NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Construction Industry Licensing Board has declined to rule on the petition for declaratory statement filed by Vogt Power International, on April 26, 2011. The following is a summary of the agency's declination of the petition:
The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in Vol. 37, No. 20, of the May 20, 2011, Florida Administrative Weekly. The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on June 10, 2011. The petition requested the Board’s interpretation of Section 489.105, Florida Statutes, and whether an electrical power generation company can contract with a licensed construction company to install, repair, upgrade, etc., heat recovery steam generators (HRSG), boilers, pressure vessels, and related ancillary power generation equipment. The Board’s Order, filed on July 12, 2011, grants the Petition for Declaratory Statement. A general contractor may contract for any activity under Chapter 489, Florida Statutes, and may perform any work except as described under Section 489.113, Florida Statutes. Therefore, to install, repair, upgrade heat recovery steam generators (HRSG), boilers, pressure vessels, and related ancillary power generation equipment, a general contractor’s license is required, but such services are subject to the subcontracting requirements of Chapter 489, Florida Statutes.
A copy of the Order Declining of the Petition for Declaratory Statement may be obtained by contacting: G. W. Harrell, Executive Director, Construction Industry Licensing Board, P.O. Box 5257, Tallahassee, Florida 32314-5257.
