requirements of the Railroad, and in such manner as not adversely to affect communication or signal lines of the
Railroad or its licensees now or hereafter located upon said property. No nonparty shall be admitted by the Political
Body to use or occupy any part of the Railroad's property without the Railroad's written consent. Nothing herein
shall obligate the Railroad to give such consent.
B. The Railroad reserves the right to cross the Crossing Area with such railroad tracks as may be required for its
convenience or purposes. In the event the Railroad shall place additional tracks upon the Crossing Area, the
Political Body shall, at its sole cost and expense, modify the Roadway to conform with all tracks within the Crossing

C. The right hereby granted is subject to any existing encumbrances and rights (whether public or private), recorded or
unrecorded, and also to any renewals thereof. The Political Body shall not damage, destroy or interfere with the
property or rights of nonparties in, upon or relating to the Railroad's property, unless the Political Body at its own

inconsistent with the right hereby granted, including, but not by way of limitation, the right to construct, reconstruct,

against the Railroad by the State and /or the Contractor.
SECTION 3. INJURY AND DAMAGE TO PROPERTY

B. If, in the future, the Political Body elects to have the surfacing material between the track tie ends, or between tracks if
there is more than one railroad track across the Crossing Area, replaced with paving or some surfacing material other
than timer planking, the Railroad, at the Political Body's expense, shall install such replacement surfacing, and in the
future, to the extent repair or replacement of the surfacing is necessitated by repair or rehabilitation of the Railroad's
tracks through the Crossing Area, the Political Body shall bear the expense of such repairs or replacement.

If at any time the Railroad shall elect, or be required by competent authority to, raise or lower the grade of all or
any portion of the track(s) located within the Crossing Area, the Political Body shall, at its own expense, conform the

SECTION 7. REARRANGEMENT OF WARNING DEVICES
If the change or rearrangement of any warning device installed hereunder is necessitated for public or Railroad
convenience or on account of improvements for either the Railroad, highway or both, the parties will apportion the
expense incidental thereto between themselves by negotiation, agreement or by the order of a competent authority

