It is mutually negotiated between the parties that the indemnification obligation <br /> shall include all claims brought by Agency's employees against BNSF, its agents, <br /> servants, employees or otherwise, and Agency expressly waives its immunity <br /> under the industrial insurance act (RCW Title 51) and assumes potential liability <br /> for all actions brought by its employees. <br /> 17. Agency must give BNSF's Manager of Public Projects written notice to proceed <br /> ("Notice to Proceed") with the railroad work after receipt of necessary funds for the <br /> Project. BNSF will not begin the railroad work (including, without limitation, <br /> procurement of supplies, equipment or materials) until written notice to proceed is <br /> received from Agency. <br /> ARTICLE IV) JOINT OBLIGATIONS <br /> IN CONSIDERATION of the premises, the parties hereto mutually agree to the <br /> following: <br /> 1. All work contemplated in this Agreement must be performed in a good and <br /> workmanlike manner and each portion must be promptly commenced by the party <br /> obligated hereunder to perform the same and thereafter diligently prosecuted to <br /> conclusion in its logical order and sequence. Furthermore, any changes or <br /> modifications during construction which affect BNSF will be subject to BNSF's written <br /> approval prior to the commencement of any such changes or modifications from the <br /> Bruce Sparling. <br /> 2. The work hereunder must be done in accordance with the Bridge Requirements <br /> set forth on Exhibit F and the detailed plans and specifications approved by BNSF. <br /> 3. Agency must require its contractor(s) to reasonably adhere to the Project's <br /> construction schedule for all Project work. The parties hereto mutually agree that <br /> BNSF's failure to complete the railroad work in accordance with the construction <br /> schedule due to inclement weather or unforeseen railroad emergencies will not <br /> constitute a breach of this Agreement by BNSF and will not subject BNSF to any <br /> liability. Regardless of the requirements of the construction schedule, BNSF reserves <br /> the right to reallocate the labor forces assigned to complete the railroad work in the <br /> event of an emergency to provide for the immediate restoration of railroad operations of <br /> either (BNSF or its related railroads) or to protect persons or property on or near any <br /> BNSF owned property. BNSF will not be liable for any additional costs or expenses <br /> resulting from any such reallocation of its labor forces. The parties mutually agree that <br /> any reallocation of labor forces by BNSF pursuant to this provision and any direct or <br /> indirect consequences or costs resulting from any such reallocation will not constitute a <br /> breach of this Agreement by BNSF. <br /> 10 <br />
