ODOT is the designated state agency to implement Oregon’s federal-aid highway program. Because of this, the Federal Highway Administration also places overall responsibility for county and city federal-aid road projects with ODOT. The local agency program is administered by ODOT through the Regional offices and their Local Liaison.
The LPA Procedures Guide outlines the basic requirements governing the relocation and reimbursement procedures and practices to be used by a Local Public Agency (LPA) on federally funded local projects. The procedures are intended to be used as general guidelines by LPA's in the execution of their projects. For situations not covered, or for other related questions, you should contact the State Utility Engineer:

In addition to the LPA Procedures Guide are the Highway / Utility Guide and the FHWA Program Guide. These three guides, taken together, contain the current policies and procedures for the utility relocation and reimbursement program.