SECTION 8. SAFETY MEASURES; PROTECTION
OF RAILROAD COMPANY OPERATIONS
It is understood and recognized that safety and continuity of the Railroad's operations and communications are
General Terms &Conditions Page 2 of 6
Exhibit B
UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY
PUBLIC HIGHWAY AT -GRADE CROSSING (Improvement Agreement) IlU16MO AblCMW
Form Approved, AVP -Law
of the utmost importance; and in order that the same may be adequately safeguarded, protected and assured, and in
order that accidents may be prevented and avoided, it is agreed with respect to all of said work of the Political Body that
the work will be performed in a safe manner and in conformity with the following standards:
A. Definitions. All references in this Agreement to the Political Body shall also include the Contractor and their
respective officers, agents and employees, and others acting under its or their authority; and all references in this
Agreement to work of the Political Body shall include work both within and outside of the Railroad's property.
B. Entry on to Railroad's Property by Political Body. If the Political Body's employees need to enter Railroad's
property in order to perform an inspection of the Roadway, minor maintenance or other activities, the Political Body
shall first provide at least ten (10) working days advance notice to the Railroad Representative. With respect to such
entry on to Railroad's property, the Political Body, to the extent permitted by law, agrees to release, defend and
indemnify the Railroad from and against any loss, damage, injury, liability, claim, cost or expense incurred by any
person including, without limitation, the Political Body's employees, or damage to any property or equipment
(collectively the "Loss ") that arises from the presence or activities of Political Body's employees on Railroad's
property, except to the extent that any Loss is caused by the sole direct negligence of Railroad.
C. Flapping.
(i) If the Political Body's employees need to enter Railroad's property as provided in Paragraph B above, the Political
Body agrees to notify the Railroad Representative at least thirty (30) working days in advance of proposed
performance of any work by Political Body in which any person or equipment will be within twenty-five (25) feet of
any track, or will be near enough to any track that any equipment extension (such as, but not limited to, a crane
boom) will reach to within twenty-five (25) feet of any track. No work of any kind shall be performed, and no
person, equipment, machinery, tool(s), material(s), vehicle(s), or thing(s) shall be located, operated, placed, or
stored within twenty-five (25) feet of any of Railroad's track(s) at any time, for any reason, unless and until a
Railroad flagman is provided to watch for trains. Upon receipt of such thirty (30) day notice, the Railroad
Representative will determine and inform Political Body whether a flagman need be present and whether Political
Body needs to implement any special protective or safety measures. If flagging or other special protective or
safety measures are performed by Railroad, Railroad will bill Political Body for such expenses incurred by
Railroad. If Railroad performs any flagging, or other special protective or safety measures are performed by
Railroad, Political Body agrees that Political Body is not relieved of any of its responsibilities or liabilities set forth
in this Agreement.
(ii) The rate of pay per hour for each flagman will be the prevailing hourly rate in effect for an eight -hour day for the
class of flagmen used during regularly assigned hours and overtime in accordance with Labor Agreements and
Schedules in effect at the time the work is performed. In addition to the cost of such labor, a composite charge for
vacation, holiday, health and welfare, supplemental sickness, Railroad Retirement and unemployment
compensation, supplemental pension, Employees Liability and Property Damage and Administration will be
included, computed on actual payroll. The composite charge will be the prevailing composite charge in effect at
the time the work is performed. One and one -half times the current hourly rate is paid for overtime, Saturdays
and Sundays, and two and one -half times current hourly rate for holidays. Wage rates are subject to change, at
any time, by law or by agreement between Railroad and its employees, and may be retroactive as a result of
negotiations or a ruling of an authorized governmental agency. Additional charges on labor are also subject to
change. If the wage rate or additional charges are changed, Political Body shall pay on the basis of the new rates
and charges.
(iii) Reimbursement to Railroad will be required covering the full eight -hour day during which any flagman is
furnished, unless the flagman can be assigned to other Railroad work during a portion of such day, in which event
reimbursement will not be required for the portion of the day during which the flagman is engaged in other
Railroad work. Reimbursement will also be required for any day not actually worked by the flagman following the
flagman's assignment to work on the project for which Railroad is required to pay the flagman and which could not
reasonably be avoided by Railroad by assignment of such flagman to other work, even though Political Body may
not be working during such time. When it becomes necessary for Railroad to bulletin and assign an employee to
a flagging position in compliance with union collective bargaining agreements, Political Body must provide
Railroad a minimum of five (5) days notice prior to the cessation of the need for a flagman. If five (5) days notice
of cessation is not given, Political Body will still be required to pay flagging charges for the five (5) day notice
period required by union agreement to be given to the employee, even though flagging is not required for that
General Terms &Conditions Page 3 of 6
Exhibit B

