Locate requests expire 21 calendar days from the date/time they are submitted (queued to be delivered) to the member facility operators. To extend the request beyond the expiration (Good Thru) date/time, the excavator will need to “Update” the request at least three (3) business days but no sooner than seven (7) calendar days prior to the expiration (Good Thru) date/time listed on the original request. To Update your request online go to: https://otr.bluestakes.org/. This is also accessible within the Update Locate Request option on our Mobile App.
There is currently not an option for automatic Updates.
Note: Do not Update a request if excavation work is not going to take place within the 21 calendar day life of the Locate Request or if the scope of excavation work has changed. Wait until you are ready to excavate and submit a New request at least three (3) business days prior to excavating again. Your original Locate Request Ticket information can be used for a New Locate Request if all information remains the same and can be completed through the same Online Ticket Revision link.
