The changes are necessary for the <br />completion of both the 2015 Street Improvement and Eastern Area Trail and Mobility projects. The <br />components scheduled to be installed at these crossings as part of these projects will encompass the <br />safety devises necessary for our larger quiet zone project. <br />Financial Impact <br />The agreement details a total cost at these three crossings of $542,234. This is below the estimate we had <br />included for in the project budget this work. The costs will be funded through our State Aid Account as <br />anticipated through the planning of this work. As detailed in our joint powers agreement, the City of <br />Ramsey will contribute '/2 of the costs for the improvements made at the Jarvis Street Crossing, or <br />$106,495. <br />Attachments <br />■ Grade Crossing Signal Installation Agreement <br />■ Exhibit A <br />■ Exhibit B <br />■ Exhibit C <br />P a w E A E U s r <br />NaA f RE] <br />
