MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />OCTOBER 28, 2015 <br />revising the work scope, the Engineer was able to get that pricing down to <br />$50,000. The Administrator pointed out that, as the Council is aware, <br />median work is required at the County Road B-2 railroad crossing in order <br />to qualify the establishment of quiet zones within the City. <br />The Administrator reported that recently the City learned of a rubberized <br />curbing product that could be used as an alternative to the proposed <br />concrete curbing planned for the County Road B-2 railroad crossing. This <br />product is approved by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for this <br />use. Estimated cost of this product is between $10,000 and $12,000 with <br />City crews doing the installation work, The Administrator reported that <br />the City of Plymouth has used this rubberized curbing for the past three <br />years and has had no concerns. The Administrator further reported that <br />there have been no concerns relative to snowplowing, frost, etc. The <br />Administrator recommended that the rubberized median product be <br />utilized for the County Road B-2 railroad crossing. He indicated that <br />should the use of this product prove unsuccessful, the City could combine <br />the installation of concrete curbing with a future street project at a more <br />economical price than the $50,000 currently quoted. <br />McGraw introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br />RESOLUTION NO. 2015-10-215 — APPROVING THE USE OF THE <br />QWICKKURB PRODUCT AT THE COUNTY ROAD B-2 RAILROAD <br />CROSSING AS RECOMMENDED BY THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR <br />The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Fischer. <br />Ayes (5). <br />Nays (0).
