I would not use a Sawzall or reciprocating saw. They are meant for rough work and not finish work. You won't get an even cut and could mar the finish on the rails. Plus it's very likely that they won't be cut evenly. Pull the sod up and use a proper cutoff tool to get a nice finish. This way you can cut a nice straight line across the bars.

The neighbor's contractor should be held accountable for their poor work practices.

This. I think your neighbor should call the sod guys and have them come and fix the problem. They could easily remove the sod, shave down the underlying dirt and re-lay the sod so that the gate will open.
I had thought of that, too. We will see what the neighbor thinks.
