conducted beyond the scope of such statute, such as a "soil survey", may
be enough of an intrusion to constitute a taking. Missouri Highway and
Transportation Commission v. Eilers, 729 S.W.2d 471 (Mo.App.).

The state of Missouri, and all departments, boards, commissions,
bureaus, institutions, public agencies and political subdivisions
thereof, holding title to or having an interest in real estate, or having

are hereby authorized and empowered to give, grant and convey to or for
the use of the state highways and transportation commission of Missouri
such rights-of-way or other easements and appurtenances in said real

expended by them in the construction or acquisition of roads and bridges
now or hereafter taken over by the state as permanent parts of the system
of state highways to the extent of the value to the state of such roads
and bridges at the time taken over, due consideration being given to the
type of road the state would have constructed had such road not already
been constructed, but not exceeding in any case the amount expended by
such counties and subdivisions in the construction or acquisition of such
roads and bridges, except that the state highways and transportation
commission may, in its discretion, repay, or agree to repay, any cash
advanced by a county or subdivision to expedite state road construction
or improvement.

2. Any portion or all of such reimbursements shall be made either in the
form of additional roads or in cash at the election of the authorities of
the county or political subdivision to which reimbursement may be due. If
said authorities elect to have any reimbursement made in the form of
additional roads, such roads shall be constructed in such county or
political subdivision under the supervision and direction of the
commission and shall connect with the system of state highways; or, all
or part of said sum may be used to construct a state highway of a higher
type than that proposed by the commission. Any reimbursement which the
authorities of a county or political subdivision elect to have made in
cash may be used for the purchase of rights-of-way for state highways
within such county or political subdivision.

3. When the commission takes over a road, to the construction of which
more than one county or political subdivision has contributed, any
reimbursement shall be divided among said counties or subdivisions in the
same proportion as such counties or subdivisions contributed to said
construction. (RSMo 1939 § 8775, A.L. 1945 p. 1465, A. 1949 S.B. 1074)

or times as the road funds will justify without interfering with other
state road construction or maintenance, may construct and build such
roads in such county or other political subdivision as the county
commission of such county or in which such political subdivision is
situate may direct; the cost of which roads shall be equal to the value
to the state at the time taken over of the portion of such bridge
entirely within the state of Missouri, not exceeding in any case the
amount expended by such county or other political subdivision in the
acquisition of such bridge; provided, however, that any county or other

letting date could be set for the construction project.

3. The owner shall examine the notice and notify the commission in
writing of any utility facility not correctly described in the
commission's notice. Within sixty days of receiving the notice required
in subsection 2 of this section, the owner shall provide a written
response to the commission. The response shall describe and provide the
general location of each utility facility of the owner by confirming the
location shown in the commission's notice or by providing additions or
corrections. (L. 2005 H.B. 209 § 227.243)

Effective 1-1-06

*Word "protect" appears in original rolls.

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. (L. 2005 H.B. 209 § 227.244)

Effective 1-1-06

1. Within one hundred twenty days of receiving written notice of
approval of the utility plan of adjustment from the commission, the owner
shall provide the commission with a relocation plan. The one hundred
twenty-day clock stops after the relocation plan is submitted by the
owner. If, after timely submission of the relocation plan by the owner,
revisions or alterations are necessary for any reason, or if the original
relocation plan was incomplete due to information needed from other
parties, the one hundred twenty-day clock begins to run again when the
needed information is received back by the owner.

2. The relocation plan shall include a narrative description of work that
will be done in relocating the owner's utility facilities and whether the
work or a portion of the work must be coordinated with or is contingent
upon work being performed by another utility facility owner or the
contractor to the commission. The relocation plan shall list, if
applicable, any anticipated issues or problems related to the acquisition
of right-of-way. The relocation plan shall, if applicable, detail the
anticipated number of days to acquire additional easements not provided
within the new highway right-of-way. The relocation plan shall also give
estimates as to the time needed to obtain any necessary customer
approvals for cut-over dates, if necessary. The relocation plan shall
state when the work will be started and the length of time in days
estimated to complete the work. It is permissible for an owner to state
in a relocation plan that the owner's work will be completed within a
stated number of days from the date that a contractor or another owner
completes certain identified work which interferes with the owner's work.
The relocation plan shall identify any contingencies, if applicable, that
may impact the anticipated start of relocation. The relocation plan shall
also describe whether the plan is incomplete due to:

(1) Other owners failing to coordinate their plans with the owner
submitting the plan;

(2) Other owners failing to provide information necessary to submit a
complete relocation plan;

(3) The commission failing to provide any information required by
subsection 2 of section 227.554; or

(4) Any other reason explained in the plan regarding the circumstances
and cause of the plan being incomplete.

