Yea if you could do locate request via a map file then the ticket process could be located automatically and make things more efficient. The only issue with that is the utility companies in many cases have not submitted accurate data to them to let that process work. Sometimes they have only put data in that says things like anything in this town our county. In a way I can understand that so that their plant data does not get in to hands that should not have it, but at the same time why wouldn’t you want to make it better. Then there is the other problem that some companies literally only have it on old paper maps if they have any at all. Detroit Edison can only give you pdf scans of paper maps page by page. Last I knew they have not actually created any electronic version of their outside plant data. Some old dogs refuse to learn new tricks.

I would prefer it to be less. I think that is 150 on either side. Actually I would like to be able to give them a surveyed running line and have them only send me locates within 30 feet. I am also pushing for them to allow me to draw an area on a map to request a locate rather than describing it via text.

I wonder if they default it to 300. On Wed, Jan 5, 2022 at 10:14 AM Mike Hammett <[email protected]> wrote: I still have some to learn there. I send them a polygon KMZ as opposed to a line KMZ. I've applied a certain amount of buffer around my lines. I think I added 300'. JULIE may have added their own buffer around my buffer, I'm not sure. They are pretty helpful, though, so it would just take a conversation with their data guys as to what you want. I need to reasess if our buffers are appropriate. We use a service called Diglet that manages all of the tickets. I need to do some reporting about how many tickets we had that were clear, their distance from the line, etc. ----- Mike Hammett <http://www.ics-il.com/> Intelligent Computing Solutions <https://www.facebook.com/ICSIL> <https://plus.google.com/+IntelligentComputingSolutionsDeKalb> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/intelligent-computing-solutions> <https://twitter.com/ICSIL> <http://www.midwest-ix.com/> Midwest Internet Exchange <https://www.facebook.com/mdwestix> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/midwest-internet-exchange> <https://twitter.com/mdwestix> <http://www.thebrotherswisp.com/> The Brothers WISP <https://www.facebook.com/thebrotherswisp> <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXSdfxQv7SpoRQYNyLwntZg> _____ From: "Steve Jones" <[email protected]> To: "AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, January 5, 2022 9:58:38 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Illinois - JULIE membership costs JULIE is telling me no annual membership fee, just the nominal notification see, a buck something for email and under 3 for a phone call. doesnt seem too awful. If you provide them a specific CAD file of your underground asset do you define how close of a dig you want notified on or how does that work. I dont want this customer having to do locates for a dig 50 feet away because thats an intersection thats always got some sort of dig going on On Wed, Jan 5, 2022 at 9:10 AM Mike Hammett <[email protected]> wrote: I can tell you what it costs to be a JULIE member (it's a cost per activity basis).
