SECTION 730:10-1-7. Cities and towns  


Latest version.
  • (a)   All city or county funds which, by agreement with the Department are to be used to pay or participate in construction contract cost items shall be deposited with the Department prior to advertising the project for bids. If the city or county by agreement with the Department is to perform a portion or all of the construction work as their share of the project costs, they will not be required to deposit funds with the Department prior to advertising for bids. Where it is impossible to determine final cost of the project until construction is completed, the deposit shall be based on the engineer's quantity estimates.
    (b)   On construction projects which require a detour within the limits of cities and towns, the Department shall secure an agreement from the governing body of the city or town involved approving the location of the detour and committing the city or town to the maintenance of the detour during construction, and a hold-harmless clause for any resulting damage to its streets used as a detour.
    (c)   The Department will not participate in costs of construction for the improvement of streets in cities or towns which are not on the state highway system except as authorized by the Commission and as provided by special agreement between the city or town and the Department.
    (d)   Where it is necessary to remove existing driveways and sidewalks within the limits of cities and towns, they shall be replaced as a part of the construction project and in conformance with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
