hour day during which any flagman is furnished, unless the flagman 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 flagman is engaged in other Railroad work. Reimbursement will also be required for any day not actually worked by the flagman following the flagman's assignment to work on the project for which Railroad is required to pay the flagman and which could not reasonably be avoided by Railroad by assignment of such flagman to other work, even though Political Body may not be working during such time. When it becomes necessary for Railroad to bulletin and assign an employee to a flagging position in compliance with union collective bargaining agreements, Political Body must provide Railroad a minimum of five (5) days notice prior to the cessation of the need for a flagman. If five (5) days notice of cessation is not given, Political Body will still be required to pay flagging charges for the five (5) day notice period required by union agreement to be given to the employee, even though flagging is not required for that period. An additional thirty (30) days notice must then be given to Railroad if flagging services are needed again after such five day cessation notice has been given to Railroad.
D. Compliance With Laws . The Political Body shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations and enactments affecting the work. The Political Body shall use only such methods as are consistent with safety, both as concerns the Political Body, the Political Body's agents and employees, the officers, agents, employees and property of the Railroad and the public in general. The Political Body (without limiting the generality of the foregoing) shall comply with all applicable state and federal occupational safety and health acts and regulations. All Federal Railroad Administration regulations shall be followed when work is performed on the Railroad's premises. If any failure by the Political Body to comply with any such laws, regulations, and enactments, shall result in any fine, penalty, cost or charge being assessed, imposed or charged against the Railroad, the Political Body shall reimburse, and to the extent it may lawfully do so, indemnify the Railroad for any such fine, penalty, cost, or charge, including without limitation attorney's fees, court costs and expenses.
The Political Body further agrees in the event of any such action, upon notice thereof being provided by the Railroad, to defend such action free of cost, charge, or expense to the Railroad.
6 E. No Interference or Delays. The Political Body shall not do, suffer or permit anything which will or may obstruct, endanger, interfere with, hinder or delay maintenance or operation of the Railroad's tracks or facilities, or any communication or signal lines, installations or any appurtenances thereof, or the operations of others lawfully occupying or using the Railroad's property or facilities.
F. Supervision. The Political Body, at its own expense, shall adequately police and supervise all work to be performed by the Political Body, and shall not inflict injury to persons or damage to property for the safety of whom or of which the Railroad may be responsible, or to property of the Railroad. The responsibility of the Political Body for safe conduct and adequate policing and supervision of the Project shall not be lessened or otherwise affected by the Railroad's approval of plans and specifications, or by the Railroad's collaboration in performance of any work, or by the presence at the work site of the Railroad's representatives, or by compliance by the Political Body with any requests or recommendations made by such representatives. If a representative of the Railroad is assigned to the Project, the Political Body will give due consideration to suggestions and recommendations made by such representative for the safety and protection of the Railroad's property and operations.
G. Suspension of Work. If at any time the Political Body's engineers or the Vice President-Engineering Services of the Railroad or their respective representatives shall be of the opinion that any work of the Political Body is being or is about to be done or prosecuted without due regard and precaution for safety and security, the Political Body shall immediately suspend the work until suitable, adequate and proper protective measures are adopted and provided.
H. Removal of Debris. The Political Body shall not cause, suffer or permit material or debris to be deposited or cast upon, or to slide or fall upon any property or facilities of the Railroad; and any such material and debris shall be promptly removed from the Railroad's property by the Political Body at the Political Body's own expense or by the Railroad at the expense of the Political Body. The Political Body shall not cause, suffer or permit any snow to be plowed or cast upon the Railroad's property during snow removal from the Crossing Area.
I. Explosives. The Political Body shall not discharge any explosives on or in the vicinity of the Railroad's property without the prior consent of the Railroad's Vice President-Engineering Services, which shall not be given if, in the sole discretion of the Railroad's Vice President-Engineering Services, such discharge would be dangerous or would interfere with the Railroad's property or facilities. For the purposes hereof, the "vicinity of the Railroad's property" shall be deemed to be any place on the Railroad's property or in such close proximity to the Railroad's property that the discharge of explosives could cause injury to the Railroad's employees or other persons, or cause damage to or interference with the facilities or operations on the Railroad's property.
The Railroad reserves the right to impose such conditions, restrictions or limitations on the transportation, handling, storage, security and use of explosives as the Railroad, in the Railroad's sole discretion, may deem to be necessary, desirable or appropriate.
7 J. Excavation. The Political Body shall not excavate from existing slopes nor construct new slopes which are excessive and may create hazards of slides or falling rock, or impair or endanger the clearance between existing or new slopes and the tracks of the Railroad. The Political Body shall not do or cause to be done any work which will or may disturb the stability of any area or adversely affect the Railroad's tracks or facilities. The Political Body, at its own expense, shall install and maintain adequ ate shoring and cribbing for all excavation and/or trenching performed by the Political Body in connection with construction, maintenance or other work. The shoring and cribbing shall be constructed and maintained with materials and in a manner approved by the Railroad's Assistant Vice President Engineering - Design to withstand all stresses likely to be encountered, including any stresses resulting from vibrations caused by the Railroad's operations in the vicinity.
K. Drainage. The Political Body, at the Political Body's own expense, shall provide and maintain suitable facilities for draining the Roadway and its appurtenances, and shall not suffer or permit drainage water therefrom to flow or collect upon property of the Railroad. The Political Body, at the Political Body's own expense, shall provide adequate passageway for the waters of any streams, bodi es of water and drainage facilities (either natural or artificial, and including water from the Railroad's culver t and drainage facilities), so that said waters may not, because of any facilities or work of the Political Body, be impeded, obstructed, diverted or caused to back up, overflow or damage the property of the Railroad or any part thereof, or property of others. The Political Body shall not obstruct or interfere with existing ditches or drainage facilities.
L. Notice. Before commencing any work, the Political Body shall provide the advance notice to the Railroad that is required under the Contractor's Right of Entry Agreement.
M. Fiber Optic Cables. Fiber optic cable systems may be buried on the Railroad's 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. Political Body shall visit up.com/CBUD to complete and submit the required form to determine if fiber optic cable is buried anywhere on Railroad's property to be used by the Political Body. If it is, Political Body will telephone the telecommunications company(ies) involved, arrange for a cable locator, and make arrangements for relocation or other protection of the fiber optic cable prior to beginning any work on the Railroad's premises.