Form Approved, AVP -Law
period. An additional thirty (30) days notice must then be given to Railroad if flagging services are needed again
after such five day cessation notice has been given to Railroad.
D. Compliance With Laws. The Political Body shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws,
regulations and enactments affecting the work. The Political Body shall use only such methods as are consistent
with safety, both as concerns the Political Body, the Political Body's agents and employees, the officers, agents,
employees and property of the Railroad and the public in general. The Political Body (without limiting the generality
of the foregoing) shall comply with all applicable state and federal occupational safety and health acts and
regulations. All Federal Railroad Administration regulations shall be followed when work is performed on the
Railroad's premises. If any failure by the Political Body to comply with any such laws, regulations, and enactments,
shall result in any fine, penalty, cost or charge being assessed, imposed or charged against the Railroad, the
Political Body shall reimburse, and to the extent it may lawfully do so, indemnify the Railroad for any such fine,
penalty, cost, or charge, including without limitation attorney's fees, court costs and expenses. The Political Body
further agrees in the event of any such action, upon notice thereof being provided by the Railroad, to defend such
action free of cost, charge, or expense to the Railroad.
E. No Interference or Delays. The Political Body shall not do, suffer or permit anything which will or may obstruct,
endanger, interfere with, hinder or delay maintenance or operation of the Railroad's tracks or facilities, or any
communication or signal lines, installations or any appurtenances thereof, or the operations of others lawfully
occupying or using the Railroad's property or facilities.
F. Supervision. The Political Body, at its own expense, shall adequately police and supervise all work to be
performed by the Political Body, and shall not inflict injury to persons or damage to property for the safety of whom
or of which the Railroad may be responsible, or to property of the Railroad. The responsibility of the Political Body
for safe conduct and adequate policing and supervision of the Project shall not be lessened or otherwise affected by
the Railroad's approval of plans and specifications, or by the Railroad's collaboration in performance of any work, or
by the presence at the work site of the Railroad's representatives, or by compliance by the Political Body with any
requests or recommendations made by such representatives. If a representative of the Railroad is assigned to the
Project, the Political Body will give due consideration to suggestions and recommendations made by such
representative for the safety and protection of the Railroad's property and operations.
G. Suspension of Work. If at any time the Political Body's engineers or the Vice President - Engineering Services of
the Railroad or their respective representatives shall be of the opinion that any work of the Political Body is being or
is about to be done or prosecuted without due regard and precaution for safety and security, the Political Body shall
immediately suspend the work until suitable, adequate and proper protective measures are adopted and provided.
H. Removal of Debris. The Political Body shall not cause, suffer or permit material or debris to be deposited or cast
upon, or to slide or fall upon any property or facilities of the Railroad; and any such material and debris shall be
promptly removed from the Railroad's property by the Political Body at the Political Body's own expense or by the
Railroad at the expense of the Political Body. The Political Body shall not cause, suffer or permit any snow to be
plowed or cast upon the Railroad's property during snow removal from the Crossing Area.
Explosives. The Political Body shall not discharge any explosives on or in the vicinity of the Railroad's property
without the prior consent of the Railroad's Vice President - Engineering Services, which shall not be given if, in the
sole discretion of the Railroad's Vice President - Engineering Services, such discharge would be dangerous or would
interfere with the Railroad's property or facilities. For the purposes hereof, the "vicinity of the Railroad's property"
shall be deemed to be any place on the Railroad's property or in such close proximity to the Railroad's property that
the discharge of explosives could cause injury to the Railroad's employees or other persons, or cause damage to or
interference with the facilities or operations on the Railroad's property. The Railroad reserves the right to impose
such conditions, restrictions or limitations on the transportation, handling, storage, security and use of explosives as
the Railroad, in the Railroad's sole discretion, may deem to be necessary, desirable or appropriate.

excessive and may create hazards of slides or failing rock, or impair or endanger the clearance between existing or
new slopes and the tracks of the Railroad. The Political Body shall not do or cause to be done any work which will
or may disturb the stability of any area or adversely affect the Railroad's tracks or facilities. The Political Body, at its
own expense, shall install and maintain adequate shoring and cribbing for all excavation and /or trenching performed

because of any facilities or work of the Political Body, be impeded, obstructed, diverted or caused to back up,
overflow or damage the property of the Railroad or any part thereof, or property of others. The Political Body shall
not obstruct or interfere with existing ditches or drainage facilities.
L. Notice. Before commencing any work, the Political Body shall provide the advance notice to the Railroad that is
required under the Contractor's Right of Entry Agreement.
M. Fiber Optic Cables. Fiber optic cable systems may be buried on the Railroad's property. Protection of the fiber

involved, arrange for a cable locator, and make arrangements for relocation or other protection of the fiber optic
cable prior to beginning any work on the Railroad's premises.

by the agents and authorized representatives of Political Body for a period of three (3) years following the date of

SECTION 12. REMEDIES FOR BREACH OR NONUSE
A. If the Political Body shall fail, refuse or neglect to perform and abide by the terms of this Agreement, the Railroad, in
addition to any other rights and remedies, may perform any work which in the judgment of the Railroad is necessary

