It is the intent of the County to engage a consultant whom will provide professional services as described herein. However, the County reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to terminate the RFP process or negotiations with a selected consultant and begin a new RFP process or defer the project. Nothing herein, or in the process, shall be construed as having obligated the County to pay for any expenses incurred by respondents to this RFP or to the selected consultant prior to Board of Supervisors’ approval and execution of a consultant services agreement.
Selected consultant shall hold harmless, defend and indemnify County, its agents, officers and employees from and against any and all liability, claims, actions, costs, damages or losses of any kind, including death or injury to any person and/or damage to property arising out of the willful misconduct, or the negligent acts or omissions, of the Consultant or its agents, officers and employees. This indemnification specifically includes any claims that may be made against the County by any taxing authority asserting that the employer-employee relationship exists by reason of the consultant agreement, any claims made against the County alleging civil rights violations by the Consultant under Government Code Sections 12920 et seq.

I. SUMMARY
1. Introduction In January of 2013 the County of Kings Public Works Department commissioned TJKM Transportation Consultants to perform an at-grade rail crossing safety audit of Kansas Avenue and BNSF Railway due to prior vehicle versus train collisions. The safety audit concluded that the existing traffic controls, signage, pavement delineations, and pavement markings are in conformance with current 2014 CA MUTCD and the CPUC GO 75-D. Enhancements were identified in the safety audit which may increase driver awareness of the at-grade rail crossing in light of the unexplained accident history. In March of 2015 Caltrans also analyzed the existing conditions of the at-grade rail crossing and identified similar enhancements which could improve safety at the rail crossing. Caltrans Identified both railway and local work which will be contracted separately. The BNSF Railway (BNSF) scope of work includes installation of two CPUC standard 9-A warning devices, one in the northeast quadrant and the other in the southwest quadrant of the intersection. The Kings County scope of work includes installation of transverse rumble strips, restriping of all pavement markings with thermoplastic, and replacement of the three (3) existing active advance warning devices.
2. Consultant Selection Procedure The County intends to select a consultant to provide professional services based upon the information in the project proposals submitted in response to this RFP. The prospective consultant’s proposal will be evaluated and ranked according to the criteria provided in Article VI of this RFP. The County will not hold consultant selection interviews, the final ranking will be based entirely on the project proposals. Consultants are required to submit a sealed cost proposal along with the project proposal. Failure to submit the sealed cost proposal shall invalidate your project proposal and result in elimination of consideration for the contract. The cost proposal for the top ranked consultant will be opened and used to begin negotiations. If agreement cannot be reached with the top ranked consultant, negotiations will proceed with the next most qualified consultant. Each consultant’s cost proposal shall remain sealed until negotiations commence with that particular consultant. Once an agreement has been executed the remaining sealed cost proposals shall be returned. A formal notice to proceed to the selected consultant will occur immediately following the County Board of Supervisors’ award of the contract to the selected consultant.

II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
1. Purpose The County of Kings Public Works department based on prior vehicle versus train collisions, an at-grade safety audit of Kansas Avenue and BNSF Railway performed by TJKM Transportation Consultants, and an analysis performed by Caltrans concluded that upgraded flashing beacons and other enhancements to the at-grade rail crossing may reduce future incidents. Currently a standard 9 warning device is located on both the northeast and southwest quadrants of the crossing. The crossing has a total of three (3) existing active advance warning devices, two for westbound traffic and one for eastbound traffic. The installation of upgraded flashing beacons, along with other enhancements is expected to increase the intersection’s safety.
2. Existing Facility Kansas Avenue is a two lane rural roadway in Kings County. The BNSF rail line consists of two tracks, one primary and one secondary. There are two standard 9 warning devices (flashing light signal assembly with automatic gate) in the northeast and southwest quadrants of the intersection. There are three (3) active incandescent advance warning devices, two for westbound traffic and one for eastbound traffic on 4” wood posts.
3. Proposed Facility The County is requesting design of rail safety enhancements at the Kansas Avenue and BNSF at-grade intersection. The rail safety enhancements consist of the following:
• Thermoplastic transverse rumble strips on Kansas Avenue 600 feet in advance of the rail in the westbound and eastbound directions.
• Appropriate signage to inform motorists of the transverse rumble strips. • All pavement markings and striping are to be replaced with thermoplastic. • Replacement of active advance warning devices including replacing wood
posts with steel support poles and concrete foundations. • Upgrading all existing incandescent lights on the active advance warning
systems to 12 inch LED assemblies. • Provide battery power supply backup.

