SECTION 8. SAFETY 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
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. Flanning.
(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 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 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,
4
Public Highway At-Grade Crossing 03/01/13
Standard Forth Approved,AVP-Lew
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 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, 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,
5
Public Highway Al-Grade CroWng03/01/13
Standard Form Approved,AVP-Law
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.
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.

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 I
(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.
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.

nearest track,and there shall be no vehicular crossings of Railroads tracks except at existing open public crossings.

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

Contractor's expense.

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.
