Railroad Review Process. All design and construction submittals shall be transmitted to the Railroad Local Representative. The submittal will then be forwarded to the Railroad’s Central Engineering department. The Central Engineering department shall have the option of reviewing the project documents in-house or by using an outside consultant. If an outside consultant is used to review the design documents, the Central Engineering department representative will arrange for communication with the Applicant to resolve design issues. During the review process, the Railroad Local Representative shall be the point of contact for resolving outstanding issues. It should be noted that the Railroad’s review and approval of construction documents does not relieve the Applicant and/or Engineer-of-Record from the ultimate responsibility and liability for damages to Railroad property during and after construction of the proposed Grade Separation Project, nor does it relieve the Applicant and the Contractor from their responsibilities, obligations and/or liabilities under the C & M Agreement and the Contractor’s Right-of-Entry Agreement (if applicable). Railroad’s approval of construction documents will be given with the understanding that Railroad makes no representations or warranty as to the validity, accuracy, legal compliance or completeness of such documents and that any reliance by the Applicant, Engineer-of-Record or Contractor on such documents is at the risk of Applicant, Engineer-of-Record and Contractor.
