DeLEUW CATHER Msrs. Warnick/Kawar June 28, 1984 Page two Driveway and entrance to the County Fairgrounds, Gate 2. It was originally proposed that the existing entrance to the County Fairgrounds would remain in its present location, approximately opposite Station 69+50. However, this location became the subject of extensive discussions and reviews by City and County, and two or three other locations were developed. The final decision was to construct an entirely new entrance located opposite Sta. 65+39. This required revising plans which were substantially complete, involving drainage, median layout, signing and strip- ing, landscaping, and irrigation. It also required the length of our project to be extended approximately 300 feet to the west, to provide a left-turn pocket for the new entrance, all for the Bernal Ave. Underpass. Changes involving transfer of railroad ownership from Western Pacific to Union Pacific. Our original bridge designs were based on preliminary drawings approved by the Western Pacific's Bridge Engineer in 1982. Although we were able to avoid complete redesign, considerable effort was involved in substantiating the validity of our designs, providing legal back- ground and demonstrating to Union Pacific that it would be responsible for costs of any design changes or increases in cost of construction. Nevertheless, on the very day that bids were opened by the City, we received a marked set of prints of the bridge structural drawings from the UPRR's Chief Engineer Office, Omaha, requesting changes to the deck dimension~ ballast trough~ precast boxes, and details of the three underpass structures. Mr. Warnick verbally authorized us to make the requested changes, which are described in a separate letter to the City. Changes to temporary track locations near Sunol and Radum, shown on Sheets R1 and R2 of the Plans. With the new management at Union Pacific, the previously designed temporary track locations, as depicted on Drawings R1 and R2, and which were taken from the WPRR- SPTCO. Joint Trackage Agreement, were redesigned by Union Pacific. It was necessary for us to revise the Plans and Special Provisions to reflect these changes in Addendum No. 1.
