Montrose OKs $48,000 contract with BNSF for Clementa Avenue crossing work
Summary
Council approved a formal contract with BNSF Railway for the Clementa Avenue crossing, with a contract amount of about $48,000 to be paid from capital funds and an approximate six-week lead time for the work, per staff.
The City Council voted to approve a contractual agreement with BNSF Railway for the Clementa Avenue crossing at its March 9 meeting. Staff told the council the contract remains at approximately $48,000 and that the cost will come from the city's capital account.
Staff said BNSF anticipates roughly a six-week lead time after contract execution. Council discussed logistics, the need to have quotes ready to pave once BNSF completes work, and the possibility of arranging a contingent blanket amount to enable prompt action when BNSF schedules the work.
The council passed resolution 2026-09 approving the agreement by voice vote (recorded as 4-0). Staff said they will follow up with scope details and cost quotes needed for the city's paving work adjacent to the crossing.
