contemplated by this project, upon and across RAILROAD's land and right -of-
way lying within twenty five (25) feet on either side of the centerline of a certain
box culvert referred to as RAI LROAD's bridge number AO 25-4, as depicted on
the print attached hereto as Exhibit "B ". The easement granted herein is limited
to the uses and purposes hereinbefore expressed and for no other purpose
whatever.
1. All such usage of RAILROAD's land and right -of -way pursuant to this
grant shall be subject to the approval, in advance, of RAILROAD's Vice

from the Vice President - Maintenance of the Railroad Company for the occupancy and use
of the Railroad's property and shall confer with the Railroad relative to requirements for
railroad clearances, operation and general safety regulations.
The Contractor shall, at all times, conduct his work in a manner satisfactory to the
Vice President - Maintenance of the Railroad Company, or his authorized representative,
and shall exercise care so as to not damage the property of the Railroad Company or to
interfere with the operations of the Railroad.
The Vice President - Maintenance of the Railroad Company, or his authorized
representative, will at all times have jurisdiction over the safety of railroad operations, and
the decision of the Vice President- Maintenance or his authorized representative as to
procedures which may affect the safety of railroad operations shall be final, and the

operations, and the Railroad Company deems it necessary to repair such damage or to
perform any work for the protection of its property, the required materials, labor and
equipment shall be furnished by the Railroad Company, and the Contractor shall
reimburse the Railroad Company for any costs so incurred.
PART B
If the Contractor requires the construction of a temporary grade crossing across
the track(s) of the Railroad for use during the construction of the improvement, the
Contractor shall make the necessary arrangements with the Railroad for the construction,
protection and later removal of such temporary grade crossing. The costs of such
temporary grade crossing construction, protection, maintenance and later removal shall
be promptly reimbursed to the Railroad on the basis of the Railroad's bills, to be
rendered monthly.
1 of 4
The Contractor shall at no time cross the Railroad's property or track(s) with
vehicles or equipment of any kind or character except at such temporary grade crossing
as may be constructed as outlined hereinabove, or at an existing and open public grade
crossing.
PART C
Any flagging protection or watchman services required by the Railroad for the
safety of railroad operations because of work being performed by the Contractor, or in
connection therewith, will be provided by the Railroad and the cost thereof shall be
reimbursed to the Railroad on the basis of the Railroad's bills, to be rendered monthly.
The requirements of the Railroad are as follows:
The services of at least one (1) and possibly two (2) watchmen or flagmen
will be required during: the excavation, placing and removal of cofferdams or
sheeting, driving of foundation piling and placing of the concrete footings for
piers adjacent to the track(s); construction and removal of any falsework,
bracing or forms over or adjacent to the track(s); construction or equipment
across the track; the setting or placing of beams or girders in the span(s)
over any track(s); any construction operations involving direct interference
with the Railroad's track(s) or traffic, fouling of railroad operating clearances
or reasonable probability of accidental hazard to railroad traffic; or whenever
men or equipment will be working within twenty -five (25) feet of the
centerline of any live track. If an existing bridge or other structure is to be
removed, the services of at least one (1) and possibly two (2) watchmen or
flagmen will be required during the removal of that portion of the existing
structure immediately over or adjacent to any track. Flagmen will also be
furnished whenever, in the opinion of the Railroad Company's Vice President -
Maintenance, such protection is needed.
In order that the Railroad may be prepared to furnish protective services, the
Contractor shall notify the Railroad Company seventy -two (72) hours in
advance of when the protective services will be needed.
PART Q
The rates of pay for the Railroad employees will be the prevailing railroad hourly
wage for an eight (8) hour day for the class of employee(s) involved during the regularly
assigned hours, overtime in accordance with any Labor Agreements and Schedules and
the Railroad's standard additives, all as in effect at the time the work is performed.
Wage rates are subject to change, at any time, by law or by agreement between

of an authorized Governmental Agency. If the wage rates are changed, the Contractor
shall pay on the basis of the new rates.
The Contractor will be required to reimburse, monthly, the Railroad for the costs
of all services performed by the Railroad for the Contractor, and furnish the State,
County, City or other owner satisfactory evidence that the Railroad has acknowledged
receipt of same before final settlement.
2 of 4
PART E
Before commencing any excavation which will encroach upon the finish slope line
as indicated on the print labeled 'Limits of Excavations Adjacent to Tracks" attached
hereto, the Contractor shall make adequate provision against sliding, shifting, sinking or
in any way disturbing the railroad embankment and track(s) adjacent to said culvert due
to said construction operations, by driving temporary sheeting in a manner satisfactory to
both the Owner's and Railroad's Engineers.
Before commencing any such work adjacent to any track, the Contractor shall
submit prints of the proposed sheeting and bracing details for the protection of the
Railroad Company's track(s) to the Owner's Engineer for his approval. This submittal
shall include the proposed method of installation and be accompanied by supporting data,
including design computations, logs of soil borings and other pertinent information.
After approval by the Owner's Engineer, two (2) sets of prints of the proposed
sheeting and bracing details bearing the seal of a registered structural or professional
engineer, registered in the state where the bridge is to be located, together with the
supporting documents, shall be forwarded to the Railroad's Engineer for review and
approval.
The Contractor shall notify the Railroad's Engineer in writing not less than seven
(7) days in advance of the proposed time of the beginning of the construction of the
culvert under or adjacent to the track(s).

his authorized representative, the culvert installation is being conducted in a manner
considered unsafe for railroad operations, the Contractor shall stop his operations and
immediately bulkhead the heading or make other such provisions as may be deemed
necessary to correct such undesirable conditions and, if, in the opinion of the Vice
President - Maintenance of the Railroad Company, or his authorized representative, such
provisions as made by the Contractor are not adequate to protect train operations or the
property of the Railroad Company, the Railroad Company shall with its own forces
proceed with the necessary work to correct conditions deemed undesirable or unsafe for
Railroad operations at the expense of the Contractor.
Construction or installation of the culvert or other structure shall be carried on in
such a manner that settlement and caving of the ground surface shall be avoided.

unavoidably disturbed. loosened or removed creating voids, the Contractor shall
immediately fill such voids to the satisfaction of opinion of the Vice President -
Maintenance of the Railroad Company, or his authorized representative. The filling of
such voids does not, however, relieve the Contractor of any responsibility due to any
settlement of the earth materials about and around the culvert or other structure.
