267.270 Method of construction when improvement crosses railroad property
-- Cost.

(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.
