What happens here
Sam explains a significant delay due to missing utility locates. Despite calling for locates a week prior, the markers (flags or paint) are absent, preventing digging in most areas. Only one gas line locate was found. This halts progress as digging without knowing utility locations is extremely hazardous. He emphasizes that they must proceed with extreme caution if locates don't arrive. This incident causes a full day of delay, as they cannot dig around unmarked gas, electric, and other lines.
Goal: Resolve missing utility locates to safely proceed with excavation.
