RECOMMENDATION
Approval of this Resolution
BACKGROUND
This project will repair damaged sections of the spur trackage to BNSF operational standards
which will restore rail service to those affected industries that currently utilize the railroad spur
for receiving materials and shipping finished product. Additionally, it will enable rail service to
continue to be provided in the eastern portion of the Pueblo Municipal Airport Industrial Park for
potential new industries.
The spur was constructed in 1942 for the Army Air Base and until recently this spur has had
little maintenance since it was built. This project also provides for a multi-year maintenance
contract.
Attached is a bid summary showing the results of competitive bids on this project.

Pending the transfer of funds from Project Account Code No. ED9999 – 1992-2016 Sales and
Use Tax Capital Improvement Projects, per this Resolution, to Project No. 13-073 (ED1102)
PMAIP Railroad Spur Renovation and Maintenance, this project will be paid from Project
Account Code No. ED1102 PMAIP Railroad Spur Repairs.
