In contrast, installation of a piece of equipment which is portable or a “plug-in” free-standing unit would not be considered public work. Thus, this Contract does not authorize installation where the equipment becomes a permanent part of the building structure, or is otherwise incorporated into the fabric of the building (i.e. installation on a wall, ceiling or floor in a fixed location, or affixed by hard- wiring or plumbing). See Appendix A, Clause 6, Wage and Hours Provisions. For questions about whether a proposed work constitutes public work, please contact the New York State Department of Labor’s Bureau of Public Work District Office in a specific area.
