Goverment work?

[WirenutNH]

I'm looking to find out if someone can point me in the right direction. We are a liscensed electrical contractgor in multiple New England states. We have been asked by a large GC that we do a lot of work for to bid a job at a Goverment air force base, in a state we are not lisecsened in. He is telling me that there is no state lisecense requirements do to it being goverment work. Any input would be helpful?

This is true. Federal installations such as military bases do not come under local jurisdiction.

 

[petersonra]

yep. true.

however, it is not unheard of for government contracts to require you to have a license of some sort as part of the proof that you are competent to do the work.

While I agree with the others that the state or local AHJ has no jurisdiction on federal properties, there are some cases where the project is not on federal property and this in most cases makes it revert back to the state or local AHJ. For example, if you are working, say, in a national park or military base, then yes the feds call their own shots and in my experience will accept any valid license as proof of competency. If the project is for something like an office build out in a building that the feds are only a tenant it will come under the local or state AHJ.

you still have to follow NEC rules too. but the feds are their own AHJ and do their own inspections.

You haven't lived until you've had the Army Corps of Engineers scrutinize your work. hmy:
