PREPARED BY: Travis K. Hopkins, PE, Director of Public Works
Subiect:
Approve and authorize execution of a Wireline Crossing Agreement with the Union Pacific
Railroad Company for the installation of traffic signal communication conduit on Center
Avenue (CC-1489)
Statement of Issue:
On May 20, 2019, the City Council awarded a construction contract for the traffic signal modification
at the intersection of Gothard Street and Center Avenue. This project includes the installation of a
traffic signal communication conduit under the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) tracks at Center
Avenue which will require the execution of a Wireline Crossing Agreement with the Union Pacific
Railroad Company.
Financial Impact:
No fiscal impact.
Recommended Action:
Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a "Wireline Crossing Agreement" at Mile
Post 519.28, Stanton Industrial Lead, between the Union Pacific Railroad Company and the City of
Huntington Beach.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not authorize approval of the Wireline Crossing Agreement and provide direction to staff to amend
terms of the agreement.
Analysis:
The City applied for and subsequently received grant funding for a traffic signal modification under
the Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). The intersection of Gothard Street and
Center Avenue was identified for the installation of north-south left turn arrows based on the recent
collision history. The project also included the installation of traffic signal communication conduit and
cable in order to establish direct communication between the traffic signals along Center Avenue and

the City's Traffic Management Center located in City Hall. In order to complete this work, a conduit
must be installed under the Union Pacific Railroad tracks at Center Avenue.
The construction contract was awarded by the City Council on May 20, 2019.
In order to construct the traffic signal communication conduit under the railroad tracks, a Wireline
Crossing Agreement must be executed with the Union Pacific Railroad Company. This agreement
defines the construction requirements, legal requirements and fees assessed by the UPRR.
The total estimated project cost is $534,154 and was authorized by the City Council as part of the
project award on May 20, 2019. The Wireline Crossing Agreement charges were included in the
project funding approved on May 20, 2019, and therefore no additional funding is requested as part
of this action.
Public Works Commission Action:
Not applicable
Environmental Status:
This project is categorically exempt pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, Section
15303 (c).
Strategic Plan Goal:
Enhance and maintain infrastructure

shall inform Licensee if Safety Measures are required for performance of the work by Licensee or its

OF EXPENSES" Section of this Exhibit B. If Licensor performs any Safety Measures, Licensee agrees

take all suitable precaution to prevent interference(by induction,leakage of electricity,or otherwise)with
the operation of the signal, communication lines or other installations or facilities of Licensor or of its
tenants. If, at any time, the operation or maintenance of Licensee's Facilities results in any electrostatic
effects which Licensor deems undesirable or harmful, or causes interference with the operation of the

provided by Licensor and/or its tenants, Licensee shall, at the sole cost and expense of Licensee,
immediately modify or take action as may be necessary to eliminate such interference.

telephone Licensor during nonnal business hours(7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.Central Time, Monday through

determine if fiber optic cable is buried anywhere on Railroad Property to be used by Licensee. If it is,
Licensee shall telephone the telecommunications company(ies) involved,and arrange for a cable locator,
make arrangements for relocation or other protection of the fiber optic cable, all at Licensee's expense,
and will not commence any work on Railroad Property until all such protection or relocation has been
completed.
