NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Construction Industry Licensing Board has issued an order disposing of the petition for declaratory statement filed by Steven Markel, Complete Environmental Solutions on January 12, 2011. The following is a summary of the agency's disposition of the petition:
The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in Vol. 37, No. 6, of the February 11, 2011, Florida Administrative Weekly. The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on February 11, 2011. The petition requested the Board’s interpretation of Chapter 489, Florida Statutes, and whether a mechanical contractor is licensed to install a small lift station from the home into the common sewer line at the street. The Board’s Order, filed on March 18, 2011, answers the Petition for Declaratory Statement that pursuant to Section 489.105, Florida Statutes, a plumber is required to connect the required sanitary lines for the lift station. Therefore, the Board hereby issues a declaratory statement that a mechanical contractor may not hook up sanitary or sewer lines, but could potentially be allowed to operate as a prime contractor for such a job, provided the requirements to operate as a prime contractor were met pursuant to Chapter 489, Florida Statutes.
A copy of the Order Disposing 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.
