Gentlemen:
The purpose of this addendum is to require compliance with the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA), and the enclosed Iowa Department of Transportation
Standard Road Plan RB-6. Both these requirements must be met when a grade
crossing surface repair project includes an existing pedestrian sidewalk and/or
recreational trail.
To be in accordance with existing ADA requirements, a detectable warning must be
installed in the sidewalk and/or recreational trail. The cost of the sidewalk and/or
recreational trail to accommodate the detectable warning will be included in the
project. As per Standard Road Plan RB-6,the detectable warning is to be installed
10' from the edge of the nearest rail. The project will also include the cost of an
additional two feet of sidewalk or to the nearest sidewalk joint beyond the detectable
warning and/or an additional two feet of the recreational trail. Existing asphalt
sidewalk approach will be removed and replaced with concrete. Any additional new
sidewalk and/or trail beyond that point will be paid by the highway authority.
The railroad will be responsible to have the sidewalk and/or recreational trail built,
and assure it is built in accordance with Standard Road Plan RB-6 and ADA
requirements. The itemized billing for the sidewalk and/or recreational trail
replacement and detectable warning will be included with their billing to the Iowa
Department of Transportation. The railroad will confer with the highway jurisdiction
to make sure their ADA standards are being met.
This addendum includes the following grade crossing agreements and any other
surface agreements for projects that have existing sidewalks and/or recreational trails
executed by the Iowa Department of Transportation not completed as of this date.
