R17-1-714. Removal of Advertising or Sponsorship Content;

Program Termination A. If the Department temporarily requires removal of an acknowledgment sign or advertising or sponsorship content or copy from any Department facility or asset for construction activities in the area that may pose conflicts with the sponsor- ship, as provided under R17-1-704(B) (i.e. sign needs to be removed due to a road widening project), the Department or its contractor, in its sole discretion, may: 1. Relocate the acknowledgment sign or advertising or sponsorship content or copy to a comparable site for the duration of the advertising or sponsorship agreement, if requested by the advertiser or sponsor and the acknowl- edgment sign or advertising or sponsorship content or copy is for a program that is not site-specific; or 2. Re-erect the acknowledgment sign or advertising or spon- sorship content or copy at its original location once the construction activities are completed, if possible, and revise the original advertising or sponsorship agreement to remain in place until the minimum lease obligations are fulfilled. B. If the Department’s advertising and sponsorship program is terminated, the Department or its contractor shall: 1. Notify an advertiser or sponsor by mail, or a mutually agreed upon electronic communication method, of the program termination and the location where an advertiser or sponsor may claim its materials, if any; 2. Remove all advertising or sponsorship content or copy from any Department facilities or assets; and 3. Refund unused lease payments to each advertiser or spon- sor on a prorated basis.
