31-26-23.
When any highway along, under, or over which such facilities have been constructed
shall be changed, the permit holder shall, upon ninety days' notice in writing, remove or relocate such
facilities at its own cost.
If any highway or public entity infrastructure is constructed or changed
within the public right-of-way, the public entity or its representative shall notify any affected utility
that has electrical lines, communications lines, or pipelines and allow the affected utility to
participate in a coordination meeting during the planning or design phase of the project, except as
provided in this section. The coordination meeting shall allow the affected utility to review the
project scope or design and understand goals and objectives of the proposed project. The meeting
shall allow the public entity and affected utility to discuss options to minimize construction delays,
limit the impact of the construction on utility facilities, and to minimize or eliminate costs associated
with any utility removal or relocation. Such options may not cause the public entity to incur
additional costs unless an agreement is reached to have the affected utility pay for the additional
costs incurred by the public entity.
