<div style="text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">Leslie,</div>
<div style="text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><br>
</div>
<div style="text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">Here are some thoughts...</div>
<div style="text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><br>
</div>
<div style="text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">You've probably considered the exemptions at Sec. 489.103 including those at (6) and (15).</div>
<div style="text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><br>
</div>
<div style="text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">I think the design-build exemptions in Chapter 471, 481, and 489 should make either an engineering, architectural, or general contracting license suffice, if necessary, as long as the proper scope(s) are subcontracted
out to the appropriately licensed company(ies).</div>
<div style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><br>
</div>
<div style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">Whether a GC or electrical license is required depends on a close examination of the work. I think considering whether structural activities are occurring, what's being demolished (see
Sec. 489.105(3)), and what kind of electrical work is happening would be good places to start. </div>
<div style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><br>
</div>
<div style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">If engineering sub-consultants are hired by the company to fulfill part of the scope of the prime contract, I think this suggests that the company needs either an engineering license
or else a GC license (so it can take advantage of the design-build exemption at Section 471.003(2)(i)).</div>
<div style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><br>

on site.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">The on site work includes the installation of storage tanks, pumps, compressors, ducting, control valves, and other equipment, plus the electrical wiring, the foundations and structural systems necessary
to support same.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">The work would involve the hiring of subcontractors to perform the on site work and to fabricate some of the components, as well as the hiring of local engineering sub-consultants with respect to the on

<p class="MsoNormal">Presume this company is not licensed as a general contractor or an engineer with the Fla. Department of Business and Professional Regulation. What type of licensure would this company actually need in order to offer these services? Is
this company required to be a licensed engineering firm under Chap. 471, Fla. Statutes or a licensed GC under Section 489, Fla. Statutes, or both? I am wondering if there are any exceptions or factual distinctions for this type of manufacturing or systems
I may be overlooking.<o:p></o:p></p>
