For crossing closure projects,

RRD

will prepare a Crossing Closure Agreement regardless of whether a Master Agreement exists with the railroad company. The Crossing Closure Agreement typically includes similar articles and attachments as listed above for both a Master Agreement and Exhibit B and will also include a copy of the signed ordinance/resolution stating the crossing to be closed. A local government is typically given two years from the date of the executed Crossing Closure Agreement to invoice TxDOT for any improvements to adjacent roadways identified in the agreement.

RRD

will coordinate all comments on the proposed Crossing Closure Agreement from participating parties (district, railroad company or local government) and revise the agreement as needed prior to submitting to all signing parties for execution. For three-party agreements, the agreement is usually executed first by the railroad company, then the by the local government, and finally, by

RRD

. For two-party agreements, the agreement will be executed first by the railroad company and then by

RRD

.

The fully executed Crossing Closure Agreement is uploaded into the TRIMS Project Management Module by the

RRD

project manager.