SECTION 9. INTERIM WARNING DEVICES
If at anytime it is determined by a competent authority, by the Political Body, or by agreement between the parties, that new or improved train activated warning devices should be installed at the Crossing Area, the Political Body shall install adequate temporary warning devices or signs and impose appropriate vehicular control measures to protect the motoring public until the new or improved devices have been installed.
8 SECTION 10. OTHER RAILROADS
All protective and indemnifying provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Railroad and any other railroad company lawfully using the Railroad's property or facilities.
SECTION 11. BOOKS AND RECORDS
The books, papers, records and accounts of Railroad, so far as they relate to the items of expense for the materials to be provided by Railroad under this Project, or are associated with the work to be performed by Railroad under this Project, shall be open to inspection and audit at Railroad's offices in Omaha, Nebraska, during normal business hours by the agents and authorized representatives of Political Body for a period of three (3) years following the date of Railroad's last billing sent to Political Body.
SECTION 12. REMEDIES FOR BREACH OR NONUSE
A. If the Political Body shall fail, refuse or neglect to perform and abide by the terms of this Agreement, the Railroad, in addition to any other rights and remedies, may perform any work which in the judgment of the Railroad is necessary to place the Roadway and appurtenances in such condition as will not menace, endanger or interfere with the Railroad's facilities or operations or jeopardize the Railroad's employees; and the Political Body will reimburse the Railroad for the expenses thereof.
B. Nonuse by the Political Body of the Crossing Area for public highway purposes continuing at any time for a period of eighteen (18) months shall, at the option of the Railroad, work a termination of this Agreement and of all rights of the Political Body hereunder.
C. The Political Body will surrender peaceable possession of the Crossing Area and Roadway upon termination of this Agreement. Termination of this Agreement shall not affect any rights, obligations or liabilities of the parties, accrued or otherwise, which may have arisen prior to termination.
SECTION 13. MODIFICATION - ENTIRE AGREEMENT
No waiver, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be of any force or effect unless made in writing, signed by the Political Body and the Railroad and specifying with particularity the nature and extent of such waiver, modification or amendment. Any waiver by the Railroad of any default by the Political Body shall not affect or impair any right arising from any subsequent default.

TO
CONTRACTOR’S RIGHT OF ENTRY AGREEMENT
Exhibit A will be a print showing the general location of the work site.
1 EXHIBIT B
TO
CONTRACTOR'S RIGHT OF ENTRY AGREEMENT
Section 1. NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT OF WORK - RAILROAD FLAGGING - PRIVATE FLAGGING.
A. Contractor agrees to notify the Railroad Representative at least ten (10) working days in advance of Contractor commencing its Work and at least thirty (30) working days in advance of proposed performance of any Work by Contractor in which any person or equipment will be within twenty-five (25) feet of any track, or will be near enough to any track that any equipment extension (such as, but not limited to, a crane boom) will reach to within twenty-five (25) feet of any track.
B. No work of any kind shall be performed, and no person, equipment, machinery, tool(s), material(s), vehicle(s), or thing(s) shall be located, operated, placed, or stored within twenty-five (25) feet of any of Railroad's track(s) at any time, for any reason, unless and until a Railroad approved flagman is provided to watch for trains. Upon receipt of such thirty (30) -day notice, the Railroad Representative will determine and inform Contractor whether a flagman need be present and whether Contractor needs to implement any special protective or safety measures.
C. Contractor shall be permitted to hire a private contractor to perform flagging or other special protective or safety measures (such private contractor being commonly known in the railroad industry as a contractor-in-charge (“CIC”)) in lieu of Railroad providing such services or in concert with Railroad providing such services, subject to prior written approval by Railroad, which approval shall be in Railroad’s sole and absolute discretion. If Railroad agrees to permit Contractor to utilize a CIC pursuant to the preceding sentence, Contractor shall obtain Railroad’s prior approval in writing for each of the following items, as determined in all respects in Railroad’s sole and absolute discretion: (i) the identity of the third-party performing the role of CIC; (ii) the scope of the services to be performed for the project by the approved CIC; and (iii) any other terms and conditions governing such services to be provided by the CIC. If flagging or other special protective or safety measures are performed by an approved CIC, Contractor shall be solely responsible for (and shall timely pay such CIC for) its services. Railroad reserves the right to rescind any approval pursuant to this Section 1, Subsection C., in whole or in part, at any time, as determined in Railroad’s sole and absolute discretion.
D. If any flagging or other special protective or safety measures are performed by employees of Railroad and/or any contractor of Railroad, Railroad will bill Contractor for such expenses incurred by Railroad, unless Railroad and a federal, state or local governmental entity have agreed that Railroad is to bill such expenses to the federal, state or local governmental entity. If Railroad will be sending the bills to Contractor, Contractor shall pay such bills within thirty (30) days of Contractor's receipt of billing.
E. If any flagging or other special protective or safety measures are performed by Railroad or a CIC, Contractor agrees that Contractor is not relieved of any of its responsibilities or liabilities set forth in this agreement.
F. The provisions set forth in this subsection are only applicable for Flagging Services performed by employees of Railroad: the rate of pay per hour for each flagman 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
2 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 Railroad 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, Contractor (or the governmental entity, as applicable) shall pay on the basis of the new rates and charges. If flagging is performed by Railroad, reimbursement to Railroad will be required covering the full eight-hour day during which any flagman is furnished, unless the flagman 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 flagman is engaged in other Railroad work. Reimbursement will also be required for any day not actually worked by the flagman following the flagman's assignment to work on the project for which Railroad is required to pay the flagman and which could not reasonably be avoided by Railroad by assignment of such flagman to other work, even though Contractor may not be working during such time. When it becomes necessary for Railroad to bulletin and assign an employee to a flagging position in compliance with union collective bargaining agreements, Contractor must provide Railroad a minimum of five (5) days notice prior to the cessation of the need for a flagman. If five (5) days notice of cessation is not given, Contractor will still be required to pay flagging charges for the five (5) day notice period required by union agreement to be given to the employee, even though flagging is not required for that period.
