State of NY LV Requirements

[James@CHA]

OK guys no politics here but I have a question for those of you working in New York.

I have a friend who called me, he is a director for a state university, and is considering hiring what he calls Cable Tech's to run, install, terminate, maintain, test, etc of IT type cables like Cat-6. That person will also maintain some of the IT equipment. Right now they use contractors, but they are looking at the cost and considering go in-house to do the work.

So I have two thoughts, but do not know the state as whole to advice and would like some feedback:

*License and Union requirements to do LV work in the state of New York?

Please keep it clean and on point, with just the facts.:grin:

Most likely this will be small interior jobs, it sounds like the in-house IT staff could handle most work other than routing of cables.

If the work is associated with a renovation project it will have to go through the SUCF (State University Construction Fund). I would check the SUCF division 16 directives regarding computer lab work.