January 8, 2013 Dominic Tyburski, P.E. Kings County Public Works Department 1400 W. Lacey Blvd Hanford CA 93230 Via email only: Dominic.Tyburski@co.kings.ca.us Subject: At-Grade Crossing Safety Audit of Kansas Avenue and BNSF Railway
(No. PUC 2-959.9) in the County of Kings Dear Mr. Tyburski, TJKM Transportation Consultants has completed a safety audit of the at-grade crossing of Kansas Avenue and BNSF Railway in the County of Kings. TJKM’s main objective for this assignment was to analyze the at grade crossing, including signing, striping, traffic controls, and line of sight in conformance with the latest edition of the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) and the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) General Order 75-D. Introduction This letter presents the results of the safety audit of the at-grade crossing of Kansas Avenue and BNSF Railway (No. PUC 2-959.9) conducted in 2013 by TJKM Transportation Consultants for the County of Kings. The safety audit includes a radar speed survey, daily traffic classification counts, collision analyses, and an analysis of roadway conditions including signing and striping for the segment of Kansas Avenue east and west of the at-grade crossing with the BNSF Railway. The subject crossing has experienced train collisions and as a result the County of Kings desires to have an independent evaluation of the crossing to determine if certain changes could be made to improve the at grade crossing. Therefore the purpose of this safety audit is to evaluate if the at-grade crossing has the appropriate traffic controls, signage, pavement delineations, and pavement markings in conformance with the CA MUTCD. Figure 1 illustrates the existing at grade crossing along with the existing traffic controls, signage, pavement delineation, and pavement markings as of September 13, 2013. Observed Speeds A crucial component of an at grade crossing safety audit is to determine the 85th percentile speed of the cross road, in this case Kansas Avenue. By determining the 85th percentile speed one can determine the proper placement of signage, pavement delineation and pavement markings on the approaches to the at-grade crossing. For this reason, TJKM obtained radar speed studies for both approaches of Kansas Avenue. Only free flowing vehicles in the traffic stream are included in the radar survey to establish normal speed conditions. The radar surveys were performed during non peak hours of the roadway. The radar speed surveys are included in Appendix A. Based on the radar speed surveys the 85th percentile speeds for Kansas Avenue are 57 MPH west of the at-grade crossing and 55 MPH east of the at-grade crossing. The slightly slower speeds to the east of the at-grade crossing are due to traffic slowing down to turn onto 10th Avenue or traffic entering Kansas Avenue from 10th Avenue. Pursuant to the CA MUTCD and the California Vehicle Code (CVC) posted speed limits are set to "round to the nearest" 5 MPH increment of the 85th percentile speed in these case both would be 55 MPH. Per the ASSHTO A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets 2011 6th Edition Table 3-5 the minimum passing zone length for 55 MPH roadways is 800 feet. Per Table 6C-2 of the 2012 CA MUTCD the stopping sight distance for 55 MPH is 495 feet. Based on this data, the existing

centerline striping for Kansas Avenue meets or exceeds these criteria and therefore no change to the existing centerline striping is needed. Signs and Markings All striping and pavement markings were found to be retro reflective paint. The existing signage and striping was also compared to Figure 8B-6 (CA) of the CA MUTCD for a 2-lane roadway. The placement of the railroad limit lines on both approaches meets or exceeds the minimum 15 feet distance from the rail. At present Kansas Avenue has two sets of grade crossing pavement markings and railroad crossing warning signs (W10-1). Additionally, advance flashing beacons are also present. It should be noted that at this particular crossing only one set is required for each approach at a point not less than 325 feet from the crossing. On the west leg of Kansas Avenue the grade crossing pavement markings and railroad crossing warning signs are located 951 and 457 feet from the at-grade crossing. The first at 951 feet also includes the flashing beacon which turns on during railroad preemption. The flashing beacon was observed to function properly during railroad preemption. On the east leg of Kansas Avenue the grade crossing pavement markings and railroad crossing warning signs are located 822 and 523 feet from the at-grade crossing. In the westbound direction both sets include a flashing beacon which turns on during railroad preemption. The reason for the westbound direction having flashing beacons at both locations is to ensure that traffic entering Kansas Avenue from 10th Avenue is also provided with a flashing beacon. The two flashing beacon systems were observed to function properly during railroad preemption. The current location of the grade crossing pavement markings and railroad crossing warning signs meets the CA MUTCD guidelines and the second set of signs and markings in advance provides added notice to motorists and therefore no changes to the locations of the grade crossing pavement markings and railroad crossing warning signs (W10-1) are needed. With the exception of one railroad warning