An additional thirty (30) days notice must then be given to Railroad if flagging services are needed again after such five-day cessation notice has been given to Railroad.
Section 2. LIMITATION AND SUBORDINATION OF RIGHTS GRANTED
A. The foregoing grant of right is subject and subordinate to the prior and continuing right and obligation of the Railroad to use and maintain its entire property including the right and power of Railroad to construct, maintain, repair, renew, use, operate, change, modify or relocate railroad tracks, roadways, 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 Railroad without liability to Contractor or to any other party for compensation or damages.
B. The foregoing grant is also subject to all outstanding superior rights (whether recorded or unrecorded and including those in favor of licensees and lessees of Railroad's property, and others) and the right of Railroad to renew and extend the same, and is made without covenant of title or for quiet enjoyment.
Section 3. NO INTERFERENCE WITH OPERATIONS OF RAILROAD AND ITS TENANTS.
A. Contractor shall conduct its operations so as not to interfere with the continuous and uninterrupted use and operation of the railroad tracks and property of Railroad, including without limitation, the operations of Railroad's lessees, licensees or others, unless specifically authorized in advance by the Railroad Representative.
Nothing shall be done or permitted to be done by Contractor at any time that would in any manner impair the safety of such operations. When not in use, Contractor's machinery and materials shall be kept at least twenty- five (25) feet from the centerline of Railroad's nearest track, and there shall be no vehicular crossings of Railroads tracks except at existing open public crossings.
B. Operations of Railroad and work performed by Railroad personnel and delays in the Work to be performed by Contractor caused by such railroad operations and Work are expected by Contractor, and Contractor agrees that Railroad shall have no liability to Contractor, or any other person or entity for any such delays. The Contractor shall coordinate its activities with those of Railroad and third parties so as to avoid interference with railroad operations. The safe operation of Railroad train movements and other activities by Railroad takes precedence over any Work to be performed by Contractor.
3 Section 4. LIENS.
Contractor shall pay in full all persons who perform labor or provide materials for the Work to be performed by Contractor. Contractor shall not create, permit or suffer any mechanic's or materialmen's liens of any kind or nature to be created or enforced against any property of Railroad for any such Work performed. Contractor shall indemnify and hold harmless Railroad from and against any and all liens, claims, demands, costs or expenses of whatsoever nature in any way connected with or growing out of such Work done, labor performed, or materials furnished. If Contractor fails to promptly cause any lien to be released of record, Railroad may, at its election, discharge the lien or claim of lien at Contractor's expense.
Section 5. PROTECTION OF FIBER OPTIC CABLE SYSTEMS.
A. Fiber optic cable systems may be buried on Railroad's 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. Contractor shall visit www.up.com/CBUD to complete and submit the required form to determine if fiber optic cable is buried anywhere on Railroad's property to be used by Contractor. If it is, Contractor will telephone the telecommunications company(ies) involved, make arrangements for a cable locator and, if applicable, for relocation or other protection of the fiber optic cable. Contractor shall not commence any Work until all such protection or relocation (if applicable) has been accomplished.
B. IN ADDITION TO OTHER INDEMNITY PROVISIONS IN THIS AGREEMENT, CONTRACTOR
SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD RAILROAD HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ALL COSTS,
LIABILITY AND EXPENSE WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ATTORNEYS' FEES,

INJURY TO OR DEATH OF ANY PERSON EMPLOY ED BY OR ON BEHALF OF ANY
TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANY, AND/OR ITS CONTRACTOR, AGENTS AND/OR EMPLOYEES, ON RAILROAD'S PROPERTY. CONTRACTOR SHALL NOT HAVE OR SEEK RECOURSE AGAINST RAILROAD
FOR ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION FOR ALLEGED LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE OR LOSS OF
SERVICE OR OTHER CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE TO A TELECOMMUNICATION COMPANY USING

If required, coverage may be provided in separate policy form or by endorsement to Contractors CGL or RPL. Any form coverage must be equivalent to that provided in ISO form CG 24 15 "Limited Pollution Liability Extension Endorsement" or CG 28 31 "Pollution Exclusion Amendment" with limits of at least $5,000,000 per occurrence and an aggregate limit of $10,000,000.
If the scope of Work as defined in this agreement includes the disposal of any hazardous or non- hazardous materials from the job site, Contractor must furnish to Railroad evidence of pollution legal liability insurance maintained by the disposal site operator for losses arising from the insured facility accepting the materials, with coverage in minimum amounts of $1,000,000 per loss, and an annual aggregate of $2,000,000.
Other Requirements
G. All policy(ies) required above (except business automobile, worker’s compensation and employers liability) must include Railroad as “Additional Insured” using ISO Additional Insured Endorsements CG 20 10, and CG 20 37 (or substitute forms providing equivalent coverage). The coverage provided to Railroad as additional insured shall not be limited by Contractor's liability under the indemnity provisions of this agreement. BOTH CONTRACTOR AND RAILROAD EXPECT THAT UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD
COMPANY WILL BE PROVIDED WITH THE BROADEST POSSIBLE COVERAGE AVAILABLE BY OPERATION OF LAW UNDER ISO ADDITIONAL INSURED FORMS CG 20 10 AND CG 20 37.
H. Punitive damages exclusion, if any, must be deleted (and the deletion indicated on the certificate of insurance), unless (a) insurance coverage may not lawfully be obtained for any punitive damages that may arise under this agreement, or (b) all punitive damages are prohibited by all states in which this agreement will be performed.
I. Contractor waives all rights of recovery, and its insurers also waive all rights of subrogation of damages against Railroad and its agents, officers, directors and employees for damages covered by the workers compensation and employers liability or commercial umbrella or excess liability obtained by Contractor required in this agreement where prohibited by law. This waiver must be stated on the certificate of insurance.
J. Prior to commencing the Work, Contractor shall furnish Railroad with a certificate(s) of insurance, executed by a duly authorized representative of each insurer, showing compliance with the insurance requirements in this agreement.
3 K. All insurance policies must be written by a reputable insurance company acceptable to Railroad or with a current Best's Insurance Guide Rating of A - and Class VII or better, and authorized to do business in the state where the Work is being performed.