EXHIBIT B
TO CONTRACTOR'S RIGHT OF ENTRY AGREEMENT
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Section 1. NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT OF WORK - FLAGGING.
A. Contractor agrees to notify the Railroad Representative at least thirty (30) working days in advance of Contractor
commencing its work and at least ten (10) working days in advance of proposed performance of any work by
Contractor in which any person or equipment will be within twenty -five (25) feet of any track, or will be near enough to
any track that any equipment extension (such as, but not limited to, a crane boom) will reach to within twenty -five (25)
feet of any track. No work of any kind shall be performed, and no person, equipment, machinery, tool(s), material(s),
vehicle(s), or thing(s) shall be located, operated, placed, or stored within twenty -five (25) feet of any of Railroad's
track(s) at any time, for any reason, unless and until a Railroad flagman is provided to watch for trains. Upon receipt
of such thirty (30) -day notice, the Railroad Representative will determine and inform Contractor whether a flagman
need be present and whether Contractor needs to implement any special protective or safety measures. If flagging or
other special protective or safety measures are performed by Railroad, Railroad will bill Contractor for such expenses
incurred by Railroad, unless Railroad and a federal, state or local governmental entity have agreed that Railroad is to
bill such expenses to the federal, state or local governmental entity. If Railroad will be sending the bills to Contractor,
Contractor shall pay such bills within thirty (30) days of Contractor's receipt of billing. If Railroad performs any
flagging, or other special protective or safety measures are performed by Railroad, Contractor agrees that Contractor
is not relieved of any of its responsibilities or liabilities set forth in this Agreement.
B. The rate of pay per hour for each flagman will be the prevailing hourly rate in effect for an eight -hour day for the class
of flagmen used during regularly assigned hours and overtime in accordance with Labor Agreements and Schedules
in effect at the time the work is performed. In addition to the cost of such labor, a composite charge for vacation,
holiday, health and welfare, supplemental sickness, Railroad Retirement and unemployment compensation,
supplemental pension, Employees Liability and Property Damage and Administration will be included, computed on
actual payroll. The composite charge will be the prevailing composite charge in effect at the time the work is
performed. One and one -half times the current hourly rate is paid for overtime, Saturdays and Sundays, and two and
one -half times current hourly rate for holidays. Wage rates are subject to change, at any time, by law or by
agreement between Railroad and its employees, and may be retroactive as a result of negotiations or a ruling of an
authorized governmental agency. Additional charges on labor are also subject to change. If the wage rate or
additional charges are changed, Contractor (or the governmental entity, as applicable) shall pay on the basis of the
new rates and charges.
C. Reimbursement to Railroad will be required covering the full eight -hour day during which any flagman is furnished,
unless the flagman can be assigned to other Railroad work during a portion of such day, in which event
reimbursement will not be required for the portion of the day during which the flagman is engaged in other Railroad
work. Reimbursement will also be required for any day not actually worked by the flagman following the flagman's
assignment to work on the project for which Railroad is required to pay the flagman and which could not reasonably
be avoided by Railroad by assignment of such flagman to other work, even though Contractor may not be working
during such time. When it becomes necessary for Railroad to bulletin and assign an employee to a flagging position
in compliance with union collective bargaining agreements, Contractor must provide Railroad a minimum of thirty (30)
days notice prior to the cessation of the need for a flagman. If thirty (30) days notice of cessation is not given,
Contractor will still be required to pay flagging charges for the thirty (30) day notice period required by union
agreement to be given to the employee, even though flagging is not required for that period. An additional ten (10)
days notice must then be given to Railroad if flagging services are needed again after such five day cessation notice
has been given to Railroad.
Section 2. LIMITATION AND SUBORDINATION OF RIGHTS GRANTED
A. The foregoing grant of right is subject and subordinate to the prior and continuing right and obligation of the Railroad
to use and maintain its entire property including the right and power of Railroad to construct, maintain, repair, renew,
use, operate, change, modify or relocate railroad tracks, roadways, signal, communication, fiber optics, or other
wielines, pipelines and other facilities upon, along or across any or all parts of its property, all or any of which may be
