§ 225-a. General requirements making applicable certain provisions of
article eight and providing for enforcement thereof. All work of every
kind to which the preceding section is applicable shall hereafter be
subject to application of all the provisions of sections two hundred and
twenty, two hundred and twenty-one and two hundred and twenty-two of
article eight of this chapter. Every contract hereafter entered into for
such elimination work shall require compliance with the regulations of
such sections. If the fiscal officer as defined herein finds that in the
performance of any such elimination work that any person contracting
with the state, a municipal corporation, board, any commission appointed

which state funds are applied for payment fails to comply with or evades
the provisions of this section, he shall present evidence of such
non-compliance or evasion to the officer, department, board or
commission having charge of such work for enforcement. Wherein such
evidence indicates a non-compliance or evasion on the part of a
sub-contractor, the contractor shall be responsible for such
non-compliance or evasion. It shall be the duty of any officer,
department, board or commission in charge of the construction of such
grade crossing elimination contracts to enforce the provisions of this
article.
