These include but are <br />not limited to; water mains, gas lines, drainage culverts, buried and <br />overhead electrical lines, communications conduit, telephone and <br />fiber optic cable, petroleum pipelines, and sanitary sewer. A <br />thorough review of the utilities present within each capacity <br />improvement will be done to determine probable impacts. Field <br />survey data collection and review of existing BNSF track charts will <br />help to'identify and locate the various utilities. We will also request <br />BNSF's property management company, Catellus Management, to <br />review all property agreements along the Corridor to pinpoint <br />utility leases and easements. We have not included any Catellus <br />Management costs for this work and have assumed that they are <br />outside of the scope of services that the TKDA Team will provide. <br /> <br />Once the affected utilities have been located, we will determine the <br />proper course of action; abandonment, extension, casing or <br />complete relocation. The BNSF has requirements and guidelines <br />concerning utilities within their right-of-way. BNSF's requirements <br />for utility set-backs, depth of cover and encasement will be used for <br />the development of the preliminary engineering documents. <br />Culvert extensions for drainage within the limits of the project will <br />be made using materials similar to that which is in place. <br /> <br /> Deliverables <br /> <br /> Review submittals of plans for the applicable <br /> utility/drainage related improvements <br /> <br />TASK 10: PLAN PREPARATION <br />Once the NCDA, Mn/DOT and the BNSF have completed final <br />reviews of the plans, the TKDA Team will assemble separate plan <br />sets for each of the specified 15 railroad capacity improvements. <br />We will combine plan sets where feasible, depending on the <br />individual project size and the proposed construction staging for all <br />of the improvements. <br /> <br />Plan sets will be cohesive across all disciplines and be suitable for <br /> <br /> Preliminary Engineering Proposal <br /> TOLTZ, KING, DUVALL, ANDERSON ~x AssoCIATES, INC. <br /> <br />56 <br /> <br /> <br />
