What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill makes numerous changes to requirements relating to the relocation of utility facilities located in a highway right-of-way. “Utility facility” means any pipe, pipeline, duct, wire line, conduit, pole, tower, equipment, or other structure used for transmission, distribution, or delivery of electrical power, light, heat, water, gas, sewer, telegraph, or telecommunication services.
Under current law, if a utility facility is within the right-of-way of a proposed highway project, the Department of Transportation must notify the owner, who must then provide DOT with a description and general location of each utility facility. DOT must then provide the owner with a set of plans for the proposed project. The owner must submit a work plan to DOT proposing any relocations or adjustments to utility facilities required by the proposed project. DOT must review work plans for compliance with permit requirements and, once approved, notify the owner when utility facility relocation work may begin. The bill creates deadlines by which the various steps of this process must occur.

The bill provides that an owner must complete the work described in the work plan according to the specified schedule. An owner must notify DOT immediately if the owner cannot meet a scheduling deadline or must otherwise deviate from an approved work plan.
The bill provides that, subject to conditions, DOT must compensate the highway project contractor for delay costs that are the result of 1) DOT advertising or letting a project prior to certification of completion of utility facility work; 2) DOT advertising or letting a project that allows utility facility work after advertising or during construction; 3) DOT allowing or requiring utility facility work after letting and during construction that is different from the approved work plan or schedule;
or 4) any utility conflict not identified in the schedule, bid materials, or any bid addendum within construction limits. Under the bill, an owner is liable to DOT for any damage amounts.
The bill repeals administrative rules promulgated by DOT relating to utility facilities relocation and requires DOT to promulgate rules to administer the utility facilities relocation process, as modified by this bill.
