addition, this contract is subject to any additional restrictions, limitations, conditions or any statute
enacted by the Congress or the State Legislature that may affect the provisions, terms or funding of
this contract in any manner. It is mutually agreed that if the Congress or the State Legislature does
not appropriate sufficient funds for the program, this contract shall be amended to reflect any
reduction of funds.

obligations from the completed phase(s), will be used in conjunction with the required additional
federal funds for the next phase of work. Authorization of federal funds will be performed by
Caltrans, aligned with the project schedule and provided the state has sufficient Obligation Authority
(OA) and available federal funds to undertake this action.

Scope of Work
Crossing Current Conditions:
The crossing is very heavily used with a high ADT and high pedestrian use due to the close proximity
to the Cal Poly San Luis Obispo campus. The campus is located east of the tracks and residential
apartments and restaurants west of the tracks. There is a single UP Coast subdivision mainline track
at the crossing. The crossing has 5 travel lanes (2 westbound and 3 eastbound), 2 bicycle lanes, and
2 sidewalks through the crossing. The sidewalks in the northwest and southwest quadrants are in poor
condition. The sidewalks in the northeast and southeast quadrants were recently refurbished as part
of the new bicycle path along California Blvd. The crossing has 2 Commission Standard 9 (flashing
light signal assembly with automatic gates) warning devices. The Foothill and California Blvd