L. The fact that insurance is obtained by Contractor or by Railroad on behalf of Contractor will not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of Contractor, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this agreement. Damages recoverable by Railroad from Contractor or any third party will not be limited by the amount of the required insurance coverage.

MP 5.92 – Martinez Subdivision
Berkeley, Alameda County, California
THIS AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made and entered into as of the ____ day of ______
_____, 20____ ("Effective Date"), by and between UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY, a Delaware corporation, to be addressed at Real Estate Department, 1400 Douglas Street, Mail Stop 1690, Omaha, Nebraska 68179 ( ”Railroad") and CITY OF BERKELEY, a municipal corporation or political subdivision of the State of California to be addressed at 1947 Center Street, 2 nd Floor, Berkeley, California 94704 ("Political Body").
RECITALS:
Presently, the Political Body utilizes the Railroad’s property for the existing at grade public road crossing over Bancroft Way, DOT Number 751176H at Railroad’s Milepost
5.92 on Railroad’s Martinez Subdivision at or near Berkeley, Alameda County, California.
The Political Body now desires to undertake as its project (the “Project”) the reconstruction and widening of the existing at grade public road crossing to accommodate the reconstruction of sidewalks and installation of delineators as medians. The road crossing, as reconstructed and widened is hereinafter the “Roadway.”
The Railroad right of way being utilized for the existing at grade public road crossing is not sufficient to allow for the reconstruction and widening of the Roadway.
Therefore, under this Agreement, the Railroad will be granting additional rights to the Political Body to facilitate the reconstruction and widening of the Roadway. The portion of Railroad’s property that Political Body needs to use in connection with the Roadway (including the right of way being utilized for the existing at grade crossing) is shown on the Railroad’s location print marked Exhibit A and the Political Body’s type, size and location prints of the Project marked Exhibit A-1, with each exhibit being attached hereto and hereby made a part hereof (the “Crossing Area”).
In support of its Project, the Political Body has requested the Railroad’s cooperation in connection with upgrading grade crossing protection devices in accordance with the design schematic marked Exhibit E, hereto attached and hereby made a part hereof (the “Designs”). Said work is to be performed at the sole expense of Political Body.
2 The R
ailroad and the Political Body are entering into this Agreement to cover the above.
AGREEMENT:
NOW, THEREFORE, it is mutually agreed by and between the parties hereto as follows:
Section 1. EXHIBIT B

tached hereto and
hereby made a part hereof.
Section 2. RAILROAD GRANTS RIGHT
For and in consideration of the sum of THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($3,000.00) to be paid by the Political Body to the Railroad upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement and in further consideration of the Political Body’s agreement to perform and comply with the terms of this Agreement, the Railroad hereby grants to the Political Body the right to construct, maintain and repair the Roadway over and across the Crossing Area.
Section 3. DEFINITION OF CONTRACTOR
For purposes of this Agreement the term “Contractor” shall mean the contractor or contractors hired by the Political Body to perform any Project work on any portion of the Railroad’s property and shall also include the Contractor’s subcontractors and the Contractor’s and subcontractor’s respective employees, officers and agents, and others acting under its or their authority.
Section 4. CONTRACTOR'S RIGHT OF ENTRY AGREEMENT - INSURANCE
A. Prior to Contractor performing any work within the Crossing Area and any subsequent maintenance and repair work, the Political Body shall require the Contractor to:
• execute the Railroad's then current Contractor's Right of Entry Agreement • obtain the then current insurance required in the Contractor’s Right of Entry Agreement; and
• provide such insurance policies, certificates, binders and/or endorsements to the Railroad.
B. The Railroad's current Contractor's Right of Entry Agreement is marked Exhibit D, attached hereto and hereby made a part hereof. The Political Body confirms
3 that it will inform its Contractor that it is required to execute such form of agreement and obtain the required insurance before commencing any work on any Railroad property.
Under no circumstances will the Contractor be allowed on the Railroad's property without first executing the Railroad's Contractor's Right of Entry Agreement and obtaining the insurance set forth therein and also providing to the Railroad the insurance policies, binders, certificates and/or endorsements described therein.
C. All
insurance correspondence, binders, policies, certificates and/or endorsements shall be sent to:

Project No. 0783795
D. If the Political Body's own employees will be performing any of the Project work, the Political Body may self-insure all or a portion of the insurance coverage subject to the Railroad's prior review and approval.
Section 5. FEDERAL AID POLICY GUIDE
If the Political Body will be receiving any federal funding for the Project, the current rules, regulations and provisions of the Federal Aid Policy Guide as contained in 23 CFR 140, Subpart I and 23 CFR 646, Subparts A and B are incorporated into this Agreement by reference.
Section 6. NO PROJECT EXPENSES TO BE BORNE BY RAILROAD
The Political Body agrees that no Project costs and expenses are to be borne by the Railroad. In addition, the Railroad is not required to contribute any funding for the Project.
Section 7. WORK TO BE PERFORMED BY RAILROAD; BILLING SENT TO POLITICAL BODY; POLITICAL BODY'S PAYMENT OF BILLS
A. The work to be performed by the Railroad, at the Political Body's sole cost and ex
pense, is described in the Railroad's Material and Force Account Estimates dated M
ay 31, 2023, and June 7, 2023, marked Exhibit C, and October 4, 2023 marked Exhibit C-1, with each exhibit being attached hereto and hereby made a part hereof (the "Estimates"). As set forth in the Estimates, the Railroad's estimated cost for the Railroad's work associated with the Project is One Million Four Thousand Five Hundred Forty Four Dollars ($1,004,544.00).
4 B. The Railroad, if it so elects, may recalculate and update the Estimates submitted to the Political Body in the event the Political Body does not commence construction on the portion of the Project located on the Railroad’s property within six (6) months from the date of the Estimates.
C. The P
olitical Body acknowledges that the Estimates may not
include any
estimate of flagging or other protective service costs that are to be paid by the Political Body or the Contractor in connection with flagging or other protective services provided by the Railroad in connection with the Project. All of such costs incurred by the Railroad are to be paid by the Political Body or the Contractor as determined by the Railroad and the Political Body. If it is determined that the Railroad will be billing the Contractor directly for such costs, the Political Body agrees that it will pay the Railroad for any flagging costs that have not been paid by any Contractor within thirty (30) days of the Contractor's receipt of billing.
