Background: Per City Council approval on July 9, 2014 to prepare the Notice of Intent (NOI), City staff has completed the various in-house preliminary engineering and quiet zone calculations per the FRA Quiet Zone calculator for the six railroad street crossings within the City of Sebastian and Indian River County. The estimated total cost for the supplement safety measures is estimated at $500,000. The City local share per this grant is 10% or $50,000. The railroad street crossings are the following: Railroad Crossing Agency 1. Barber Street City of Sebastian 2. 99'" Street Indian River County 3. Schuman Drive City of Sebastian 4. Old Dixie Indian River County 5. CR 512 EB Indian River County 6. CR 512 WB Indian River County 7. Main Street City of Sebastian At this time, the City has completed the required applications documents to submit for the FDOT Quiet Zone grant application which is due by October 15, 2015. The application submittal will include the NOI, Quiet Zone Calculations, conceptual plans by AAF and City of Sebastian sidewalk plans at the three city street crossings.

Please find attached the complete Notice of Intent (NOI) to Establish a Quiet Zone (NOI) submitted to and reviewed by the Federal Railroad Administration. The estimated cost for capital improvements to provide Supplemental Safety Measures for crossings within the corridor totals $50,000. The City of Sebastian is willing to contribute 10 percent of the Quiet Zone street crossing capital improvement project totaling $500,000 per the FRA Quiet Zone Calculator. It is anticipated that the 90% design plans and cost estimate per AAF project will provide a more detailed construction cost in relation to the overall AAF sealed corridor safety improvements. This percentage may include other approved sources. The project is tentatively scheduled to begin with the implementation of the proposed All Aboard Florida railroad crossing improvements within the City of Sebastian which is expected to begin once the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) has been approved by FRA, design plans approved by the cooperating agencies and construction to begin in late 2018. Please contact me for any project coordination. Thank you for your consideration.
