MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Dave Klotzle, City Engineer/Public Works Director
DATE: September 11, 2012 (CC Meeting of 09119/12)
SUBJECT: Consider Agreement for Construction and Maintenance of the
Railroad Crossing Improvements at Spring Road (Project 8039)
BACKGROUND
On July 19, 2006, the City Council approved the conceptual design for the railroad
crossing improvements at Spring Road including widening of the road between the tracks
and Princeton Avenue. Authorization to prepare the project's environmental document
and final design was given at the same meeting. On November 7, 2007, the City Council
adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project.
On June 15, 2011, the City Council adopted resolution 2011-3041 amending the project
budget to increase the Los Angeles Avenue Area of Contribution, Fund 2501, funding to
approximately$1,700,000.
DISCUSSION
The project consists of railroad crossing and road widening improvements on Spring
Road south of the Princeton Avenue and High Street intersection as shown on the
attached project plan. In conformance with current railroad crossing safety requirements
of the Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA) and the California Public
Utilities Commission (CPUC), the improvements include vehicle gates across the entire
road width on both sides of the tracks, and pedestrian safety gates and walkways on both
sides of the road and tracks as well. A new raised median with stamped concrete is
required to accommodate the vehicle gates. The road widening improvements will result
in two northbound through lanes, one north-to-west left-turn lane, one north-to-east right-
turn lane, two southbound lanes and bike lanes on both sides of the street.

The necessary right-of-way and temporary construction easement for the northbound
right-turn lane has been acquired from the Conoco-Phillips 76 service station property.
Driveway, sidewalk, landscaping and traffic signal pole relocation are included in the
improvements in this area.
The project design was prepared by the City's consultant to an approximately ninety
percent (90%) level of completion in coordination with the SCRRA and the CPUC.
SCRRA and their consultants have completed the project design and will manage the
contracting for construction and inspection of the improvements. The City must enter
into a Construction and Maintenance Agreement with SCRRA to implement the project.
FISCAL IMPACT
In the June 15, 2011 staff report to City Council, the total project cost including design,
construction and inspection was estimated to be $3,000,000. Since that time, the total
project cost estimate has risen to approximately $4,500,000 due to railroad crossing
safety and communication improvements required by SCRRA and CPUC. SCRRA has
secured $1,100,000 in funding for this project and is in the process of securing the
remaining funding.
The Construction and Maintenance Agreement required by SCRRA for the project
includes provisions for the City to contribute the previously budgeted $1,700,000 to the
project.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City Manager to execute the Construction and Maintenance Agreement
with SCRRA for the Railroad Crossing Improvements at Spring Road subject to final
language approval by the City Manager and the City Attorney.