D. The Railroad shall send progressive billing to the Political Body during the Project and final billing to the Political Body within one hundred eighty (180) days after receiving written notice from the Political Body that all Project work affecting the Railroad's property has been completed.
E. The Political Body agrees to reimburse the Railroad within thirty (30) days of its receipt of billing from the Railroad for one hundred percent (100%) of all actual costs incurred by the Railroad in connection with the Project including, but not limited to, all actual costs of engineering review (including preliminary engineering review costs incurred by Railroad prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement ), construction, inspection, flagging (unless flagging costs are to be billed directly to the Cont ractor), procurement of materials, equipment rental, manpower and deliveries to the job site and all direct and indirect overhead labor/construction costs including Railroad 's standard additive rates.
Section 8. PLANS
A. The Political Body, at its expense, shall prepare, or cause to be prepared by others, the detailed plans and specifications for the Project and the Structure and submit such plans and specifications to the Railroad’s Assistant Vice President Engineering-Design, or his authorized representative, for prior review and approval. The plans and specifications shall include all Roadway layout specifications, cross sections and elevations, associated drainage, and other appurtenances.
B. The final one hundred percent (100%) completed plans that are approved in writing by the Railroad’s Assistant Vice President Engineering-Design, or his authorized representative, are hereinafter referred to as the “Plans”. The Plans are hereby made a part of this Agreement by reference.
C. No changes in the Plans shall be made unless the Railroad has consented to such changes in writing.
5 D. The R
ailroad's review and approval of the Plans will in no way relieve the Political Body or the Contractor from their responsibilities, obligations and/or liabilities under this Agreement, and will be given with the understanding that the Railroad makes no representations or warranty as to the validity, accuracy, legal compliance or completeness of the Plans and that any reliance by the Political Body or C ontractor on
the Plans is at the risk of the Political Body and Contractor.
Section 9. NON-RAILROAD IMPROVEMENTS
A.

A. The Railroad makes no covenant or warranty of title for quiet possession or against encumbrances. The Political Body shall not use or permit use of the Crossing Area for any purposes other than those described in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Political Body shall not use or permit use of the Crossing Area for railroad purposes, or for gas, oil or gasoline pipe lines. Any lines constructed on the Railroad's property by or under authority of the Political Body for the purpose of conveying electric power or communications incidental to the Political Body's use of the property for highway purposes shall be constructed in accordance with specifications and requirements of the Railroad, and in such manner as not adversely to affect communication or signal lines of the Railroad or its licensees now or hereafter located upon said property. No nonparty shall be admitted by the Political Body to use or occupy any part of the Railroad's property without the Railroad's written consent. Nothing herein shall obligate the Railroad to give such consent.
B. The Railroad reserves the right to cross the Crossing Area with such railroad tracks as may be required for its convenience or purposes. In the event the Railroad shall place additional tracks upon the Crossing Area, the Political Body shall, at its sole cost and expense, modify the Roadway to conform with all tracks within the Crossing Area.
C. The right hereby granted is subject to any existing encumbrances and rights (whether public or private), recorded or unrecorded, and also to any renewals thereof.
The Political Body shall not damage, destroy or interfere with the property or rights of nonparties in, upon or relating to the Railroad's property, unless the Political Body at its own expense settles with and obtains releases from such nonparties.
D. The Railroad reserves the right to use and to grant to others the right to use the Crossing Area for any purpose not inconsistent with the right hereby granted, including, but not by way of limitation, the right to construct, reconstruct, maintain, operate, repair, alter, renew and replace tracks, facilities and appurtenances on the property; and the right to cross the Crossing Area with all kinds of equipment.
E. So far as it lawfully may do so, the Political Body will assume, bear and pay all taxes and assessments of whatsoever nature or kind (whether general, local or special) levied or assessed upon or against the Crossing Area, excepting taxes levied upon and against the property as a component part of the Railroad's operating property.
2 F. If any property or rights other than the right hereby granted are necessary for the construction, maintenance and use of the Roadway and its appurtenances, or for the performance of any work in connection with the Project, the Political Body will acquire all such other property and rights at its own expense and without expense to the Railroad.
SECTION 2. CONSTRUCTION OF ROADWAY
A. The Political Body, at its expense, will apply for and obtain all public authority required by law, ordinance, rule or regulation for the Project, and will furnish the Railroad upon request with satisfactory evidence that such authority has been obtained.
B. Except as may be otherwise specifically provided herein, the Political Body, at its expense, will furnish all necessary labor, material and equipment, and shall construct and complete the Roadway and all appurtenances thereof. The appurtenances shall include, without limitation, all necessary and proper highway warning devices (except those installed by the Railroad within its right of way) and all necessary drainage facilities, guard rails or barriers, and right of way fences between the Roadway and th e railroad tracks. Upon completion of the Project, the Political Body shall remove from the Railroad's property all temporary structures and false work, and will leave the Crossing Area in a condition satisfactory to the Railroad.
C. All construction work of the Political Body upon the Railroad's property (including, but not limited to, construction of the Roadway and all appurtenances and all related and incidental work) shall be performed and completed in a manner satisfactory to the Assistant Vice President Engineering- Design of the Railroad or his authorized representative and in compliance with the Plans, and other guidelines furnished by the Railroad.

No part of the Project shall be suspended, discontinued or unduly delayed without the Railroad's written consent, and subject to such reasonable conditions as the Railroad may specify. It is understood that the Railroad's tracks at and in the vicinity of the work will be in constant or frequent use during progress of the work and that movement or stoppage of trains, engines or cars may cause delays in the work of the Political Body. The Political Body hereby assumes the risk of any such delays and agrees that no claims for damages on account of any delay shall be made against the Railroad by the State and/or the Contractor.
SECTION 3. INJURY AND DAMAGE TO PROPERTY
If the Political Body, in the performance of any work contemplated by this Agreement or by the failure to do or perform anything for which the Political Body is responsible under the provisions of this Agreement, shall injure, damage or destroy any property of the Railroad or of any other person lawfully occupying or using the property of the Railroad, such property shall be replaced or repaired by the Political Body at the
3 Political Body's own expense, or by the Railroad at the expense of the Political Body, and to the satisfaction of the Railroad's Assistant Vice President Engineering-Design.
