MISS DIG is frequently asked about the amount of information, or area, that can be requested for locating on a single ticket. Below are the call-center guidelines for ticket limitations. Naturally, some projects are too large for one ticket. In those cases, the project is simply broken up into manageable sections through several MISS DIG tickets…..
Scope of work is a MISS DIG System Inc. procedure regarding the extent of work on a single ticket. This procedure, to limit work on a single ticket, exists to create reasonable requests that can be responded to within a 3-day time frame. On existing tickets, no additional work, footage or addresses can be added. This would require a new ticket. The following applies:
Addresses: 10 individual addresses / lots on a single/road street per ticket, in the same city township or village. The total distance between addresses is not to exceed 1 mile
Apartment/condo complexes: 5 buildings maximum per ticket
Pole jobs:
Locations on a continuous road (point A to point B) — total distance covered not to exceed 1mile in urban area and 2 miles in rural area.
Locations at specific address — no more than 10 addresses per street.
When measuring off footage (ex: Loc 1. 50 ft n of inter.), between pole locations with no given addresses — limit of 3 poles/locations per ticket
For specific pole related questions, contact Kathy Stephan, 248-370-6408 or Bob Suits, 248-370-6433
Intersections: No more than 200 feet in any direction at intersection, per ticket
Unnamed streets in subdivisions: Option 1: Subdivisions to be called in by individual streets. If street names are not posted then the contractor should post identifying names and signs. Ex: Street A.
Option 2: Call MISS DIG to schedule a joint meet
Road Projects: Work along a continuous road with no named intersections in the same city, township or village, may include up to two miles per ticket
*Working along a road, with named multiple intersections in the same city, township or village, may include up to one mile per ticket. List all intersections in staking information. (No more than 200 ft down any direction at these intersections.)
