Right-of-Way & Relocation

TELICS associates negotiate and acquire real property for Right of Way and related easements for transportation and utility construction projects. We select sites, negotiate with property owners, obtain options, secure easements, purchase and/or lease parcels of property for the placement or expansion of client facilities or public infrastructure. Select TELICS agents have completed the Federal Transit Authority Real Estate Requirements and are certified for Federal Aid Projects.
