     1. After an agreement between the Department and a utility has been executed and the Department authorizes the utility to begin work, the utility may be reimbursed by the Department pursuant to progress billings for the costs the utility incurs. The cost of materials stored at the site of the project or specifically purchased and delivered to the utility for use on the project may be reimbursed pursuant to the progress billings.

     2. The utility may provide progress billings to the Department and shall, at the earliest practicable date, provide a final and complete billing of all remaining costs incurred or the lump-sum amount which is due.

     3. Each billing must:

     (a) Include the number of the agreement; and

     (b) Indicate whether it is a progress billing or final billing.

     4. Each billing, except a bill for a lump-sum amount, must include:

     (a) The major components of materials and supplies;

     (b) The amount charged for labor by hours, class and rate; and

     (c) The equipment used by hour and rate.

     5. The utility shall submit three copies of each billing to the Department.

     6. The Department will, within 60 days after it receives a final billing from the utility, pay the utility an amount equal to at least 95 percent of the cost of the relocation. The Department will pay the utility the remaining amount of the cost of relocation after it has conducted an audit of the cost of relocation.

     7. As used in this section, “progress billing” means a bill issued by a utility to the Department before a final billing which sets forth the costs of the work completed by the utility during a specific period of the relocation of a utility’s facility.
