Home Browse Search

The ROW Company understands long lead times are necessary when railroads are affected by capital improvement projects and our team will ensure coordination of activities are initiated early in the project development stage at 35% design or sooner. We conduct all railroad activities and approvals in accordance with California Public Utility (CPUC) requirements and initiate CPUC applications early to allow adequate time for approvals. Our appraisers are experienced with the nuances of valuing railroad interests for all project types including utility projects that impact railroad facilities, as well as railroad safety and grade separation projects. Such requirements include ensuring independent appraisers are utilized in appraising utility requirements and that required railroad interests are properly identified. During the appraisal process our team drafts the Construction and Maintenance Agreement (C&M), which outlines responsibility for maintaining the right-of-way, to initiate the process for reviews and approvals and works with PWA and Railroad representatives on format and agreements to be utilized. We assist with other activities including scheduling and coordinating meetings with various agencies and railroads, developing a schedule of activities required for clearance, securing flagging agreements and preparing required documentation. The ROW Company recognizes that establishing a positive rapport with project team members is essential in effectively and efficiently delivering projects. Our team understands this is especially true when maintaining positive dialogue with railroad engineers and project managers in expeditiously obtaining approvals. We recognize there are multiple parties to a C&M agreement that can include Caltrans, OCTA, Counties, Cities and other stakeholders. We pride ourselves in bringing parties together to reach mutually beneficial resolutions and signed agreements. 00 PRO POSAL TO CITY OF SANTA ANA, RFP 2C- 25D-130
