Track Maintenance Clause Samples
The Track Maintenance clause outlines the responsibilities and standards for maintaining railway tracks or similar infrastructure. It typically specifies the frequency and type of inspections, repairs, and upkeep required to ensure the tracks remain safe and operational, and may assign these duties to a particular party, such as a contractor or property owner. By clearly defining maintenance obligations, this clause helps prevent accidents, ensures regulatory compliance, and allocates responsibility for ongoing track safety and performance.
Track Maintenance. The Department shall, during the term of this Agreement, cause CSXT or other contractors to maintain the Virginia Tracks in a condition that will accommodate the operation of the Service, and no less than that required to prevent any downgrade to the Virginia Tracks below Class 4 pursuant to 49 C.F.R. § 213.9 (or any successor regulation). However, the Department shall have no duty to maintain the CSXT Tracks, and the Department does not guarantee the condition of the Virginia Tracks or that the Service will not be delayed or interrupted. If the Commissions contend the Department has failed to cause CSXT or other contractors to maintain the Virginia Tracks as anticipated by this Article Six, the Commissions may submit written notice of such contention to the Department, and within 30 days of such written notice the parties shall meet and confer to address and resolve such failure. If such meeting and conference does not finally resolve the issues noticed in the written notice submitted by the Commissions, either party may submit the matter pursuant to the dispute resolution provisions of this Agreement. However, in no event shall such failure, including but not limited to any FRA findings or reports, impose any liability on any of the Virginia Indemnitees except as provided by Article Nine hereof with respect to gross negligence, nor shall any such failure absolve the Commissions of any of the obligations imposed upon them by Article Nine hereof.