SECTION 4. RAILROAD MAY USE CONTRACTORS TO PERFORM WORK
The Railroad may contract for the performance of any of its work by other than the Railroad forces. The Railroad shall notify the Political Body of the contract price within ninety (90) days after it is awarded.

SECTION 5. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
A. The Political Body shall, at its own sole expense, maintain, repair, and renew, or caus
e to be maintained, repaired and renewed, the entire Crossing Area and Roadway, except the portions between the trac
k tie ends, which shall be maintained by the
Railroad at the Political Body’s expense.
B. If, in the future, the Political Body elects to have the surfacing material between the track tie ends, or between tracks if there is more than one railroad track across the Crossing Area, replaced with paving or some surfacing material other than tim ber planking, the Railroad, at the Political Body’s expense, shall install such replacement surfacing, and in the future, to the extent repair or replacement of the surfacing is necessitated by repair or rehabilitation of the Railroad’s tracks through the C rossing Area, the Political Body shall bear the expense of such repairs or replacement.
SECTION 6. CHANGES IN GRADE
If at any time the Railroad shall elect, or be required by competent authority to, rai
se or lower the grade of all or any portion of the track (s) loc ated within the Crossing
Area, the Political Body shall, at its own expense, conform the Roadway to conform with the change of grade of the trackage.
SECTION 7. REARRANGEMENT OF WARNING DEVICES
If the change or rearrangement of any warning device installed hereunder is neces
sitated for public or Railroad convenience or on account of improvements for either the Railroad, highway or both, the parties will apportion the expense incidental thereto between themselves by negotiation, agreement or by the order of a competent authority before the change or rearrangement is undertaken.
SECTION 8. SAFE
TY MEASURES; PROTECTION
OF RAILROAD COMPANY OPERATIONS
It is understood and recognized that safety and continuity of the Railroad's operations and communications are of the utmost importance; and in order that the
4 same may be adequately safeguarded, protected and assured, and in order that accidents may be prevented and avoided, it is agreed with respect to all of said work of the Political Body that the work will be performed in a safe manner and in conformity with the following standards:
A. Definitions. All references in this Agreement to the Political Body shall also include the Contractor and their respective officers, agents and employees, and others acting under its or their authority; and all references in this Agreement to work of the Political Body shall include work both within and outside of the Railroad’s property.
B. Entry on to Railroad's Property by Political Body . If the Political Body's employees need to enter Railroad's property in order to perform an inspection of the Roadway, minor maintenance or other activities, the Political Body shall first provide at least ten (10) working days advance notice to the Railroad Representative. With respect to such entry on to Railroad’s property, the Political Body, to the extent permitted by law, agrees to release, defend and indemnify the Railroad from and against any loss, damage, injury, liability, claim, cost or expense incurred by any person including, without limitation, the Political Body’s employees, or damage to any property or equipment (collectively the “Loss”) that arises from the presence or activities of Political Body’s employees on Railroad’s property, except to the extent that any Loss is caused by the sole direct negligence of Railroad.
C. Flagging.
(i) If the Political Body's employees need to enter Railroad's property as provided in Paragraph B above, the Political Body agrees to notify the Railroad Representative at least thirty (30) working days in advance of proposed performance of any work by Political Body in which any person or equipment will be within twenty -five (25) feet of any track, or will be near enough to any track that any equipment extension (such as, but not limited to, a crane boom) will reach to within twenty-five (25) feet of any track. No w ork of any kind shall be performed, and no person, equipment, machinery, tool(s), material(s), vehicle(s), or thing(s) shall be located, operated, placed, or stored within twenty-five (25) feet of any of Railroad's track(s) at any time, for any reason, unless and until a Railroad flagman is provided to watch for trains. Upon receipt of such thirty (30) day notice, the Railroad Representative will determine and inform Political Body whether a flagman need be present and whether Political Body needs to implement any special protective or safety measures. If flagging or other special protective or safety measures are performed by Railroad, Railroad will bill Political Body for such expenses incurred by Railroad. If Railroad performs any flagging, or other special protective or safety measures are performed by Railroad, Political Body agrees that Political Body is not relieved of any of its responsibilities or liabilities set forth in this Agreement.
(ii) The rate of pay per hour for each flagman 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
5 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 Railroad 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. I f the wage rate or additional charges are changed, Political Body shall pay on the basis of the new rates and charges.
(iii) Reimbursement to Railroad will be required covering the full eight-hour day during which any flagman is furnished, unless the flagman 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 flagman is engaged in other Railroad work. Reimbursement will also be required for any day not actually worked by the flagman following the flagman's assignment to work on the project for which Railroad is required to pay the flagman and which could not reasonably be avoided by Railroad by assignment of such flagman to other work, even though Political Body may not be working during such time. When it becomes necessary for Railroad to bulletin and assign an employee to a flagging position in compliance with union collective bargaining agreements, Political Body must provide Railroad a minimum of five (5) days notice prior to the cessation of the need for a flagman. If five (5) days notice of cessation is not given, Political Body will still be required to pay flagging charges for the five (5) day notice period required by union agreement to be given to the employee, even though flagging is not required for that period. An additional thirty (30) days notice must then be given to Railroad if flagging services are needed again after such five day cessation notice has been given to Railroad.
D. Compliance With Laws . The Political Body shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations and enactments affecting the work. The Political Body shall use only such methods as are consistent with safety, both as concerns the Political Body, the Political Body's agents and employees, the officers, agents, employees and property of the Railroad and the public in general. The Political Body (without limiting the generality of the foregoing) shall comply with all applicable state and federal occupational safety and health acts and regulations. All Federal Railroad Administration regulations shall be followed when work is performed on the Railroad's premises. If any failure by the Political Body to comply with any such laws, regulations, and enactments, shall result in any fine, penalty, cost or charge being assessed, imposed or charged against the Railroad, the Political Body shall reimburse, and to the extent it may lawfully do so, indemnify the Railroad for any such fine, penalty, cost, or charge, including without limitation attorney's fees, court costs and expenses.
The Political Body further agrees in the event of any such action, upon notice thereof being provided by the Railroad, to defend such action free of cost, charge, or expense to the Railroad.
