(2)
After the contract is let and the actual construction is commenced, if the work is
being done with a floating dredge, the superintendent in charge of construction shall
notify any railroad company of the probable time at which the contractor will be
ready to enter upon its right-of-way and construct the work thereon. The railroad
shall send a representative to view the ground with the superintendent of
construction and arrange the exact time at which such work can most conveniently
be done. At the agreed time the railroad company shall remove any obstructions
necessary to permit the dredge to excavate the channel across its right-of-way. The
work shall be so planned and conducted as to interfere in the least possible manner
with the railroad's business.
Within thirty (30) days after the work is completed, an itemized bill for the actual
expense incurred by the railroad company for opening its tracks shall be made and
presented to the superintendent of construction. This bill shall not include the cost
of putting in a new bridge or strengthening or enlarging an old one. The
superintendent of construction shall audit this bill, and if found correct shall
approve and file it with the secretary of the board. The board shall deduct the cost of
the excavation done by the dredge on the right-of-way of the railroad company at
the contract price, and pay any difference to the railroad.