3. The commission shall review the relocation plan to ensure
compatibility with permit requirements, the project plan, and the
anticipated letting date and notice to proceed for the project. If
utility relocation is dependent upon or must be coordinated with work to
be completed by the contractor, the relocation plan shall assure timely
completion of the project. If the relocation plan is acceptable to the
commission, the commission shall notify the owner in writing within
thirty days of receiving the plan. If the relocation plan submitted by
the owner is not compatible, reasonable, or does not allow timely
completion of the project, the commission shall advise the owner in
writing as soon as practicable, but not later than thirty days after
receiving the relocation plan. The commission shall specify in the notice
which parts of the relocation plan it finds objectionable, and the
reasons for its conclusions. The owner shall submit a revised relocation
plan within thirty calendar days after receipt of notice by the
commission that the relocation plan is not acceptable. The commission
shall review the revised relocation plan, and if the relocation plan is
still not acceptable, the commission shall provide a relocation plan to
the owner. The owner shall not be bound by the terms of the commission's
relocation plan if such relocation plan:

(1) Requires the payment of overtime to employees to expedite the
construction project; or

(2) Requires the owner to comply with a deadline which is not feasible
due, in whole or in part, to one or more factors outside the control of
the owner.

4. If the owner informs the commission, in writing, or the commission
determines that the owner's relocation work is dependent upon or must be
coordinated with work being performed by the commission's contractor, the
commission shall convene a meeting of the contractor and the one or more
owners whose relocation work is dependent upon or must be coordinated
with the contractor's work. Such meeting shall be held after the letting
date at which bids were received for the construction project, but prior
to the issuance of a notice to proceed to the commission's contractor.
After such meeting, and before or concurrent with the issuance of a
notice to proceed, the commission shall provide a schedule for the
relocation of utilities to the owner and the commission's contractor. If
the approved relocation plan, or a portion of such plan, is dependent
upon or must be coordinated with work to be performed by the contractor,
the contractor shall notify the commission of its best estimate of the
date that all construction necessary for the relocation of utilities will
be completed, at least fourteen days prior to such date. If such
completion date is delayed due to weather or other causes, the contractor
shall immediately notify the commission of the delay and the revised
expected completion date. The contractor shall give a second notice to
the commission five days prior to the date work will be completed as
necessary for relocation work to begin. It shall be the responsibility of
the commission to notify the owner or owners of the contractor's
estimated completion dates. The contractor may also notify the owner
directly of such dates, if the contractor has received information from
the owner under subsection 7 of this section, but such notice shall not
relieve the commission of its obligation to notify the owner. If the
contractor's delay causes additional delay by the owner, the commission
and the owner shall negotiate in good faith to determine the new
completion date.

5. (1) The commission shall notify the owner in writing not less than
thirty days before the owner is required to begin relocation provided for
in the approved relocation plan. Unless the owner has encountered
excusable delay as set forth in subsection 4 of section 227.558, the
owner shall complete its work within the time frame described in the
relocation plan, and shall complete all work that can be done prior to
construction before the issuance of the notice to proceed, including work
that may need to be coordinated with other utility owners but is not
dependent on the work of the contractor.

(2) The notice required by subdivision (1) of this subsection shall
include the name, address, telephone number, facsimile number, and
electronic mail address of the commission's contractor and any
subcontractors performing work on the construction project. Such
information shall also include the name and title of an individual
employed by the contractor or subcontractor having primary responsibility
for the construction project. Within fifteen days of receiving notice,
the owner shall provide to the commission and the commission's contractor
the name, address, telephone number, facsimile number, and electronic
mail address of the employee of the owner who is responsible for
implementation of the owner's relocation plan and the same information
for any utility contractor to the owner for purposes of carrying out the
relocation plan.

6. The owner shall notify the commission when relocation work has
started. During the course of the relocation work, the commission may
require owners to provide progress reports until its relocation is
completed. The owner shall notify the commission when all relocation work
is complete. All notices of either starting or completion of relocation
work and all monthly progress reports shall be provided within five days
after such dates. (L. 2005 H.B. 209 § 227.245)

Effective 1-1-06

1. If, prior to the letting date of the construction project,
the commission's project plan is changed so that additional or different
utility relocation work is found necessary, the commission shall furnish
a revised project plan under section 227.554, and the owner shall provide
the commission with a revised relocation plan under section 227.555,
except that the time allowed for the owner to submit the revised
relocation plan after receipt of the revised project plan shall not
exceed sixty days.

