RAILROAD REPRESENTATIVES Sample Clauses
The "Railroad Representatives" clause defines the rights and roles of individuals or entities designated by the railroad company to act on its behalf in matters related to the agreement. Typically, this clause specifies who may serve as a representative, outlines their authority to inspect work, approve plans, or communicate requirements, and may require the other party to coordinate with these representatives for access or compliance purposes. Its core function is to ensure clear lines of communication and authority, facilitating efficient oversight and coordination between the railroad and other parties involved in the project or agreement.
RAILROAD REPRESENTATIVES. A. Railroad representatives, conductors, flag persons or watch persons will be provided by the Railroad at the expense of the Agency or Contractor (as stated elsewhere in these bid documents) to protect Railroad facilities, property and movements of its trains and engines. In general, the Railroad will furnish such personnel or other protective services as follows:
1. When any part of any equipment or object, such as erection or construction activities, is standing or being operated within 25 feet, measured horizontally from centerline, of any track on which trains may operate.
2. For any excavation below the elevation of track subgrade when, in the opinion of the Railroad MTM Representative, the track or other Railroad facilities may be subject to settlement or movement.
3. During any clearing, grubbing, excavation or grading in proximity to Railroad facilities which, in the opinion of the Railroad MTM Representative, may affect Railroad facilities or inhibit operations.
