A design-build proposal includes a fire sprinkler system classified as C-16 work. What must the Class B contractor do to contract for that work?

Correct Answer

D) Hold the C-16 specialty license or subcontract with an appropriately licensed C-16 contractor.

B&P Code Section 7057 requires the general building contractor to hold the C-16 specialty license or subcontract with the properly licensed specialty contractor for fire protection work.

Answer Options
A
Self-perform it under Class B authority because sprinklers are inside the building.
B
Let the owner buy the sprinkler materials and have labor install them informally.
C
Treat the work as allowed under the existing license where a design-build proposal includes a fire sprinkler system classified as C-16 work, without confirming the CSLB classification.
D
Hold the C-16 specialty license or subcontract with an appropriately licensed C-16 contractor.

Why This Is the Correct Answer

B&P Code Section 7057 requires the general building contractor to hold the C-16 specialty license or subcontract with the properly licensed specialty contractor for fire protection work.
