The Blue Stakes "Online Ticket Revision" application may be used to perform any one of the
following actions as long as the information appearing on the existing locate request (ticket) does
not need to be modified or edited:
1. "NO RESPONSE" for a current locate request:
A No Response Notice may be submitted no sooner than two (2) hours before legal date and time
and no later than four (4) business hours before the expiration (good thru) date and time.
Excavators will be required to specify which facility operators or facility types have not responded
to the locate request. The No Response Notice will only be delivered to the specified member facility
operator. The notified member facility operators will have four (4) business hours to respond to the No Response Notice.
2. "UPDATE" an existing locate request:
Locate requests are valid for twenty-one (21) calendar days. Locate requests are required to be updated
for excavations lasting longer than this. You may use the UPDATE TICKET option if doing so before the "Update by"
date and time on the locate request and no sooner than seven (7) calendar days before the expiration
(Good Thru) date and time on the original locate request.
If the allowable time to submit an update request has passed, use the NEW TICKET button on the next
screen to submit a new request containing the same information from the previous ticket.
Remember if submitting a NEW ticket, then the member facility operators have three (3) business days
to respond. Please check your copy of the ticket for the new legal dates and times.
3. "RE-MARK" an existing locate request:
This application may be used to request a "RE-MARK" if facility markings are no longer
clearly visible for the excavation location on a current locate request.
Member facility operators are required to respond within three (3) business days to re-mark their
facilities of the notice to RE-MARK. This application may also be used to submit a New locate request
if the allowable time to submit a "RE-MARK" notice has expired.
Please note that a RE-MARK notice does not extend the life of the locate request.
4. "CANCEL" an existing locate request:
Locate requests may be cancelled using this application as long as the "Legal" date and time
has not passed on the request to be cancelled.
5. "VIEW" an existing locate request:
This application may be used to view the information of any of your locate requests processed
within the last 350 days.
The ticket number and the phone number used when the original ticket was processed must be
provided to access these applications. A valid email address must also be provided to facilitate
Blue Stakes sending a confirmation of the request to the submitter.
If you are unable to meet ALL of these requirements,
please exit this application and dial 811 or (800) 662-4111 to process your request during
normal business hours (Monday - Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., except holidays).
Requests submitted using this application are not valid
until a "Successfully Submitted" message and the ticket and revision number are
displayed.
