2026 Member Fee Schedule

As a non-profit organization, we work hard to ensure we’re collecting the necessary revenue to cover our planned costs for the services provided to OKIE811 members. Knowing our services are provided to all members, our intent is to fairly distribute the cost of operations across the Membership.

The 2026 Fee Schedule has been approved by the OKIE811 Board of Directors and will go into effect November 1, 2025. The 2026 Fee Schedule will apply for services rendered from 11/1/2025 – 10/31/2026. There has been no increase in fees from the 2025 Fee Schedule.

As you plan ahead, please note that non-emergency locate requests require a 48-hour notice period (excluding the day the ticket is submitted, weekends, and holidays). That means if a ticket is issued before the holiday, the work to begin date might end on a weekend or a non-working day—so it’s a good idea to use the full notice period to get those locates and responses in on time. The work date and time, which may fall on a holiday, begin at the end of the notice period unless the excavator provides more than 48 hours’ notice.

If you anticipate a delay in responding before the scheduled work begins, please contact the excavator promptly and document the details of your communication in the response comments of the ticket.

Effective July 1, 2025, OKIE811 will reduce the Dig Site Buffer from 150 feet to 50 feet, as approved by our Board of Directors in May 2025. 

This change aims to improve operational efficiency by focusing notifications more precisely on relevant dig site activity, reducing unnecessary alerts to members. 

Understanding the Buffers: 

• Service Area Buffer: Set by each member around their service areas, this ensures coverage based on your infrastructure and mapping confidence. 

• Dig Site Buffer: Automatically applied around the excavator’s dig site to determine which members are notified. 

Thanks to advances in mapping accuracy, this reduced buffer helps us notify only the members likely to be affected by excavation activity. 

We recommend reviewing your current Service Area Buffer settings. If needed, you can adjust them to maintain your desired level of notification using the OKIE811 Service Area Editor, our self-service tool for managing service areas. 

If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact our support team.

You can find a variety of resources to help you with service area mapping changes on the Facility Operators Page.
