Mobilization/De-Mobilization Costs will be added based on location. Reports and Locations will be delivered approximately 6 weeks after completion of data collection. The data collection may include client identification of ballast thresholds and developing client-specific defective tie threshold characterization. Both electronic and hardcopy, graphical reports are provided. Standard Terms and Conditions A Rail Radar® contract plan is to collect data over a set maximum number of calendar days, based on a reasonable average number of track access hours per day (over the period of the contract). A standby rate may apply, if wait time exceeds the schedule, due to unavailable track access or inclement weather. Any standby time that is due to Rail Radar® would not be charged. A typical quotation is based on the number of survey miles in a single consolidated survey program at an average speed of 20-25 mph for tie assessment only (without GPR) and 10-12 mph for ballast assessment. These estimates incorporate reduced speed for crossings, switches/frogs, guardrails, subdivision yards, etc. The travel speed may be slower due to other site conditions and weather. Rail Radar® reserves the right the update the cost quotation if the survey program is reduced by more than 15%. Daily work hours can vary and be extended beyond 8 hours to maximize data collection. Final approval with date to mobilize to client site will be upon the receipt of confirmation from the client to Rail Radar®. A deposit invoice will be issued by Rail Radar® for payment processing shortly after confirmation from the client. Once on site, expenses are non-refundable. Mobilization/De-mobilization costs are based on location. Rail Radar® reserves the right to de-mobilize should track access be unavailable. The quality of the data collected is critical to the results of the analysis. Consequently, factors beyond the control of Rail Radar® affecting collected data quality, will result in the suspension of survey activities until the condition improves (such as localized radio interference, inclement weather that results in excessive water pooling on track, or significant tie obscurity). Rail Radar® may not be able to provide GPR data if there are significant impediments obstructing the survey area. In order to better establish site-specific ballast threshold baselines (acceptable and fouled), the client is required to identify 2-3 locations of known acceptable and fouled ballast. Rail Radar® may take soil samples from these locations. Rail Radar® personnel will assist with preparing plans for the surveys with appropriate client personnel. All Rail Radar® test personnel are safety trained and insured. Rail Radar® will normally supply its own support vehicle, for spare parts, tools and luggage. It may be a Hi-Rail, depending on availability/need (i.e. when limited crossing access points). Rail Radar® will supply its own qualified operator/driver. Hi-Rail Vehicle: Hi-Rail vehicle can be provided by either Rail Radar® or the client. If provided by the client, it is recommended that the same Hi-Rail vehicle is provided throughout the survey to avoid time delays for additional removal and set-up of Rail Radar® equipment. Minor modifications are required for the Hi-Rail Vehicle associated with the installation of Rail Radar® equipment. For example: AC power inverter, GPR on rear of vehicle, video equipment on front of vehicle, and the installation of a tow-hitch receiver onto the underside frame of the bumper (either bolted or welded, depending on type of Hi-Rail). The initial assembly time for each new Hi-Rail installation is approximately 4-6 hours, with initial daily set-up time of approximately 1 hour, and crossing set-up time of approximately 10 minutes (to set-on for track access after take-off). The Hi-Rail should have an enclosed and heated rear cargo compartment for protection and access of Rail Radar® computer equipment. Rail Radar® will normally have 1-2 technicians located in the middle passenger seats, with access to the computer equipment in the rear cargo compartment (the number of technicians will depend on the type of assessment).
