The “allowable work” component of the agreement is outlined in the document’s Schedule “A”. What does this Alternate Locate Agreement (ALA) allow the excavator to do with respect to our underground facilities? As a legal agreement, there is a start date, term limit, and an expiration date indicated, and contains termination, insurance, and legal liability clauses. The documentation contains information regarding excavation methods and procedures that must be followed, as well as details surrounding “allowable work”. What exactly is an Alternate Locate Agreement (ALA)?Īn ALA is a legal agreement, between plant/facility owner and an excavator, outlining the conditions and terms, agreed to by both parties, whereby the indicated excavator can safely proceed without a traditional field locate, aka “paint on the ground”, when using a specific method of excavation ( hydro vac), for low risk work. We hope this helps make this innovative process a bit clearer for our clients and the public. To help explain what this is and how it works, we have developed a frequently asked questions document. With many of the province’s larger underground facility owners, we have established an alternate arrangement – an Alternate Locate Agreement, often referred to as an “ALA”.
However, this does not always mean we need to have traditional field locates.
As a leading provider of hydro vac excavation services throughout Ontario, it is necessary for Super Sucker Hydro Vac Services to have locates when digging.
