227.554. Project plans to be provided to owners of utility facilities, content — preliminary plan of adjustment, contents — utility coordination meeting required, when. — 1. Upon completion of the initial design of the construction project, the commission shall provide at least one set of project plans to each owner of a utility facility identified under section 227.553.

2. The project plans shall show those portions of the construction project upon which the owner's utility facilities are located and where the utility facilities of other owners are located in relation to work required for the project. The commission shall also provide with the project plans a description of any right-of-way still to be purchased and the anticipated letting date of the project. The project plan shall be accompanied by a complete set of plans including profile, cross-section, drainage, signal, lighting, signing plans, temporary road plans that may affect utilities, and other pertinent plan sheets. Upon request of the owner, the commission shall provide any additional plan information needed by the owner to design and lay out the removal, relocation, or adjustment of existing facilities and the placement of relocated or new utility facilities within the limits of the construction project.

3. Within thirty days of receipt of the project plans, the utility owner shall develop a preliminary plan of adjustment and return the marked-up project plans to the commission. The plan of adjustment shall include:

(1) Verification that all utility facilities are shown;

(2) The proposed location of adjusted utility facilities;

(3) Any additional right-of-way requirements; and

(4) Any other concerns.

4. When two or more owners have facilities in the area encompassed by the construction project, the commission shall schedule a utility coordination meeting as soon as possible but no longer than thirty days from the date the project plans were mailed. The commission's project manager and all owners are required to attend this meeting. If there is a conflict between two owners which cannot be satisfactorily resolved by the owners, the commission shall determine the most appropriate method to resolve the conflict between the two owners, and, in making such determination, shall weigh equally the length of time necessitated by each owner's proposal, and the relative cost to each owner if the other's proposal is adopted. The commission shall notify all utility owners involved with the project in writing of the commission's acceptance or revisions to the utility plan of adjustment.
