23086.09 SAFETY MEASURES-PROTECTION OF OPERATIONS.
Contractor shall perform work in a safe manner and in conformity with the following standards:
A. Explosives.
Contractor shall not discharge any explosives on or in the vicinity of the CCP's property without
the prior consent of the CCP, which shall not be given if, in the sole discretion of the CCP, such
discharge would be dangerous or would interfere with the CCP's property or facilities. For the
purposes hereof, the "vicinity of the CCP's property" shall be deemed to be any place on the
CCP's property or in such close proximity to the CCP's property that the discharge of explosives
could cause injury to the CCP's employees or other persons, or cause damage to or interference
with the facilities or operations on the CCP's property. CCP reserves the right to impose
limitations on the transportation, handling, storage, security, and use of explosives as the CCP, in
the CCP's sole discretion, may deem to be necessary, desirable, or appropriate. In addition to
any limitations as may be specifically imposed:
1. Contractor shall provide no less than 48 hours written notice, excluding weekends and
holidays, before discharging any explosives.
2. Any explosives loaded in holes, placed or otherwise readied for discharge, shall be
discharged the same day during daylight hours, and at mutually acceptable times.
3. Contractor, at its own expense, shall take all precautionary measures and construct all
temporary shelters necessary to guard against danger of damage, destruction, or
interference arising out of or connected with any blasting or any transportation, handling,
storage, security, or use of explosives.
B. Obstructions to View.
Except as otherwise provided herein, Contractor shall not cause or permit the view along the
tracks of the CCP to be obstructed, nor place any combustible material on the crossing area, nor
erect any structures thereon except as allowed by the contract documents.
C. Excavation.
Contractor shall not excavate from existing slopes nor construct new slopes which are excessive
and may create hazards of slides or falling rock, impair, or endanger the clearance between
existing or new slopes and the tracks of the CCP. Contractor shall not perform work that may
disturb stability of any area or adversely affect CCP's tracks or facilities. Contractor, at its own
DS-23086, Page 9 of 20
expense, shall install and maintain adequate shoring and cribbing for all excavation or trenching
performed by them in connection with construction, maintenance, or other work. Shoring and
cribbing shall be constructed and maintained with materials and in a manner approved by CCP to
withstand all stresses likely to be encountered, including any stresses resulting from vibrations
caused by CCP's operations in the vicinity.
D. Drainage.
Contractor, at its expense, shall provide and maintain suitable facilities for draining the highway
and its appurtenances, and shall not suffer or permit drainage water to flow or collect upon
property of CCP that may adversely affect any of CCP’s operations, equipment or any third
parties with permitted facilities on CCP’s ROW. Contractor, at its own expense, shall provide
adequate passageway for the waters of any streams, bodies of water, and drainage facilities
(either natural or artificial, and including water from CCP's culverts and drainage facilities), so that
said waters may not, because of any facilities or work of Contractor, be impeded, obstructed,
diverted or caused to back up, overflow or damage the property of the CCP or any part thereof, or
property of others. Contractor shall not obstruct or interfere with existing ditches or drainage
facilities.
E. Clearances.
Contractor shall provide a minimum vertical clearance of 22.0 feet above top of rails and a
minimum lateral clearance of 12.5 feet from centerline of track nearest temporary construction
falsework. No materials, supplies, or equipment will be stored within 25 feet from centerline of any
railroad track, measured at right angles thereto.
Proposed changes to specified minimum clearances shall be submitted in writing to CCP, through
the Engineer, at least 30 calendar days in advance of the work. No work shall commence until
Engineer receives concurrence, in writing, from CCP that approval is given and that
arrangements have been made for flagging service, as may be necessary. CCP will have 15
calendar days to respond to the request.
F. Demolition of Existing Structures.
Contractor shall submit demolition plans to the Engineer for review and approval. Engineer will
forward such plans to CCP as identified in the project agreement for CCP to review and approve.
Demolition performed over or near CCP track will require proper protective shielding or other
measures (as identified on the plans) as maybe required by CCP, and Contractor shall be
required provide signed plans, signed by a Professional Engineer licensed in the State of Iowa,
and schedule for review and approval by CCP. Such protective shielding or measures shall be
designed for immediate removal by Contractor whenever instructed to do so by CCP. Demolition
shall not be undertaken until CCP has advised Engineer of its approval of the plans and
schedule, and Contractor has received the Engineer’s and CCP’s written approval of such
demolition plans and schedule. All such reviews and approvals or rejections will be completed by
the Engineer and CCP within 45 calendar days of receipt from Contractor.

walkways and track drainage encroachments or obstructions allowed during work hours while CCP’s
flagging service is provided shall be removed before the close of each work day. Walkways with railings
shall be constructed by Contractor over open excavations when in close proximity of track, and railings
shall not be closer than 8.5 feet horizontally from center line of tangent track or 9.5 feet horizontally from
centerline of curved track.