sign at location number 1 as noted on Figure 1 (W48 (CA)), all railroad warning signs for which the County has maintenance responsibility are in compliance with the CA MUTCD. The W48 (CA) does not appear to meet current retro reflectivity standards and therefore it is recommended that this sign be replaced. The existing size, color and shape of all railroad warning signs meet or exceed current CA MUTCD guidelines. Based on TJKM’s observation, Kansas Avenue at and beyond the at-grade crossing is flat with no curves and no line of sight obstructions were present to restrict the minimum required stopping sight distance. The at-grade crossing can be clearly seen from several times the required stopping sight distance on both approaches. The existing railroad gates and lights were observed before and during train crossings and these were observed to be working properly. The review of the railroad equipment was limited to ensuring that all lights worked and that gates descended and ascended. The railroad warning timing of the gates system was not conducted as this is the sole control of the railroad. Based on TJKM’s observation the existing railroad gates and warning devices are largely in compliance with the recommendations of the CA MUTCD and the CPUC with one possible exception. The one possible exception was that of retro reflectivity of some of the railroad crossing buck signs and the ”2 Tracks” signs mounted on the Standard 9. Appendix B includes a copy of the CPUC General Order 75-D which includes a figure of a Standard 9.

Traffic Counts Daily volume classification counts were conducted for Kansas Avenue between the at-grade crossing and 10th Avenue. These counts were collected to determine the general traffic volumes based on vehicle classifications. Based on the counts conducted on September 26, 2013 the total 24-hour volume for this segment of Kansas Avenue was found to be 3,390 vehicles of which approximately 37 percent were found to be heavy vehicles (buses and trucks combined). The counts are included in Appendix C. Collision Data TJKM collected a collision history based on data from Statewide Integrated Traffic Reporting System data (SWITRS) and then supplemented it by collision reports provided by the County. Intersection Magic software was utilized to prepare collision diagrams. The years analyzed were January 1, 2008 through August 20, 2013. A diagram of the collisions in the vicinity of the at-grade crossing is found in Appendix D. During this period there were seven reported collisions. Of the seven, there were two vehicle to train collisions, two vehicle to railroad equipment (fixed object) collisions, and three vehicle to vehicle rear end collisions. The main cause for five of the seven collisions were reported as “unsafe speed”. The reported causes for the other two collisions were sun glare and a defective brake system. The defective brake system was determined to be the cause for one of the vehicle to train collisions while the cause for the second vehicle to train collision is not known as the collision report was not finalized at the time of the completion of this safety audit. It should be noted that both vehicle to train collisions involved commercial trucks. Based on TJKM’s review of the project site and the collision reports it does not appear that any of the reported collisions are susceptible to correction by the installation or modification of traffic control device, signage or striping as the collisions taking place are largely due to drivers’ lack of attention to speed and to vehicles or equipment in front of them. Summary and Recommendations Based on TJKM’s safety audit of the at-grade crossing of Kansas Avenue and BNSF Railway the existing traffic controls, signage, pavement delineations, and pavement markings are in substantial conformance with the CA MUTCD and the CPUC GO 75-D. Below are some minor recommendations that the County could consider in an effort to increase driver awareness of the at-grade crossing:
• Consider adding rumble strips on the approaches of Kansas Avenue at a point approximately 600 feet from the at-grade crossing.
• Replace the existing railroad warning sign (W48 (CA) at location 1 with a new sign with improved retro reflectivity.
• Hold a diagnostic scoping meeting with the CPUC, Caltrans Rails, and BNSF Railway Please feel free to call me at 559-325-7530, or email me at jbenavides@tjkm.com if you have questions regarding this warrant analyses. Sincerely,

GENERAL ORDER NO. 75-D (Supersedes G.O. No. 75-C)
PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
REGULATIONS GOVERNING STANDARDS FOR WARNING DEVICES FOR AT-GRADE HIGHWAY-
RAIL CROSSINGS IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
Adopted August 24, 2006. Effective September 23, 2006. (Resolution No. SX-73)
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED by the Public Utilities Commission of the State of California, that the following regulations governing the standards for warning devices for at-grade highway-rail crossings for motor vehicles, pedestrians, and/or bicycles, hereinafter referred to as at-grade crossings, be observed in this State unless otherwise authorized or directed by the Commission. These rules, issued in accordance with Sections 768, 778, 1202, 7537, 7538, and 99152 of California Public Utilities Code, apply to the extent they are not inconsistent with federal laws or regulations.
