RRD
will request the district railroad coordinator
setup and obtain construction CSJs through the TxDOTCONNECT system
for all
Section 130
projects which will
use
federal funding to reimburse the railroad companies, district work and/or local governments.
The district will update TRIMS with the CSJ and inform RRD.
For non-let railroad work, RRD will request Finance Division's Letting Management Section (FIN) to setup a project number and obligate funds once a draft agreement including signed Plansets/ SOW and railroad estimates are completed.
FIN
will request each quarter that the Finance Division Letting Management Section provide construction CSJs for each of the planning CSJs. The Finance Division Letting Management Section will create a new FPAA to include the construction CSJs for an amount based on estimates to be paid out to railroad companies and local governments. FHWA will review and approve the FPAA.
FIN will then setup the CSJs in PeopleSoft and notify RRD of the Federal Project Number.
RRD will update TRIMS and the final plan sets with the proper numbers before sending the agreements to the railroad companies for final execution.
For let Section 130 funded projects, the district will notify RRD of the CSJ and let date (see Section 2 for further detail). The project will be coordinated as a typical maintenance and construction project (including obligation by FIN prior to letting).
