NOTICE OF INTENT TO WORK
Mr. D. C. Eckis, P.E.
City Engineer /Public Works Director
City of Sebastian
P. 0. Box 780127
Sebastian, Florida 32978
Dear Mr. Eckis:
We are in receipt of your correspondence of September 9, 1991, on the
above -noted matter. With this writing, we will address the two points
you raise.
The first point addresses the matter of the license agreement under which
the crossing is sanctioned. You make the point that your City has not
formally accepted responsibility from Indian River County.
As resolution of this matter, we will prepare and offer your office a
form of License Agreement for handling with your City.
The second point concerned the design of the work now planned, and sug-
gested the City may wish to seek a proposal from a licensed contractor
in the matter of installing the approach pavement materials.
In this instance, our work is to rehabilitate an existing at -grade
crossing of a railroad in accordance with Florida Department of Trans-
portation Department of Highway Standard Index 560, Type T- Modified.
The approach paving and marking is to be of materials and workmanship
in general accordance with the Florida Department of Transportation
Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction.
If you wish to evaluate the work of repaving the approaches, you should
advise your bidder that the Railway will remove all paving and crossing
material in an area the length of the crossing and approximately 8 feet
both sides of the centerline of the track. The track will be rehabili-
tated and raised approximately 1} inches above the current elevation.
We would then reinstall the concrete segments of the road surface.

Your contractor's responsibility would be to, at the direction of Railway
supervision, install all asphalt materials to reconstruct the roadway
surface, to include filling of the volume between the track rails and
the crossing slab segments. Of course, the raise in track elevation would
require a feathered distance beyond the surface area excavated in the work
of removing the construction.
We do note that this work is of a small volume of asphalt materials and
requires smaller equipment and considerable hand work.
We do wish to progress the work in the near future. May I have your
authority to bill the City for this needed work, and your election as
relates to furnishing and reinstalling the asphalt paving materials.
Very truly you s,
W. S. STORE
Chief Engineer
