Abstract: Joint-contract locating at Washington Gas Light (WGL) evolved primarily due to the underground facility locating workload requirements caused by Cable Television (CATV) Major-Build construction. The timetable is shown in Figure 1. The nature of CATV Major-Build construction lends itself to contract locating for the following reasons: Contract locating supplements the existing locating work force for a short term (2-3 year) increase in workload- Contract locating offers a significant cost benefit (lOyo-WPo). The need for close and constant coordination between locate crews and CATV crews requires dedicating locate crews exclusively to CATV activities. A lack of internal organization and knowledge of one-call center operations attributed to some CATV companies requires other utilities to constantly monitor located requests, as they relate to the actual areas of construction (locating required) for the CATV build. CATV Major-Build construction typically involves locating entire subdivisions or large parts of subdivisions. A large amount of locating can be performed with very little travel time. Labor cost directly associated with the CATV build can be closely documented and monitored for follow-up billing to the CATV companies.
