CITY COUNCIL MEMO
SUBJECT: Item 2020-0413 Approval of a Railroad Crossing and Maintenance
Agreement and an Easement Agreement with the Arkansas and Missouri
Railroad for a new railroad crossing at Shiloh Drive and Gregg Avenue,
Approval of a Budget Adjustment for Costs Related to the New Crossing,
and Approval of a Project Contingency of $ 32,892.43, for a Total Budget of
$750,000.
RECOMMENDATION:
This item was tabled indefinitely at the June 41", 2020 City Council Meeting pending resolution of
questions from the City Council regarding closing the crossing at University Avenue and regarding
the economic benefit of the proposed crossing These questions were researched by staff;
responses to the questions are detailed in the discussion section below. Staff recommends
placing this item back on the City Council for the August 4, 2020 meeting.
Staff recommends approval of a New Railroad Crossing Cost and Maintenance Agreement and
an Easement Agreement with the Arkansas and Missouri Railroad (AMRR) for a new railroad
crossing near Shiloh Drive and Gregg Avenue. Staff also recommends approval of the budget
adjustment to fund the cost of the railroad crossing agreement and associated costs of roadway
and traffic signal modifications to complete the railroad crossing, including a contingency of
$32,892.43. Total project cost including contingency is $750,000.
BACKGROUND:
The extension of Shiloh Drive has long been on the City's Master Street Plan, to provide an
additional access to approximately 130 acres of undeveloped property west of the railroad
tracks and south of Van Asche Drive. This project was identified as a priority project in the 2019
bond program, as opportunities to partner with developers of the property arose. The connection
will provide a more direct access from the property to the Fulbright Expressway, and will include
pedestrian facilities to allow for safe crossings at the railroad and Gregg Avenue.
DISCUSSION:
AMRR has presented two agreements to the City. The first, a New Railroad Crossing and
Maintenance Agreement, addresses terms of the construction and maintenance of the crossing,
including:
Mailing Address:
113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov
Fayetteville, AR 72701
• The City will reimburse the AMRR for the full cost of labor and materials for installation of
the crossing signal, panels, and appurtenances necessary for a fully operational
crossing. The estimated cost of the crossing installation is $558,082.57.
• The City agrees to close the existing unimproved crossing at Gregg Avenue and
University Avenue.
• The City will pay a yearly maintenance fee of $7,500, increasing by 2% per annum, for
basic maintenance and wear and tear.
• The City and the AMRR agree to equally share the cost of repairs or major maintenance.
The second, an Easement Agreement, establishes the terms of the City's perpetual use of the
AMRR property for the crossing. The most significant item in this contract is a requirement to
maintain insurance in the amount of $15 million.
In addition to these agreements, construction of the roadway connection from the railroad to
Gregg Avenue and modification of the signal to accommodate the 4th leg of the intersection and
connect to the railroad signal are the responsibility of the City. The estimated cost of these
improvements is $159,025. Finally, a contingency of $32,892.43 is recommended for
unforeseen costs of the railroad crossing and/or the roadway/signal work.
The City Council raised concerns at the June 4th meeting, and asked staff to seek revisions to
the contract with AMRR to remove or revise the stipulation that the University Avenue crossing
be closed. This item was discussed with AMRR, and they are not interested in revising that
provision in the contract. As alternative, staff has researched the feasibility of creating a
pedestrian/bicycle connection from the end of University Avenue to Hill Avenue, thereby
creating a safe connection from residential areas to services to the south.
Secondly, the City Council questioned the need for this crossing, and asked about economic
benefits. At this time, a proposed apartment development consisting of over 2000 units is
planned for the 40 acre parcel at the corner of Van Asche and Gregg Avenue, that would
directly access the proposed crossing. A master plan for the surrounding properties indicates a
mix of development types that would provide a range of housing, services, and employment
opportunities.
The City will begin to recapture of the cost of the rail road crossing during construction of the
apartment development. This single housing project has the potential to provide sales tax
revenue to recapture the remaining portion of the City's expenditure in as few as nine months
once opened and units are occupied. This time frame could be expedited if other components of
the master plan, such as restaurants, or employment opportunities begin development or are
announced during the first year.
BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:
As noted above, the total project estimate is:
Agreement with AMRR: $558,082.57
Roadway/signal work: $159,025
Contingency: $32,892.43
Total: $750,000
Funding for this work will come from the 2019 Transportation Bond Program. The original
allocation in Phase 1 was $1 million for two proposed signal crossings; the total for the two is
now estimated at $1.5 million; the additional $1.5 million will come from contingency funds set
aside in Phase 1 of the Bond Program.

