Due to growing concerns over the coronavirus (COVID-19), effective immediately, Gopher State One Call will cancel all remaining Damage Prevention meetings this spring. Possible rescheduling dates are still to be determined.
We appreciate your patience and understanding during this unprecedented time.
“Have the facilities been marked?” “Does the locator need to meet with the contractor or are there no facilities in the proposed area of excavation?” Positive response automatically closes the communication loop and answers these questions (and more) on a locate request. We asked Gopher State One Call’s general manager Kim Boyd a few questions about positive response and what makes it such an important feature for excavators and locators.
We will be taking calls for emergency locates only on Monday, February 17th in observance of President's Day, but remember, you can file a ticket online 24/7. NOTE: Monday will not count towards your standard 48 hour notice when filing a locate, so please plan accordingly.
With snowfall, frost and routine melts paired with early spring rain, keeping locate marks fresh during the coming months means filing multiple remark requests just to complete one project—or does it? We’d like to inform you that there’s actually an easier way and one that uses locating resources more efficiently.
