Re: License Agreements between St. Louis Southwestern Railway Company
and City of Coppell; Our File No. 211
Dear Mr. Ratliff:
The above mentioned License Agreement will provide the City of Coppell with
a license to cross the railroad property with a water line in one instance and with a
sewer line under the second license. In my letter of March 21, I mentioned that Bill
Thompson and his contractor would actually be constructing these improvements over
this right-of-way, but that the railroad would hold the city responsible for the operation.
I recommended that the city require Thompson's agreement with the contractor to
provide indemnification to the city. Nathan Maier Engineers have supplied us with a
copy of the indemnification provisions and provisions for insurance which they plan to
include in the contract documents. These provisions provide that the contractor will
indemnify the City of Coppell as well as Nathan Maier Engineers and Creekview Estates
Limited Partnership against liability growing out of the construction which will be done
within these right-of-ways. This provision coupled with the requirement that the
contractor maintain adequate insurance coverage satisfies my concern in this regard.
In my letter of March 21, I did point out that this typical License Agreement
is terribly one-sided in favor of the Railroad Company. The agreement provides that
the city would have to remove these improvements from the railroad property upon 30
days' written notice from the railroad. I know of no instance wherein the Railroad
Company has used this provision, and based upon past experience with the railroad, it
is my understanding that they will not grant a more permanent easement.
At any rate, my concerns concerning the indemnity provision have been satisfied,
and I recommend the city proceed with the execution of the License Agreements.
Very truly yours,
LWJ/sb

2.6.2.
a preliminary schedule of values for all of the Work which will
include quantities and prices of items aggregating the Contract
Price and will subdivide the Work into component parts in suff£-
cient detail to serve as the basis for progress payments during
construction. Such prices will include an appropriate amount of
overhead and profit applicable to each item of Work which will
be confirmed in writing by CONTRACTOR at the time of submission.
2.7. Before any Work at the site is started, CONTRACTOR shall deliver
to OWNER, with a copy to ENGINEER, certificates (and other evidence of insur-
ance requested by OWNER) which CONTRACTOR is required to purchase and maintain
in accordance with paragraphs 5.3 and 5.4.
Preconstruc~lon Conference:
2.8. At a time determined by ENGINEER, a conference attended by CON-
TRACTOR, ENGINEER and others as appropriate will be held to discuss the sched-
ules referred to in paragrap5 2.6, to discuss procedures for handling Shop
Drawings and other submittals and for processing Applications for Payment, and
to establish a working understanding among the parties as to the Work.
Finalizing Schedules:
2.9. At least ten days before submission of the first Application for
Payment, a conference attended by CONTRACTOR, ENGINEER, and others as appro-
priate, will be held to finalize the schedules submitted in accordance with
paragraph 2.6. The finalized progress schedule will be acceptable to ENGINEER
as providing an orderly progression of the Work to completion within the
Contract Time, but such acceptance will neither impose on ENGINEER responsibi-
lity for the progress or scheduling of the Work, nor relieve CONTRACTOR from
full responsibility therefor. The finalized schedule of Shop Drawing submis-
sions will be acceptable to ENGINEER as providing a workable arrangement for
processing the submissions. The finalized schedule of values will be accepta-
ble to ENGINEER as to form and substance.
ARTICLE 3 - CONTRACT DOCUMENTS: INTENT, AMENDINg, REUSE
Intent:
3.1. The Contract Documents comprise the entire agreement between OWNER
and CONTRACTOR concerning the Work. The Contract Documents are complementary;
what is called for by one is as binding as if called for by all. In case of
conflict between any of the Contract Documents, priority of interpretation
shall be in the following order: Signed Agreement, Performance and Payment
Bonds, Special Bonds (if any), Proposal, Supplementary Conditions, Notice to
Contractor, Technical Specifications, Supplementary Technical Specifications,
Plans, and General Conditions of Agreement. The Contract Documents will be
construed in accordance with the law of the place of the Project.
3.2. It is the intent of the Contract Documents to describe a function-
ally complete Project (or part thereof) to be constructed in accordance with

new samples for review and approval. CONTRACTOR shall direct specific atten-
tion in writing to revisions other than the corrections called for by ENGINEER

by paragraph 6.25.2, and ENGINEER has given written approval of each such
variation by a specific written notation thereof incorporated in or accompany-

and court and arbitration costs) arising out of or resulting from the perfor-
mance of the Work, providing that any such claim, damage, loss, or expense (a)
is attributable to bodily injury, sickness, disease, or death, or to injury to
or destruction of tangible property (other than the Work itself), including
the loss of use resulting therefrom and (b) is caused in whole or in part by
any negligent act or omission of CONTRACTOR, any Subcontractor, any person or

of Coppell (CITY), Nathan D. Maier Consulting Engineers, Inc. (ENGINEER), and
the Creek View Estates Limited Partnership (PARTNERSHIP) from and against all

Southwestern Railroad Company's (LICENSOR) line of railroad or any omission,
actively or passively negligent or otherwise, of an employee of LICENSOR.
CONTRACTOR expressly assumes all risk of damage to said structure or appurte-
nances from any cause whatsoever.

