60 Days or More Locate Validity

60 Days or More
Locate Validity

Members are strongly urged to consider extending their locate validity period to 60 days or more.

Relocates can use up valuable resources unnecessarily as paint marks are often still visible and buried infrastructure is adequately fixed in place. With increasing locate request volumes, Members who have a locate validity period of 60 days or more are receiving fewer relocates. Fewer relocates help free up locator resources, which leads to better locate response times and improved compliance.

Benefits:

• Longer excavation window for Excavators
• Fewer relocates
• Less administrative burden

Members who have questions about increasing their locate validity period should reach out to Ontario One Call’s Member Services department.
