Title
Amendment to Agreement No. L-0-0006 with the Union Pacific Railroad for the Passenger Rail Service Enhancement and Infrastructure Improvements to Implement Two Additional Passenger Train Pairs
Overview
On February 17, 2020, the Los Angeles - San Diego - San Luis Obispo Rail Corridor Agency Board of Directors authorized the Managing Director to negotiate and execute an agreement with the Union Pacific Railroad to design and construct the capital improvements necessary to implement two additional roundtrips north of Los Angeles. The program of improvements was developed over the preceding year, including the initiation of design in December 2019. The Union Pacific Railroad, through the final negotiation efforts, has requested the agreement reflect the effective date of December 1, 2019, to address early work performed to advance the design of key projects necessary to meet the initial goal of implementing the additional service by the end of 2020.
Recommendation(s)
Authorize the Managing Director to negotiate and execute Amendment No. 1 to agreement No. L-0-0006 between the Los Angeles - San Diego - San Luis Obispo Rail Corridor Agency and Union Pacific Railroad to reflect an effective date of December 1, 2019.