6 E. No Interference or Delays. The Political Body shall not do, suffer or permit anything which will or may obstruct, endanger, interfere with, hinder or delay maintenance or operation of the Railroad's tracks or facilities, or any communication or signal lines, installations or any appurtenances thereof, or the operations of others lawfully occupying or using the Railroad's property or facilities.
F. Supervision. The Political Body, at its own expense, shall adequately police and supervise all work to be performed by the Political Body, and shall not inflict injury to persons or damage to property for the safety of whom or of which the Railroad may be responsible, or to property of the Railroad. The responsibility of the Political Body for safe conduct and adequate policing and supervision of the Project shall not be lessened or otherwise affected by the Railroad's approval of plans and specifications, or by the Railroad's collaboration in performance of any work, or by the presence at the work site of the Railroad's representatives, or by compliance by the Political Body with any requests or recommendations made by such representatives. If a representative of the Railroad is assigned to the Project, the Political Body will give due consideration to suggestions and recommendations made by such representative for the safety and protection of the Railroad's property and operations.
G. Suspension of Work. If at any time the Political Body's engineers or the Vice President-Engineering Services of the Railroad or their respective representatives shall be of the opinion that any work of the Political Body is being or is about to be done or prosecuted without due regard and precaution for safety and security, the Political Body shall immediately suspend the work until suitable, adequate and proper protective measures are adopted and provided.
H. Removal of Debris. The Political Body shall not cause, suffer or permit material or debris to be deposited or cast upon, or to slide or fall upon any property or facilities of the Railroad; and any such material and debris shall be promptly removed from the Railroad's property by the Political Body at the Political Body's own expense or by the Railroad at the expense of the Political Body. The Political Body shall not cause, suffer or permit any snow to be plowed or cast upon the Railroad's property during snow removal from the Crossing Area.
I. Explosives. The Political Body shall not discharge any explosives on or in the vicinity of the Railroad's property without the prior consent of the Railroad's Vice President-Engineering Services, which shall not be given if, in the sole discretion of the Railroad's Vice President-Engineering Services, such discharge would be dangerous or would interfere with the Railroad's property or facilities. For the purposes hereof, the "vicinity of the Railroad's property" shall be deemed to be any place on the Railroad's property or in such close proximity to the Railroad's property that the discharge of explosives could cause injury to the Railroad's employees or other persons, or cause damage to or interference with the facilities or operations on the Railroad's property.
The Railroad reserves the right to impose such conditions, restrictions or limitations on the transportation, handling, storage, security and use of explosives as the Railroad, in the Railroad's sole discretion, may deem to be necessary, desirable or appropriate.
7 J. Excavation. The Political Body shall not excavate from existing slopes nor construct new slopes which are excessive and may create hazards of slides or falling rock, or impair or endanger the clearance between existing or new slopes and the tracks of the Railroad. The Political Body shall not do or cause to be done any work which will or may disturb the stability of any area or adversely affect the Railroad's tracks or facilities. The Political Body, at its own expense, shall install and maintain adequ ate shoring and cribbing for all excavation and/or trenching performed by the Political Body in connection with construction, maintenance or other work. The shoring and cribbing shall be constructed and maintained with materials and in a manner approved by the Railroad's Assistant Vice President Engineering - Design to withstand all stresses likely to be encountered, including any stresses resulting from vibrations caused by the Railroad's operations in the vicinity.
K. Drainage. The Political Body, at the Political Body's own expense, shall provide and maintain suitable facilities for draining the Roadway and its appurtenances, and shall not suffer or permit drainage water therefrom to flow or collect upon property of the Railroad. The Political Body, at the Political Body's own expense, shall provide adequate passageway for the waters of any streams, bodi es of water and drainage facilities (either natural or artificial, and including water from the Railroad's culver t and drainage facilities), so that said waters may not, because of any facilities or work of the Political Body, be impeded, obstructed, diverted or caused to back up, overflow or damage the property of the Railroad or any part thereof, or property of others. The Political Body shall not obstruct or interfere with existing ditches or drainage facilities.
L. Notice. Before commencing any work, the Political Body shall provide the advance notice to the Railroad that is required under the Contractor's Right of Entry Agreement.
M. Fiber Optic Cables. Fiber optic cable systems may be buried on the Railroad's 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. Political Body shall visit up.com/CBUD to complete and submit the required form to determine if fiber optic cable is buried anywhere on Railroad's property to be used by the Political Body. If it is, Political Body will telephone the telecommunications company(ies) involved, arrange for a cable locator, and make arrangements for relocation or other protection of the fiber optic cable prior to beginning any work on the Railroad's premises.
SECTION 9. INTERIM WARNING DEVICES

EXHIBIT A
TO
CONTRACTOR’S RIGHT OF ENTRY AGREEMENT
Exhibit A will be a print showing the general location of the work site.
1 EXHIBIT B
TO
CONTRACTOR'S RIGHT OF ENTRY AGREEMENT
Section 1. NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT OF WORK - RAILROAD FLAGGING - PRIVATE FLAGGING.
A. Contractor agrees to notify the Railroad Representative at least ten (10) working days in advance of Contractor commencing its Work and at least thirty (30) working days in advance of proposed performance of any Work by Contractor in which any person or equipment will be within twenty-five (25) feet of any track, or will be near enough to any track that any equipment extension (such as, but not limited to, a crane boom) will reach to within twenty-five (25) feet of any track.
B. No work of any kind shall be performed, and no person, equipment, machinery, tool(s), material(s), vehicle(s), or thing(s) shall be located, operated, placed, or stored within twenty-five (25) feet of any of Railroad's track(s) at any time, for any reason, unless and until a Railroad approved flagman is provided to watch for trains. Upon receipt of such thirty (30) -day notice, the Railroad Representative will determine and inform Contractor whether a flagman need be present and whether Contractor needs to implement any special protective or safety measures.