2. If, after the letting date of the highway construction project,
additional utility relocation work is found necessary which was not
indicated on the original project plan, the commission shall provide the
owner with a revised project plan within fifteen days and the commission
and the owner shall agree on a reasonable schedule for completion of the
additional utility location. (L. 2005 H.B. 209 § 227.246)

Effective 1-1-06

1. The commission shall have authority to require that any
required notice, response, or plan be submitted by mail or certified
mail. Otherwise notices, plans, and other statements in writing may be
provided by mail, facsimile, or electronic mail. The commission may
require that some form of proof of receipt be provided in regard to any
notice, plan, or other statement in writing. Upon mutual agreement
between the commission and an owner, additional time may be granted for
the completion of any act required by sections 227.551 to 227.559.

2. Nothing in sections 227.551 to 227.559 shall be construed to relieve a
contractor from making notice of excavation as required by sections
319.010 to 319.050, RSMo, of the underground facility safety and damage
prevention act, or complying with the requirements of sections 319.075 to
319.090, RSMo, of the overhead power line safety act, except to the
extent that any provisions of sections 227.551 to 227.559 require
additional obligations beyond those set forth in sections 319.011 to
319.050, RSMo, or sections 319.075 to 319.090, RSMo, in which case the
requirements of sections 227.551 to 227.559 shall prevail. (L. 2005 H.B.
209 § 227.247)

Effective 1-1-06

1. If the owner of a utility facility fails to provide the
responses or corrections to project plans required by sections 227.553 to
227.556, the commission may recover from the owner damages in the amount
of up to one hundred dollars per day for each day the required act is not
completed.

2. If the owner fails to provide a relocation plan or fails to timely
relocate utility facilities in accordance with the relocation plan as
required by section 227.555, the commission may recover from the owner
damages in the amount of up to one thousand dollars per day for each day
the required act is not completed.

3. The damages authorized by subsections 1 and 2 of this section may be
recovered through actions brought by the chief counsel to the commission,
or may be referred to the attorney general for appropriate action. An
action to collect the damages authorized by this section shall be brought
in a court of appropriate jurisdiction. All damages collected under this
section shall be deposited in the state road fund.

4. No damages or fines of any kind shall be assessed for delays that
result, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, from any of the
following:

(1) Customer delays;

(2) Labor strikes or shortages;

(3) Terrorist attacks, riots, civil unrest, or criminal sabotage;

(4) Acts of God, or extreme weather events;

(5) Delays caused by staffing shortages in the geographic area near the
commission's construction project due to the owner's need to reassign an
unusual number of workers to any other area to respond to an act of God
or extreme weather event;

(6) The failure of another owner to sufficiently complete its required
relocation of utility facilities that interfere with an owner's
relocation plan;

(7) The failure of another owner or delay by another owner in submitting
relocation plans that interfere with an owner's relocation plan;

(8) Delays by the commission in acquiring necessary right-of-way or
necessary easements;

(9) Delays caused by facility damages or cable cuts caused by the
commission's contractor, other owners, or third parties;

(10) Unusual material shortages; and

(11) Any other event or action beyond the reasonable control of the owner.

The occurrence of any of the unusual events listed in this section shall
constitute an affirmative defense to the assessment of damages under the
provisions of this section.

5. The removal and relocation of utility facilities shall be made at the
expense of the owners unless otherwise provided by the commission. If the
owner fails to relocate the utility facilities in accordance with the
relocation plan as required by section 227.555, the utility facilities
may be removed and relocated by the state highways and transportation
commission, or under its direction, and the cost of relocating the
utility facilities shall be collected from such owner. If the state
highways and transportation commission or its designee removes and
relocates the utility facilities, the utility owner shall not be liable
to any party for any damages caused by the commission's or the
commission's designee's removal and relocation of such facilities. (L.
2005 H.B. 209 § 227.248)

Effective 1-1-06

Any home rule city having a population of sixty thousand
inhabitants or greater or any charter county of the first classification
may adopt ordinances, policies, resolutions, or regulations consistent
with sections 227.551 to 227.559 regarding the relocation of utility
facilities located within the right-of-way of streets, highways, or roads
under their respective jurisdiction, which are not state highways. Any
ordinance, policy, resolution, or regulation adopted under the authority
of this section shall not infringe upon, negate or otherwise abrogate an
owner's right to construct, own, operate, and maintain utility facilities
within the right-of-ways of such political subdivision that the owner
otherwise enjoyed prior to the adoption of such ordinance, policy,
resolution, or regulation. (L. 2005 H.B. 209 § 227.249)
