Liverpool & Boll Weevil Seminole Gulf Proposals

body

 

REQUESTED MOTION:

Request to approve the agreements with Seminole Gulf Railway in the amount of $29,542.50 for SW Liverpool Road and SW Boll Weevil Road in the amount of $200,000 (or $180,000).

 

SUMMARY:

Seminole Gulf Railway has requested the upgrade of the SW Liverpool Road and SW Boll Weevil Road railway crossings.  A portion of the work on SW Liverpool Road is funded through Seminole Gulf’s CRISI grant.  The total cost to replace the tracks through the roadway to Seminole Gulf is $29,542.50.  SW Boll Weevil Street crossing is not covered by the CRISI grant.  The fee for Seminole Gulf work is $200,000.  Seminole Gulf has offered a $20,000 credit against the cost of the Boll Weevil crossing if the County agrees to close the crossing at Senate Street.

 

Both crossings will include a 30-wide crossing to allow for a standard width 2-lane roadway.  On Boll Weevil, Seminole Gulf has included replacement of the road cross drain.  DeSoto County will be responsible for the paving and maintenance of traffic for this work.
