Section 9: Non-Reimbursable Utility Adjustment Procedure
Anchor: #i1004642General
While non-reimbursable utility adjustments do not have as many funding issues as utilities occupying TxDOT right of way by a property interest, they are equally as critical in the progression of the highway construction project. Coordination and monitoring of the adjustment at the District level will ensure timely project lettings and minimize conflicts within the highway right of way.

The Right of Way Utility and Leasing Information System (RULIS) is TxDOT's system for automating utility and leasing processes. Visit TxDOT's website for RULIS resources. As in reimbursable adjustments, the occupying of TxDOT right of way should be documented by a RULIS Utility Permit Application including plans accurately depicting the location and type of utility facility occupying TxDOT right of way. This agreement should also include an adjustment schedule and any special requirements by TxDOT and/or the utility. This agreement should be executed by the District Engineer or designee. For accommodations requiring a standard utility agreement, the permit approval information must be included in Attachment E.
