We will make a presentation that details the <br />improvements proposed at all crossings and estimated schedule for completion. Upon approval of the <br />plans staff will advertise the project for bids. <br />A number of the improvements shown in the plans will be completed at the schedule of the BNSF. We <br />continue to work with BNSF and MnDOT to advance the schedule of this work. Because agreements <br />for some of this work have yet to be finalized, we have identified the phasing of the improvements in the <br />plans. <br />Financial Impact <br />Costs for the quiet zone project remain consistent with previous estimates detailed in the Capital <br />Improvement Plan. When bids are received a final budget including all construction and BNSF costs will <br />be tabulated for the consideration of the Council before award of the final contract. <br />Attachments <br />■ Quiet Zone Improvement Plan — Title Sheet <br />P a w E A E U s r <br />NaA f RE] <br />
