When highway right of way encroaches on a utility’s right of way, TxDOT will participate with the LPA in the cost of necessary utility adjustment. TxDOT will also participate in the cost associated with utility adjustments when the utilities are located on an Interstate highway project (Federal funding for right of way).

TxDOT’s participation in the utility adjustment will be limited to the cost of making the adjustment, after deductions for the following:

elective betterments;
accrued depreciation
;
salvage
or
scrap value
; and
ineligible costs (e.g., loss of revenue, interest expense, entertainment, allowance for funds during construction (AFUDC).
