  10. Implemented Implementing Investigating

  11. Flexibility in Right-of-Way From a NYSDOT perspective, of the six ROW flexibilities included in this initiative (thanks to Bruce Davies, NYSDOT ROW EDC point of contact): a) Appraisal waiver valuations. The Department is currently reviewing the matter.  Currently, NYSDOT acquires by appropriation and therefore it appears a change in Eminent Domain Procedure Law would be necessary. b) Conflict of interest waivers. For any compensation in excess of $10,000 or more the negotiator cannot be the appraiser.   NYSDOT has separate appraisal and acquisition units. c) Conditional ROW certification. These are projections which NYSDOT does allow, however it must be either be an emergency or outside the control of the acquiring agency.

  12. Flexibility in Right-of-Way d) Right-of-entry for federal land transfers. These are used by NYSDOT or Locals when the federal process is excessively long but will eventually be completed.  If the Federal government does not intend on completing the transfer alternative designs must be considered.  e) Incentive payments. NYSDOT does not participate in any incentive programs at this time.  However if the FHWA were to offer a pilot program NYSDOT could participate. f) Functional replacement of real property. NYSDOT, where appropriate utilizes function replacements for on system projects
