               the grantee shall apply for any needed contracts for pole use. Pole space and other
               facilities obtained from the county, utilities, and other lawful users of the public
               way shall be at the cost and expense of the grantee. Within 30 days after completion
               of the make-ready survey identifying the routes of the system facility, the grantee
               shall apply for all additional licenses from the state, county, or other necessary
               parties, such as the railroads for crossing under or over their property. In any event,
               all necessary applications for permits, licenses, certificates and authorizations
               shall be applied for in a timely fashion so that such filing and processing shall
               not interfere with or cause delay with the construction schedule as outlined in the

               a substantial violation of this article.