MEETING OF AUGUST 4, 2020
TO: Mayor and City Council
THRU: Susan Norton, Chief of Staff
Garner Stoll, Development Services Director
FROM: Chris Brown, City Engineer
DATE: July 21, 2020
CITY COUNCIL MEMO
SUBJECT: Item 2020-0414 Approval of a Railroad Crossing and Maintenance
Agreement and an Easement Agreement with the Arkansas and Missouri
Railroad for a new railroad crossing at Futrall Drive and Gregg Avenue,
Approval of a Budget Adjustment for Costs Related to the New Crossing,
and Approval of a Project Contingency of $ 28,344.86, for a Total Budget of
$750,000.
RECOMMENDATION:
This item was tabled indefinitely at the June 4'h, 2020 City Council Meeting pending resolution of
questions from the City Council regarding the economic benefit of the proposed crossing These
questions were researched by staff; responses to the questions are detailed in the discussion
section below. Staff recommends placing this item back on the City Council for the August 4,
2020 meeting.
Staff recommends approval of a New Railroad Crossing Cost and Maintenance Agreement and
an Easement Agreement with the Arkansas and Missouri Railroad (AMRR) for a new railroad
crossing near Shiloh Drive and Gregg Avenue. Staff also recommends approval of the budget
adjustment to fund the cost of the railroad crossing agreement and associated costs of roadway
and traffic signal modifications to complete the railroad crossing, including a contingency of
$28,344.86. Total project cost including contingency is $750,000.
BACKGROUND:
The extension of Futrall Drive has long been on the City's Master Street Plan, to provide an
additional access to approximately 150 acres of undeveloped property west of the railroad
tracks, east of Garland Avenue, and north of Drake Street. This project was identified as a
priority project in the 2019 bond program, as opportunities to partner with developers of the
property arose. The connection will provide a more direct access from the property to the
Fulbright Expressway, and will include pedestrian facilities to allow for safe crossings at the
railroad and Gregg Avenue.
DISCUSSION:
AMRR has presented two agreements to the City. The first, a New Railroad Crossing and
Maintenance Agreement, addresses terms of the construction and maintenance of the crossing,
including:
Mailing Address:
113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov
Fayetteville, AR 72701
• The City will reimburse the AMRR for the full cost of labor and materials for installation of
the crossing signal, panels, and appurtenances necessary for a fully operational
crossing. The estimated cost of the crossing installation is $519,179.14.
• The City agrees to close the existing unimproved crossing at Garrett Dr. and Gregg
Avenue.
• The City will pay a yearly maintenance fee of $7,500, increasing by 2% per annum, for
basic maintenance and wear and tear.
• The City and the AMRR agree to equally share the cost of repairs or major maintenance.
The second, an Easement Agreement, establishes the terms of the City's perpetual use of the
AMRR property for the crossing. The most significant item in this contract is a requirement to
maintain insurance in the amount of $15 million.
In addition to these agreements, construction of the roadway connection from the railroad to
Gregg Avenue and modification of the traffic signal to accommodate the 4th leg of the
intersection and connect to the railroad signal are the responsibility of the City. The estimated
cost of these improvements is $202,476. Finally, a contingency of $28,344.86 is recommended
for unforeseen costs of the railroad crossing and/or the roadway/signal work.
The property developer was not prepared to share details of their development plan when this
item was last presented, but has since provided conceptual plans totaling over $150 Million in
construction for phase 1 of their development, including a mixture of residential,
restaurant/retail, and an anchor employer that would employ almost 1,000 employees. If these
plans are developed to completion as proposed, the cost of the railroad crossing would be
recovered by tax receipts from the construction alone, resulting in net profit to the City's tax
base beginning in the first year post construction.
BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:
As noted above, the total project estimate is:
Agreement with AMRR: $519,179.14
Roadway/signal work: $202,476
Contingency: $28,344.86
Total: $750,000
Funding for this work will come from the 2019 Transportation Bond Program. The original
allocation in Phase 1 was $1 million for two proposed signal crossings; the total for the two is
now estimated at $1.5 million; the additional $1.5 million will come from contingency funds set
aside in Phase 1 of the Bond Program.