C. Contractor shall be permitted to hire a private contractor to perform flagging or other special protective or safety measures (such private contractor being commonly known in the railroad industry as a contractor-in-charge (“CIC”)) in lieu of Railroad providing such services or in concert with Railroad providing such services, subject to prior written approval by Railroad, which approval shall be in Railroad’s sole and absolute discretion. If Railroad agrees to permit Contractor to utilize a CIC pursuant to the preceding sentence, Contractor shall obtain Railroad’s prior approval in writing for each of the following items, as determined in all respects in Railroad’s sole and absolute discretion: (i) the identity of the third-party performing the role of CIC; (ii) the scope of the services to be performed for the project by the approved CIC; and (iii) any other terms and conditions governing such services to be provided by the CIC. If flagging or other special protective or safety measures are performed by an approved CIC, Contractor shall be solely responsible for (and shall timely pay such CIC for) its services. Railroad reserves the right to rescind any approval pursuant to this Section 1, Subsection C., in whole or in part, at any time, as determined in Railroad’s sole and absolute discretion.
D. If any flagging or other special protective or safety measures are performed by employees of Railroad and/or any contractor of Railroad, Railroad will bill Contractor for such expenses incurred by Railroad, unless Railroad and a federal, state or local governmental entity have agreed that Railroad is to bill such expenses to the federal, state or local governmental entity. If Railroad will be sending the bills to Contractor, Contractor shall pay such bills within thirty (30) days of Contractor's receipt of billing.
E. If any flagging or other special protective or safety measures are performed by Railroad or a CIC, Contractor agrees that Contractor is not relieved of any of its responsibilities or liabilities set forth in this agreement.
F. The provisions set forth in this subsection are only applicable for Flagging Services performed by employees of Railroad: the rate of pay per hour for each flagman 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
2 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 Railroad 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, Contractor (or the governmental entity, as applicable) shall pay on the basis of the new rates and charges. If flagging is performed by Railroad, reimbursement to Railroad will be required covering the full eight-hour day during which any flagman is furnished, unless the flagman 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 flagman is engaged in other Railroad work. Reimbursement will also be required for any day not actually worked by the flagman following the flagman's assignment to work on the project for which Railroad is required to pay the flagman and which could not reasonably be avoided by Railroad by assignment of such flagman to other work, even though Contractor may not be working during such time. When it becomes necessary for Railroad to bulletin and assign an employee to a flagging position in compliance with union collective bargaining agreements, Contractor must provide Railroad a minimum of five (5) days notice prior to the cessation of the need for a flagman. If five (5) days notice of cessation is not given, Contractor will still be required to pay flagging charges for the five (5) day notice period required by union agreement to be given to the employee, even though flagging is not required for that period.
An additional thirty (30) days notice must then be given to Railroad if flagging services are needed again after such five-day cessation notice has been given to Railroad.
Section 2. LIMITATION AND SUBORDINATION OF RIGHTS GRANTED
A. The foregoing grant of right is subject and subordinate to the prior and continuing right and obligation of the Railroad to use and maintain its entire property including the right and power of Railroad to construct, maintain, repair, renew, use, operate, change, modify or relocate railroad tracks, roadways, 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 Railroad without liability to Contractor or to any other party for compensation or damages.
B. The foregoing grant is also subject to all outstanding superior rights (whether recorded or unrecorded and including those in favor of licensees and lessees of Railroad's property, and others) and the right of Railroad to renew and extend the same, and is made without covenant of title or for quiet enjoyment.
Section 3. NO INTERFERENCE WITH OPERATIONS OF RAILROAD AND ITS TENANTS.
A. Contractor shall conduct its operations so as not to interfere with the continuous and uninterrupted use and operation of the railroad tracks and property of Railroad, including without limitation, the operations of Railroad's lessees, licensees or others, unless specifically authorized in advance by the Railroad Representative.
Nothing shall be done or permitted to be done by Contractor at any time that would in any manner impair the safety of such operations. When not in use, Contractor's machinery and materials shall be kept at least twenty- five (25) feet from the centerline of Railroad's nearest track, and there shall be no vehicular crossings of Railroads tracks except at existing open public crossings.
B. Operations of Railroad and work performed by Railroad personnel and delays in the Work to be performed by Contractor caused by such railroad operations and Work are expected by Contractor, and Contractor agrees that Railroad shall have no liability to Contractor, or any other person or entity for any such delays. The Contractor shall coordinate its activities with those of Railroad and third parties so as to avoid interference with railroad operations. The safe operation of Railroad train movements and other activities by Railroad takes precedence over any Work to be performed by Contractor.
3 Section 4. LIENS.
Contractor shall pay in full all persons who perform labor or provide materials for the Work to be performed by Contractor. Contractor shall not create, permit or suffer any mechanic's or materialmen's liens of any kind or nature to be created or enforced against any property of Railroad for any such Work performed. Contractor shall indemnify and hold harmless Railroad from and against any and all liens, claims, demands, costs or expenses of whatsoever nature in any way connected with or growing out of such Work done, labor performed, or materials furnished. If Contractor fails to promptly cause any lien to be released of record, Railroad may, at its election, discharge the lien or claim of lien at Contractor's expense.
Section 5. PROTECTION OF FIBER OPTIC CABLE SYSTEMS.
A. Fiber optic cable systems may be buried on Railroad's 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. Contractor shall visit www.up.com/CBUD to complete and submit the required form to determine if fiber optic cable is buried anywhere on Railroad's property to be used by Contractor. If it is, Contractor will telephone the telecommunications company(ies) involved, make arrangements for a cable locator and, if applicable, for relocation or other protection of the fiber optic cable. Contractor shall not commence any Work until all such protection or relocation (if applicable) has been accomplished.
B. IN ADDITION TO OTHER INDEMNITY PROVISIONS IN THIS AGREEMENT, CONTRACTOR
SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD RAILROAD HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ALL COSTS,
LIABILITY AND EXPENSE WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ATTORNEYS' FEES,

INJURY TO OR DEATH OF ANY PERSON EMPLOY ED BY OR ON BEHALF OF ANY
TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANY, AND/OR ITS CONTRACTOR, AGENTS AND/OR EMPLOYEES, ON RAILROAD'S PROPERTY. CONTRACTOR SHALL NOT HAVE OR SEEK RECOURSE AGAINST RAILROAD
FOR ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION FOR ALLEGED LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE OR LOSS OF
SERVICE OR OTHER CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE TO A TELECOMMUNICATION COMPANY USING
