Crossing DOT# 724533L, Milepost 86.71 CNO&TP, located in Lexington, KY is a potential crossing Norfolk Southern would like to consider for improvements by installing new raised curb delineators to help channelize vehicles. Other proposed improvements include re-striping of roadway edge and stop bars for better visibility of upcoming crossing and potentially adding signs and advanced warning markings. Expected outcome of project would be to create a safer highway-rail crossing to reduce the potential for incidents in the crossing vicinity. PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK The proposed project includes installation of raised curb medians with delineators and new striping. The raised curb medians with delineators will help channelize vehicles that are queued at the railroad crossing and deter drivers from driving around crossing arm when the signal is activated. The proposed project is to reduce risk of an incident in the vicinity of the crossing. For more information, please refer to the concept plan showing improvements in Exhibit C and the detailed project estimate in Exhibit E. PROJECT SCHEDULE/TIMELINE When authorization to proceed is received, Norfolk Southern (NS) will immediately begin, coordinating with the local road authority. Complete detailed design drawings for construction at the two (2) month mark. Norfolk Southern to bid project. Contractors' bid to include a detailed time schedule for material procurement and installation. NS will receive bids at the three (3) month mark. NS will evaluate bids and award project, as necessary, at the four (4) month mark. Contractor to start procurement and installation in accordance with their detailed time schedule. Upon completion of project by contractor, NS will inspect the finished product within a week. If all criteria are met, NS will send out a project closeout report and final billing notice. For more information, please refer to the Project Schedule/Timeline Gant Chart. Cr ea KYTC Project Timeline, DOT# 724533L EnterNorfolk Company Southern Name in cell Railway B2. Company William R.