consultants, agents, or employees by any employee of CONTRACTOR, any Subcon-
tractor, any person or organization directly or indirectly employed by any of
them to perform or furnish any of the Work, or anyone for whose acts any of
them may be liable, the indemnification obligation under paragraph 6.30 shall
not be limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of damages,
compensation, or benefits payable by or for CONTRACTOR or any such Subcontrac-
tor or other person or organization under workers' or workmen's compensation
acts, disability benefit acts, or other employee benefit acts.
6.32. The obligations of CONTRACTOR under paragraph 6.30 shall not

ARTICIE 7 OTHER WORK
Related Work at Site:
7.1. OWNER may perform other work related to the Project at the site by
OWNER's own forces, have other work performed by utility owners or let other
~..~ect contracts therefor which shall contain General Conditions similar to
these. If the fact that such other work is to be performed was not noted in
GC-21
the Contract Documents, written notice thereof will be given to CONTRACTOR
prior to starting any such other work; and, if CONTRACTOR believes that such
performance will involve additional expense to CONTRACTOR or requires additio-
nal time and the parties are unable to agree as to the extent thereof, CON-
TRACTOR may make a claim therefor as provided in Articles 11 and 12.
7.2. CONTRACTOR shall afford each utility owner and other contractor
who is a party to such a direct contract (or OWNER, if OWNER is performing the
additional work with OWNER's employees) proper and safe access to the site and
a reasonable opportunity for the introduction and storage of materials and
equipment and the execution of such work, and shall properly connect and
coordinate the Work with theirs. CONTRACTOR shall do all cutting, fitting,
and patching of the work that may be required to make its several parts come
together properly and integrate with such other work. CONTRACTOR shall not
endanger any work of others by cutting, excavating, or otherwise altering
their work, and will only cut or alter their work with the written consent of
ENGINEER and the others whose work will be affected. The duties and responsi-
bilities of CONTRACTOR under this paragraph are for the benefit of such uti-
lity owners and other contractors to the extent that there are comparable
provisions for the benefit of CONTRACTOR in said direct contracts between
OWNER and such utility owners and other contractors.
7.3. If any part of CONTRACTOR's Work depends on proper execution or
results upon the work of any such other contractor or utility owner (or
OWNER), CONTRACTOR shall inspect and promptly report"to ENGINEER in writing
any delays, defects, or deficiencies in such work that render it unavailable

Creekview Estates - Utility Agreement between
city of Coppell and St. Louis Southwestern Railway Co.
We have reviewed the above referenced subject and have no
objections to the project from an engineering perspective. This
waterline crossing is a requirement of the city for this
development to ensure a looped feed system to the area. The
construction plans have been approved by the City.
Per conversation with Mr. Larry Jackson on March 18, 1988, he
stated that the city of Coppell should receive indemnification
from Thompson and/or his contractor prior to the city executing
this agreement. Also, Thompson should handle any costs
associated with this agreement. We agree with these
recommendations.
It is our understanding that Mr. Larry Jackson is pursuing these
issues with Nathan D. Maier Consulting Engineers at this time.
Please call if you need further assistance on this matter.

Re:

Agreement with Railroad to Cross Railway with Water Line
Dear Mr. Ratliff:
I have reviewed the agreement which is enclosed and which was the subject of
Mr. Nathan D. Maier's letter of March 4 and your tickler form of March 10 requesting
response due by March 23.
It is my understanding that Bill Thompson and his contractor will be actually
constructing the water line which will cross the railroad to serve his Creekview Estates
property. This agreement is between the city and the railroad wherein the railroad
grants the City of Coppell the right to construct, reconstruct, maintain, and operate
the water line over its right-of-way. The City of Coppell is the licensee of this right
and pursuant to the agreement and as far as the railroad is concerned will be responsible
for the construction and maintenance. This includes the city's indemnification of the
railroad set out in paragraph 5 and the right of the railroad to terminate the agreement
and even requiring the city to remove the water line upon 30 days written notice.
Although terribly one-sided, this may be the standard agreement of the railroad
and one which they will not agree to modify.
If the city signs this agreement with the railroad, we would want to obtain from
Thompson and his contractors an indemnification agreement equal to that required by
the railroad which would protect the city and also an agreement concerning the contractor
maintaining sufficient insurance to protect the city.
I also note that paragraph 9 states that no work shall be commenced by any
contractor until the contractor has entered into the railroad's ,'licensor's standard

Dear Mr. Ratliff:
Enclosed please find two copies of an agreement concerning an 8"
waterline which crosses a St. Louis Southwestern Rallway Company right-of-way.
This waterline serves Creekview Estates. I have also enclosed sheet 16 of 20
from the Creekview Estates construction plans which shows the railroad
crossing.
The agreement is between the City of Coppell and St. Louis Southwestern
Railway Company, since the City of Coppell will ultimately own and maintain
the system. The agreement appears to be a fairly standard form. Please give
us a call if you have any problems with this agreement. It has taken us many
months to get this agreement from the railroad company; we hope you will not
have any problems with it and will be able to execute the documents expedi-
tiously. I have also forwarded copies to Wayne Ginn and Larry Jackson.
