EXHIBIT B
TO
CONTRACTOR'S RIGHT OF ENTRY AGREEMENT
Section 1. NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT OF WORK-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. 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 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.
If flagging or other special protective or safety measures are performed by 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. If Railroad performs any flagging, or other special protective or
safety measures are performed by Railroad,Contractor agrees that Contractor is not relieved of any of its responsibilities or liabilities
set forth in this Agreement.
B. 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 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.
C. 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.

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 fifty (50) 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

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 telephone Railroad during normal business hours (7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Central Time, Monday through Friday,
except holidays) at 1-800-336-9193 (also a 24-hour, 7-day number for emergency calls) 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, court costs and
expenses)arising out of any act or omission of Contractor,its agents and/or employees,that causes or contributes to(1)any damage to
or destruction of any telecommunications system on Railroad's property,and/or(2)any injury to or death of any person employed 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 Railroad's property or a customer or user of services of the
fiber optic cable on Railroad's property.

COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 12/15/2015 - Resolution No. 4551-12-2015
DATE: 12/15/2015 REFERENCE NO.: **G-18621 LOG NAME: 20WINNIE ST.
CLOSURE
CODE: G TYPE: CONSENT PUBLIC NO
HEARING:
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution to Close a Portion of Winnie Street Between Old Handley Road and
Rosedale Street at the Union Pacific Railroad Tracks, Authorize Funding in the Amount of
$16,943.00 for Quiet Zone Calculations and Necessary Documentation for the Winnie
Street Group of Railroad Crossings and Authorize Notice of Intent for the Winnie Street
Quiet Zone Group, Authorize Crossing Closure Agreement with the Union Pacific Railroad
to Close the Winnie Street Railroad Crossing to Traffic and Accept Future Reimbursement
to the City in the Amount Up to $20,000.00 for the Installation of Barricades and Other
Closure Expenses (COUNCIL DISTRICT 5)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached resolution to close the 1200 Block of Winnie Street between Old Handley Road and
Rosedale Street to prevent traffic from crossing the railroad tracks;
2. Authorize funding in the amount of$16,943.00 for quiet zone calculations and necessary documentation
for the Winnie Street Group of railroad crossings and authorize issuance of a Notice of Intent for the Winnie
Street closure and quiet zone group so the City of Fort Worth can receive quiet zone credit for the
permanent closure of the Winnie Street crossing; and
3. Authorize the execution of a Crossing Closure Agreement with the Union Pacific Railroad to close the
Winnie Street railroad crossing to traffic and provide a mechanism through which the Union Pacific Railroad
will reimburse the City up to $20,000.00 for the installation of barricades and other closure expenses.
DISCUSSION:
This portion of Winnie Street includes the railroad crossing which has a history of at least three accidents in
the last ten years. The Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) has repeatedly requested to close the roadway and
crossing for safety reasons. In addition, the Winnie Street crossing is one of six crossings included in a
quiet zone project currently underway along this portion of the UPRR line. Based on this information and
because closure of a crossing is the Federal Railroad Administration's preferred method of qualifying for a
quiet zone installation, the TPW-Railroad Safety Program has decided to pursue a closure of this crossing
and the portions of Winnie Street on either side of it. The Railroad Safety Program sought and received
approval from the City of Fort Worth Police Department and the City of Fort Worth Fire Department.
A public meeting was held on June 17, 2014 which resulted in approval from the surrounding
neighborhoods. On September 24, 2014, the City Plan Commission also recommended approval of this
roadway/crossing closure.
In order for the City of Fort Worth to receive credit for the crossing closure (for a future at-grade crossing),
Staff recommends that a Railroad Crossing Quiet Zone Study be performed by CTC, Inc., under Contract
No. 46712.
