RE: 24-MPBSD010 – Consultation on potential circumstances where digging may continue beyond the locate validity period without having to request a new locate

Eliminating the need for relocates on deep non-linear excavation sites will create notable efficiencies in the locate delivery system and help reduce the overall volume of locates in the system. [...] We support the proposed elimination requesting a new locate once all utilities have been exposed and the general depth of excavation is one metre below the invert of the lowest utility. [...] We have consistently maintained that reducing the overall volume of locates in the system is key to improving the timely and predictable delivery of locates in Ontario. [...] We appreciate the latest efforts by the Ministry and Ontario One Call to address long- standing concerns with the underground utilities locates process in the province. [...] We are pleased to see the positive collaboration and we look forward to continuing working to improve this vital system for the benefit of all Ontarians.
