NOTICE OF COMME1VCIIyIENT OF WORK -FLAGGING. A The Contractor agrees to notify the Railroad Representative at least ten (10) working days in advance of Contractor commencing its work and at least ten (10) working days in advance of proposed performance of any work by the Contractor in which any person or equipment will be within twenty-five (25) feet of any track, or will be near enough to any track that any equipment extension (such as, but not limited to, a crane boom) will reach towithintwenty-five (25) feet of any track. No work of any kind shall be performed, and no person, equipment, machinery, tool(s), material(s), vehicle(s), or thing(s) shall be located, operated, placed, or stored within twenty-five (25) feet of any of Railroad's track(s) at any time, for any reason, unless and until a Railroad flagman is provided to watch for trains. Upon receipt of such ten (10)-day notice, the Railroad Representative will determine and inform the Contractor whether a flagman need be present and whether the Contractor need implement any special protective or safety measures. If flagging or other special protective or safety measures are performed by the Railroad, such services will be provided at Contractor's expense with the understanding that if the Railroad provides any flagging or other services, the Contractor shall not be relieved of any of its responsibilities or liabilities set forth herein. Contractor shall promptly pay to Railroad all charges connected with such services within thirty (30) days after presentation of a bill. B. The rate of pay per hour for each man will be the prevailing hourly rate in effect for an eight hour day for the class of men used during regularly assigned hours and overtime in accordance with Labor Agreements and Schedules in effect at the time the work is performed. In addition to the cost of such labor, a composite charge for vacation, holiday, health and welfare, supplemental sickness, Railroad Retirement and unemployment compensation, supplemental pension, Employees Liability and Property Damage and Administration will be included, computed on actual payroll. The composite charge will be the prevailing composite charge in effect on the day of execution of this agreement.

Reimbursement to the Railroad will be required covering the full eight hour day during which any flagman is furnished, unless he can be assigned to other Railroad work during a portion of such day, in which event reimbursement will not be required for the portion of the day during which the flagman is engaged in other Railroad work.
