Such plan shall be based on all applicable Codes and Standards, FRA, AREMA, and similar equivalent organizations as well as manufacturers’ recommended practices. Public roadway maintenance shall be performed in accordance with standard practices utilized by the Third Party owning the roadway, and shall take into account, but not be limited to, the area shown in the maintenance delineation drawings in Book 5 Engineering Data. Concessionaire may vary from manufacturers’ recommended practices if Concessionaire deems it reasonable and prudent provided that Concessionaire provides a reasonable explanation for the deviation that relates the proposed alternate practice to the specific needs of the Project. The Infrastructure Maintenance Plan shall include the planned schedule for maintenance, inspection, repair, and testing and at a minimum the following: • inspection cycles and procedures; • routine maintenance cycles and procedures; • test cycles and procedures; • component and equipment malfunction, and failure reporting requirements; • repair and corrective action requirements; and • component and equipment Maintenance Work as applicable for the following: o trackwork associated activities including, at a minimum: ▪ assessment of rail condition; ▪ rail grinding and profiling; ▪ rail replacement; ▪ fastener replacement; ▪ tie replacement; ▪ switch point inspection and replacement; ▪ guard rail replacement; ▪ insulated joint replacement; ▪ tamping and alignment adjustment of ballasted track; ▪ assessment of grade crossings; ▪ replacement of grade crossing panels, rail, and fasteners; ▪ rail-to-ground resistance and stray current monitoring and control; ▪ corrosion control monitoring, inspection and repair; and ▪ re-railing a derailed Train. o Structure associated activities; o conduits and duct bank activities; o roadways, pedestrian paths, sidewalks, bike paths, and walkways activities; o safety training requirements; o environmental compliance requirements; and o hazardous conditions/events requirements and plan for mitigation.
Infrastructure Maintenance Plan. The CHSRA will submit a maintenance-of-way (MOW) plan to FRA for review and comment. The MOW Plan will generally describe how the maintenance of the FCS track infrastructure, once completed, will be maintained addressing inspection and maintenance activities and frequency intervals (time or mileage as appropriate) typical for high-speed rail infrastructure.
Infrastructure Maintenance Plan. (a) The Infrastructure Maintenance Plan shall address, at a minimum, the following topics:
