SUPPLEMENTAL
PUBLIC HIGHWAY AT-GRADE CROSSING
IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is made as of the day of , 20 , by and
between UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY, a Delaware corporation, or its predecessor
in interest, with a mailing address at 1400 Douglas Street, MS 1690, Omaha, Nebraska, 68179-1690
("Railroad"), and the COUNTY OF MARICOPA, an Arizona political subdivision with a mailing
address at 2901 West Durango Street, Phoenix, Arizona 85009 ("County").
RECITALS:
By instrument dated February 5, 1982, the Southern Pacific Transportation Company and the
State of Arizona entered into an agreement (the "Original Agreement"), identified in the records of
the Railroad as Folder No. 2668-53, Lease Audit No. S192247, Deed Audit No. 61492, covering the
construction, maintenance, use and repair of the 107 th Avenue at-grade public road crossing, (DOT
No. 741-800G), at Railroad's Mile Post 893.52 on the Railroad's Phoenix Subdivision near Cashion
(Tolleson), in Maricopa County, Arizona. (hereinafter the "Roadway").
The County now desires to undertake as its project (the "Project") the reconstruction,
widening, signal improvement and preemption of the existing Roadway. The existing
aforementioned roadway, as reconstructed, widened and improved is hereinafter the "Roadway" and
where the Roadway crosses the Railroad's property is the "Crossing Area" in the location shown on
the Railroad Location Print marked Exhibit A, and specified in the Detailed Print marked Exhibit
A-1, with each exhibit being attached hereto and hereby made a part hereof.
The Railroad named herein is successor in interest to the Southern Pacific Transportation
Company and the County named herein has taken ownership and maintenance responsibilities of the
Roadway from the State of Arizona.
The right of way granted by Southern Pacific Transportation Company to the State of Arizona
under the terms of the Original Agreement is not sufficient to allow for the widening of the road
crossing constructed under the Original Agreement. Therefore, under this Agreement, the Railroad
will be granting additional right of way right to the County to facilitate the reconstruction, widening
and signal improvements and preemption of the road crossing. The portion of Railroad's property
that County needs a right to use in connection with the road crossing (including the right of way area
covered under the Original Agreement) is described in the Legal Descriptions collectively marked
Exhibit A-2, and illustrated in the Survey Prints collectively marked Exhibit A-3, with each exhibit
being attached hereto and hereby made a part hereof (the "Crossing Area").
The Railroad and the County are entering into this agreement to cover the above.