NEW RAILROAD CROSSING COST
AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT
This Agreement, made and entered into this _ day of , 2020, by and between the City
of Fayetteville, Arkansas (hereinafter "City") and The Arkansas & Missouri Railroad
Company,(hereinafter "AMRR"),
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, City is in the process of planning a new crossing at Futrall Drive within the City
limits at railroad milepost 349.45. The City proposes, for the benefit of the public, to add this
crossing, pursuant to the Site Layout attached as Exhibit 1, and remove in its entirety, existing crossing
at Garrett Drive; and
WHEREAS, it is understood that the contemplated crossing will be financed solely from funds
appropriated by City and expended under its regulations.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements contained in this
agreement, subject to the provisions of the recitals above, it is agreed by and between the parties hereto as
follows:
1. AMRR has provided an estimate for the cost of the crossing upgrade which is attached as
Exhibit 2. This estimate does not include any track or railroad work required during utility installation -
which is not subject to estimation at this time. The parties understand that the estimate is $519,179.14 and
the parties acknowledge that the ultimate cost of the crossing could be under or over this estimate. Both
parties further acknowledge that any materials or crossing equipment supplied by the City shall be
considered a part of the consideration of this agreement. Upon final completion of the project, all said
materials and crossing equipment shall become the property of AMRR.
2. AMRR shall be reimbursed 100% of the actual approved cost (labor and material) for
installing the new equipment and its invoices will be paid promptly. Material will be billed as it is ordered
by AMRR. The City acknowledges that any work within 25 feet of the tracks requires a Flagging
Services Agreement for railroad track protection, including, but not limited to, railroad flagging which is
charged at the rate of $95 per hour. A Flagging Services Agreement will be executed
simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement.
3. Insurance. During upgrade construction, City shall ensure that any contractors they
employ to perform work on the project in question will maintain a general liability insurance policy, the
limits of which will be not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) per person, Five Million
Dollars ($5,000,000) per accident and Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) for property damage. The
policy shall name AMRR, its successor or assigns and City as insureds. Such policy shall contain a
clause that the insurer will not cancel or change the insurance without giving AMRR, City, or their
successors or assigns ten (10) days prior written notice, and a certificate of such insurance shall be
delivered to AMRR prior to the inception of the construction of the crossing.
4. Maintenance and Repairs. The parties acknowledge that the crossing and equipment will
require maintenance and repairs due to normal wear and tear and possibly damage from accidents,
negligence or acts of nature. The City will not be liable for any damages caused solely by the negligence
of AMRR. If damages are caused to the crossing and/or equipment by the acts of 31 parties, AMRR and
the City will coordinate to pursue any cause of action against said 3' parties to recover the costs of repairs
and any amount recovered will be applied accordingly. City will pay an annual crossing maintenance fee
of $7,500 effective upon execution of this Agreement and on each anniversary date thereafter for so long
as the crossing remains open. On each anniversary date, the annual maintenance fee will increase by 2%.
The annual maintenance fee will cover regulatory testing, basic maintenance and general wear and tear.
Otherwise, City and AMRR will each be responsible for 50% of any capital expenditures for the
equipment and the crossing surface. Except for emergency repairs, AMRR will give the City one hundred
eighty (180) day written notice of any needed repairs or maintenance and the amount thereof. The
crossing shall be maintained as specified above until such time as the parties mutually agree otherwise or
upon a date certain that the crossing should be closed.
5. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties
with respect to its subject matter and may not be modified or amended orally.
6. Governing Law. This Agreement she be construed in accordance with and governed by
the laws of the State of Arkansas.
7. Binding Effect The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of each of the parties and their respective heirs, successors and assigns.

plans and specifications to be agreed upon by the parties; and
WHEREAS, the Easement is defined on Exhibit 1 and incorporated herein by
reference; and
WHEREAS, it is understood that the contemplated crossing will be financed from
funds appropriated by City and expended under its regulations as established under the
terms of a Crossing Agreement executed separately by the parties.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements contained

these requirements and restrictions contained in the plans, specifications, coordination
notes and the separate Crossing Cost Agreement.
2. AMRR has provided an estimate for the cost of the crossing. The parties
understand that the estimate is $519,179.14 and the parties acknowledge that the

Page 1 of 5
4. After completion of the project, the Parties shall bear the expense of the
maintenance, inspection, capital costs and operation of the crossing per the terms of the
separate Crossing Agreement or any amendment thereto, so long as it is to be
maintained as a crossing over the railroad or until it is mutually agreed between the
parties that the project is no longer needed at the crossing or until the crossing is
abandoned by AMRR or City, or other legal requirements making it necessary to cease
operations and maintenance of the project. At that time, materials purchased and
installed for the project may be moved to other locations on AMRR's lines within the
States of Arkansas or Missouri or otherwise disposed of or sold by AMRR.
5. Limitation on Grant. This Easement does not grant to City the subsurface

damage to property, in any manner arising from or during the construction of the
improvements contemplated by this agreement, however, such injury, death, loss,
damage or destruction as aforesaid may occur or be caused. The CITY OF
FAYETTEVILLE shall further cause any contractor engaged by it to construct the
improvements contemplated by this agreement to indemnify and save and hold harmless
the ARKANSAS & MISSOURI RAILROAD COMPANY from any and all claims, demands,

approval of AMRR and shall provide for notice to AMRR not less than 30 days of
