Change Order No. 1
Via Rail will utilize existing site maps, Union Pacific Railroad (UP) corridor
valuation maps, readily available topographic data, and alternative site layouts from
Nitta Gelatin to develop rail infrastructure that meets Nitta Gelatin requirements and
UP Rail Access. Via Rail will coordinate plan review and design criteria for the site
between CLIENT, Nitta Gelatin and UP representatives. Upon identification of an
acceptable concept plan, Via Rail will begin Preliminary Engineering. In addition, a
site meeting to observe rail corridor and evaluate existing conditions and any possible
site constraints that would prevent the installation of the proposed mainline switch.
A project design meeting with CLIENT's development team will be conducted
concurrently during this visit. In addition to addressing UP Mainline Switch
installation, Via Rail will consider impact to adjacent roadways, preliminary design,
track geometry both horizontal and vertical, grading requirements to match building
site design, drainage and storm water management, and potential wetland, structural
or utility encumbrances. The approved design will be presented to Stakeholders along
with our Opinion of Probable Construction Costs.
Not include in our proposal: soil borings, geotechnical report, environmental
engineering, wetland report, topographic survey, final engineering. and construction
services. These services can be provided and coordinated when you deem necessary.
