(2) In addition to any fee paid under sub.
(1), the railroad operator may require reimbursement from the utility for
reasonable services rendered including administration, flagging, track removal
and reinstalling, and other functions necessary to accommodate a utility
facility installation or modification. Reimbursement arrangements for these
services shall be solely between the railroad operator and the utility.
Concurrence in the permit application by the railroad operator implies
agreement between the utility and the railroad operator on service
reimbursement.
(3) Whenever a
"transverse utility crossing" is installed or modified within department
railroad property where that department railroad property is also located
within a town, county, village or city highway or street right-of-way, the
department need not conduct its usual post-installation or post-modification
inspection if, as a substitute for that inspection, the utility provides an
affidavit of a professional engineer, duly registered to practice engineering
in Wisconsin, certifying that the utility installation or modification has been
carried out in accordance with the pertinent application, these rules, all
other applicable rules or standards and sound engineering practices. The
utility shall file the required affidavit with the department not more than 10
days after the utility facility is installed or modified. Whenever the
provisions of this subsection are applicable and followed, the fee established
in sub. (1) (a) shall be reduced to $100 reflecting the department's diminished
inspection activities.
