1. INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW

The City of Moorpark is requesting proposals from qualified firms to provide professional

services to prepare an Evaluation and Establishment of Railroad Quiet Zones . The study

will determine the feasibility of railroad quiet zones through the City that include two (2)

at-grade crossings, on Moorpark Avenue and Spring Road, along the Southern California

Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA) railroad lines.

The feasibility of quiet zones shall follow the process established by the Federal Railroad

Administration (FRA) and the SCRRA Quiet Zone Implementation Guidelines

(Attachment 1). The consultant shall gather all necessary information and pertinent

factors that may be used in determining the necessary at-grade crossing improvements

to meet the requirements of the designation of quiet zones. This includes, but is not

limited to, FRA approval of the use of Engineering Alternate Safety Measures (ASMs)

and/or modified Supplemental Safety Measures (SSMs).

The public authority, as defined by the FRA, is the entity responsible for traffic control or

law enforcement at the public crossings (such as a city or county). Spring Road is within

the City’s jurisdiction and the City of Moorpark is the public authority. Moorpark Avenue

is part of State Route 23 and the State of California Department of Transportation

(Caltrans) is the public authority. Any establishment of a quiet zone may require

collaboration with both the City and the State for any proposed at-grade crossing

improvements.

In addition to the two, public at-grade railroad crossings, there is an existing Metrolink

Station that is situated in between Spring Road and Moorpark Avenue at 300 High Street.

The quiet zone feasibility shall also consider the passenger train station within the

proposed railroad quiet zones.

Proposers must have sufficient expertise and experience to complete the work described

in the Scope of Services, which generally includes:

Required Elements

1. Conduct traffic and queuing studies required to reflect current conditions of the

proposed quiet zones.

2. Prepare a quiet zones analysis including calculating a Quiet Zone Risk Index

(QZRI) and provide comparative analysis with the Nationwide Significant Risk

Threshold (NSRT) and Risk Index with Horns (RIWH).

3. Conduct diagnostic team evaluation meetings of all public, pedestrian, and private

highway-rail grade crossings that provide access to the public, or which provide

access to active industrial or commercial sites and are located in the proposed

quiet zone.

4. Prepare alternatives for implementing a quiet zone and cost estimates.

5. Determine and/or identify ASMs and SSMs for the at-grade crossings for FRA and

SCRRA consideration.

6. Coordinate submission of pertinent applications and receive approvals from the

FRA and California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to establish quiet zones.

7. Assist in seeking available grant funding opportunities through State and Federal

programs and other funding opportunities.

Optional Element

1. As an optional task, proposer shall provide level of effort to extend the quiet zone

to include the at-grade railroad crossing on Gabbert Road.
