At any time after jurisdiction has been obtained pursuant to section 38-1-103, the petitioner, upon notice to the respondent pursuant to the Colorado rules of civil procedure, may move for an order for immediate possession. Upon such motion and after hearing, the court, by rule in that behalf made, may authorize the petitioner, upon payment into court or to the clerk thereof of the amount determined by the court as probably sufficient to pay the sum that may ultimately be awarded as compensation and damages for the taking, if not in possession to take possession of such right-of-way, and if already in possession to maintain and keep such possession, and in all cases to use and enjoy such right-of-way during the pendency and until the final conclusion of such proceedings, and the court may stay all actions and proceedings against such petitioner on account thereof. Withdrawal from the sum so deposited may be had as provided in section 38-1-105 (6)(b). At such hearing for immediate possession, the court shall hear and dispose of all objections that are raised at that time concerning the motion for immediate possession, the legal sufficiency of the petition, or the regularity of the proceedings in any other respect.

38-5-107. Companies, cities, and towns carrying high voltage - crossings - arbitration. (1) Any person, corporation, or city or town seeking to secure a right-of-way for lines of electric light or for the transmission of electric power for any purpose over, under, or across any right-of-way of any other person, corporation, or city or town for such purposes or seeking to erect or construct its lines of wire under or over the lines of wire already constructed by such other person, corporation, or city or town for any such purposes upon, under, along, or across any public highway or upon, under, along, or across any public lands owned or controlled by the state of Colorado before constructing such lines or wires over, under, or across such rights-of-way or wires of other persons, corporations, or cities or towns, where either of said lines or wires carry a current at an electrical pressure of five thousand volts or more, shall agree with such other persons, corporations, or cities or towns as to the conditions under or upon which such overhead or underneath construction or crossing shall be made, looking to the due protection and safeguard of the wires of the person, corporation, or city or town already having a right-of-way for such wires and looking to the safety of life, health, and property. In case of an inability to agree upon the conditions under or upon which such overhead or underneath crossings shall be made, the person, corporation, or city or town owning and operating or controlling the lines of wires already built or constructed and the person, corporation, or city or town seeking to construct new lines or wires or to make said crossings shall each select a person as an arbitrator, which two persons shall determine said conditions under or upon which such overhead or underneath construction or crossing shall be made. In case of a disagreement in regard thereto by the arbitrators, they shall select a third person to act with them, and the decision made by any two of said arbitrators shall be final and binding upon the person, corporation, or city or town so seeking to make or construct the crossings, who shall construct the crossings in a manner determined by such arbitrators.
(2) The parties interested, before they make their submission to the arbitrators, shall make and subscribe a written article of agreement in and by which they shall agree to submit the matter as to how said crossings shall be made to the arbitrators named, and will abide by their award. Said award shall be in writing, and a copy thereof delivered to each of the parties interested. Such conditions for protection at said crossings shall be established at the sole expense of the person, corporation, or city or town seeking the right-of-way for such overhead or underneath construction or crossings. Nothing in this article shall affect the right of any person, corporation, or city or town to make such crossings where the lines or wires of neither of the parties concerned carry a current at an electrical pressure of less than five thousand volts.
