The Agency shall reimburse BNSF :for all costs of <br /> supplemental inspection services. <br /> Within 90 days of the conclusion of the Project and final acceptance by BNSF, the Agency will <br /> provide BNSF with a complete electronic set of the bridge plans labeled"As Built". Those plans <br /> will reflect any and all deviations from the original plans that occurred during construction. The <br /> "As Built" plans will be submitted in Micro Station *.dgn electronic format (preferred) or <br /> AutoCAD *.dwg format. Electronic plans are to be submitted in the original format used for <br /> CAD plan preparation and not converted to another format prior to submission. Actual <br /> measured "as constructed" clearances shall be shown as well as depth, size and location of all <br /> foundation components. The plans shall show dimensioned locations of existing and relocated <br /> utilities. <br /> BRIDGE MAINTENANCE: <br /> The Agency will be responsible for maintenance and repair of the Structure including the earth <br /> retention components, embankment slopes, erosion control, surface drainage, fencing, deck <br /> drains, landscaping, paint, walkways, handrails, lighting, and other improvements associated <br /> with the Project. <br /> Fencing and other pedestrian access controls within BNSF's right-of-way and incorporated into <br /> the Project shall be designed and maintained by the Agency. Trespasser control shall be the <br /> responsibility of the Agency. Graffiti removal will be the responsibility of the Agency. <br /> BRIDGE INSPECTION: <br /> The Agency will conduct annual routine structural inspections. In the event of an earthquake, <br /> fire, flood, damage from vehicular impacts or other emergent situations, the Agency will provide <br /> an immediate inspection by qualified personnel and notify BNSF of damage that may affect safe <br /> passage of trains. If necessary the Agency will embargo weights or provide lane closures or <br /> 58 of 60 <br />