1. PURPOSE OF RULES
The purpose of these rules is to reduce hazards associated with at-grade crossings by establishing uniform standards for warning devices for at-grade crossings in the State of California, the application of which may afford safety for all persons traversing at-grade crossings.
2. POLICY ON REDUCING NUMBER OF AT-GRADE CROSSINGS As part of its mission to reduce hazards associated with at-grade crossings, and in support of the national goal of the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), the Commission’s policy is to reduce the number of at-grade crossings on freight or passenger railroad mainlines in California.
3. SCOPE OF RULES
These rules are not intended as complete design or construction specifications. Design or construction specifications shall be in accord with accepted industry standards for the given existing local conditions unless otherwise specified in these rules. Unless otherwise provided, this order shall not be retroactive with respect to at-grade crossings lawfully existing on its effective date, except that the Commission may require alterations or improvements at any such at-grade crossings.
4. CA MUTCD All warning devices shall be in substantial conformance with the applicable Standards, Guidance and Options set forth in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) in the form adopted by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), which prescribes uniform standards and specifications for all official traffic control devices in
- 2 -
G.O. 75-D
California (see California Vehicle Code Section 21400 et seq.), and is referenced in this General Order as CA MUTCD.
5. IDENTIFICATION OF PUBLIC AT-GRADE CROSSINGS
5.1 Each public at-grade crossing, or publicly used private at-grade crossing (as determined by the Commission or a court of competent jurisdiction), except those listed in Section 5.2, shall have the following information posted conspicuously and legibly at the crossing by the entity responsible for its maintenance: a) The Commission and/or U.S. Department of Transportation assigned number that
uniquely identifies the at-grade crossing; and b) Emergency notification telephone number.
5.2 Exceptions to posting requirements. Compliance with Section 5.1 is not required at at-
grade crossings of light rail transit systems not equipped with Standard automatic warning devices as defined in Section 6.
6. STANDARD WARNING DEVICES
6.1 Standard 1-R. A Crossbuck sign (defined as R15-1 in the CA MUTCD) installed on a retroreflectorized wood or metal post. See Figure 1 for additional specifications.
6.2 Standard 8. An automatic flashing light signal assembly which, by alternately flashing red
lights facing each approach, provides a warning of an approaching train. A Crossbuck sign shall be installed on the mast. See Figure 2 for additional specifications.

G.O. 75-D
7. PRIVATE AT-GRADE CROSSINGS 7.1 Pursuant to Public Utilities Code Section 7537, the Commission has the authority to
determine the necessity for any private at-grade crossing and the place, manner, and conditions under which the at-grade crossing shall be constructed and maintained, and to fix and assess the cost and expense thereof. The Commission exercises such jurisdiction when it is either petitioned by one of the parties or Commission staff.
7.2 The establishment of a private at-grade crossing, other than a private at-grade crossing of
the railroad tracks by the owning railroad, must be authorized through a written agreement between the railroad and the party requiring the crossing.
7.3 Standard 1-X. "PRIVATE CROSSING" sign shall be installed at all private at-grade
crossings. See Figure 6 for additional specifications. 7.4 At all approaches to private at-grade crossings there shall be installed either a STOP sign
(defined as a Standard R1-1 in the CA MUTCD) or an automatic warning device described in Sections 6.2 through 6.6. a) If a STOP sign is used, the Standard 1-X sign shall be mounted on the post below it. b) If a Standard 8, 8-A, 9, 9-A, or 9-E device is used, the Standard 1-X sign shall be
attached to the mast of the warning device below the flashing light signals.
7.5 The language contained in the lower portion of the "PRIVATE CROSSING" sign shown in Figure 6, commencing with and including the words "No Trespassing", shall be permitted at the option of the railroad.
8. PEDESTRIAN AT-GRADE CROSSING WARNING SIGN
8.1 Standard 1-D. "PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLES ONLY" sign shall be posted at at-grade crossings exclusively used by pedestrians and/or bicyclists. See Figure 7 for additional specifications.
8.2 If a Standard 1-R sign is used, the Standard 1-D sign shall be mounted on the post below
the Crossbuck sign. If a Number of Tracks sign (defined as R15-2 in the CA MUTCD) is used in combination with the Standard 1-R, the Standard 1-D sign shall be placed below the R15-2 sign.
