306.47 - UTILITY FACILITIES RELOCATION POLICY.

        306.47  UTILITY FACILITIES RELOCATION POLICY.
         1.  It is the policy of the general assembly that a proactive,
      cooperative coordination between the department, local governments,
      private and public utility companies, and other affected parties is
      the most effective way to minimize costs, eliminate the need for
      utilities to relocate facilities, limit disruption of utility
      services related to federal, state, or local highway construction
      projects, and limit the potential need for relocation of utility
      facilities.
         2.  All potentially affected parties shall be invited to
      participate in development meetings at the design phase of a highway
      construction project to review plans, understand goals and objectives
      of the proposed project, and discuss options that would limit the
      impact of the construction on utility facilities and thereby minimize
      or even eliminate costs associated with utility facility relocation.
      All jurisdictions and other interested parties shall cooperate to
      discuss strategies and policies to utilize the Iowa one call system
      in the development of a highway construction project.  Failure of the
      affected parties to respond or participate during the design phase
      shall not in any way affect the ability of the federal, state, or
      local agency to proceed with design and construction.
