title
Request for approval to pay Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) to reimburse Benesch for engineering services related to review of engineering drawings related to Pathway Crossing of UPRR facilities in the vicinity of US 90A and Chimney Rock Road as part of the Barrier Free HCTRA Program in the amount of $35,000.00 (Precinct 1).

Background and Discussion:
All-electronic tolling systems are significantly safer, more efficient, and less costly to manage than staffed toll plazas. HCTRA's investment in all-electronic tolling will save lives, prevent crashes and injuries, and reduce property damage. As part of the Barrier-Free HCTRA Program, Pathway Crossings will occur over or under UPRR facilities, and these funds will cover the engineering costs for review over these facilities.
The reimbursement agreement is per the August 23, 2023 Court approved agreement with UPRR regarding Engineering reviews.
Expected Impact:
This will allow for the continuation of fiber services.
Alternative Options:
No other recommended services for this identified need.