8.3 If a Standard 8, 8-A, 9, 9-A, or 9-E device is used, the Standard 1-D sign shall be attached
to the mast of the warning device below the flashing light signals. 9. AUTOMATIC WARNING DEVICES - GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
9.1 Warning Devices to Conform to Commission Standards. All automatic warning devices hereinafter installed shall, unless otherwise authorized by the Commission, conform substantially to the specifications shown in Figures 2 through 5. This rule is not to be construed as prohibiting automatic warning devices of a different type installed in accordance with previous orders of this Commission (former Commission Standards 3 through 7, and 10) nor shall it be construed as prohibiting the replacement in kind or the relocation of such devices at a particular at-grade crossing.
- 4 -
G.O. 75-D
9.2 Warning Device Activation Time.
a) As required by 49 CFR Part 234.225, under normal operation of through trains, automatic crossing warning device activation times in no event shall be less than 20 seconds before the at-grade crossing is occupied by rail traffic.
b) Automatic warning devices described in Section 6 shall remain active until the rear of
the train clears the at-grade crossing. When the train clears the at-grade crossing, and if no other train is detected, the gate arms (if provided) shall ascend to their upright positions.
9.3 Color of Masts. Masts, assemblies, and cantilevered structures of flashing light signals
shall be silver or gray, except those parts functioning as a background for the light signal indications (see Section 9.4).
9.4 Flashing Light Signals. Lenses and roundels shall be 12 inches in diameter and shall be
properly hooded. Light emitting diode (LED) arrays shall be used for all flashing light signals. Hoods and backgrounds shall be painted non-reflecting black. Backgrounds shall be 24 inches in diameter. See American Railway Engineering and Maintenance of Way Association’s Communications and Signals Manual of Recommended Practices for reference.
9.5 Audible Warning Devices. Bells or other audible warning devices shall be included in all
automatic warning device assemblies (except as provided in Section 10) and shall be operated in conjunction with the flashing light signals. See American Railway Engineering and Maintenance of Way Association’s Communications and Signals Manual of Recommended Practices for reference.
9.6 Gate Arms. When the gates are fully lowered, the gap between the ends of two
complementary gates must be less than two feet. If there is a median, centerline striping, or other form of channelization installed, the gap between the gate end and the channelization device must be within one foot.
9.7 Traffic Signal Interconnection. At an at-grade crossing with automatic warning devices
where a diagnostic team determines that preemption is necessary, for example where vehicular traffic queues from traffic signal-controlled intersections exceed the Clear Storage Distance (as defined in the CA MUTCD), the traffic signals shall be interconnected with the automatic warning devices.
10. WARNING DEVICES ON MEDIANS
Warning devices may be installed on raised island medians. At at-grade crossings where warning devices are installed on the right-hand side of traffic flow, backlights or audible warning devices are not required on median-mounted warning devices.

G.O. 75-D
11. MODIFICATIONS The removal, reduction, addition, or change in type of warning devices at each public at-grade crossing, or publicly used private at-grade crossing (as determined by the Commission or a court of competent jurisdiction), shall not be permitted unless authorized by the Commission. This includes any changes that may affect interconnections with adjacent traffic signals, or any other modification that may impact the safety of the at-grade crossing. See General Order 88, as amended, titled Rules for Altering Public Highway-Rail At-Grade Crossings.
12. FORM G
12.1 Commission Standard Form G, titled Report of Changes at Highway Grade At-Grade Crossings and Separations shall be used when notifying the Commission of changes to crossings, including completion of construction of new crossings, alteration of existing crossings, elimination of crossings, or any other changes.
12.2 Upon completion of any approved changes, notice of such change shall be submitted to
the Commission within 30 days following the end of the month in which the change is effective.
12.3 All warning devices shall be removed within 90 days after the railroad exercises
abandonment authority or permanently discontinues service over the line. The entity responsible for the maintenance of warning devices shall be responsible for the removal of warning devices. See CA MUTCD for additional rules.
13. EXEMPTIONS
13.1 If, in a particular case, an exemption from any of the requirements herein is desired, the Commission will consider the exemption when accompanied by a full statement of the existing conditions and a justification for the exemption. Any exemption so granted shall be limited to the particular case.
13.2 Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting the trial installation of experimental warning
devices, provided the Commission has approved such plan in advance of the time the device is installed.
13.3 The Commission reserves the right to modify any of the provisions of these rules in
specific cases, when, in the Commission's opinion, public interest would be served by so doing.
This order shall be effective on and after the 23rd day of September 2006. Approved and dated at San Francisco, California, this 24th day of August 2006.
