Box 1529 Lake City, FL Re: Bascom Norris Drive Phase 5 Dear Mr. Williams, As you are aware Anderson Columbia Co., Inc. was recently awarded the contract for the construction of Bacsom Norris Drive, Phase 5. Part of the Phase 5 construction includes a grade separation crossing over the CSX Railroad. The project plans note that "A temporary at grade crossing will not be permitted under any circumstances. Contractor shall plan work accordingly as to avoid any at grade crossing ofthe tracks". Anderson Columbia would like to get approval for the allowance of a temporary at grade crossing to be used during construction of the bridge at the same location. Anderson Columbia has had discussions with CSX and they are receptive to.the temporary crossing. Anderson Columbia would accomplish all permitting and insurance requirements through CSX and provide such verification to Columbia County prior to the construction of the temporary crossing. I have discussed this with Mr. Steve Wilson, HOR Engineering, and he advised me that I would have to get approval through Columbia County for such. I am therefore requesting approval, contingent on approval by CSX, of a temporary at grade crossing on the Bascom Norris Phase 5 construction project.
