📋 Tender Overview
Scope :
The proposed project involves final design and construction activities for various safety improvements (e.g., signals, gates, crossing signage, etc.) at multiple highway-rail grade crossings, as well as trespassing prevention measures (e.g., barriers and/or fencing), in Davenport, IA. With the proximity of Canadian Pacific Kansas City Railroad’s (CPKC) rail line to the city’s commercial riverfront district and multi-purpose trails, there are many conflict points along the rail line, creating safety challenges that require the trains to frequently sound the horn for an estimated nine-mile distance. The project aligns with the selection criteria by enhancing safety as it will help improve vehicle and pedestrian safety, especially in an area with anticipated increased freight rail traffic. The city of Davenport, IA and CPKC will provide a 20 percent non-Federal match.
