SECTION 109 OF THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACT OF 1974 The Contractor shall comply with the provisions of Section 109 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974.

Public Works Installation work which is considered public works is excluded from purchase under this Contract. Historically, the New York State Bureau of Public Works has maintained that installation, maintenance and repair of equipment attached to any wall, ceiling or floor or affixed by hard wiring or plumbing is public work. 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 (e.g., installation on a wall, ceiling or floor in a fixed location, or affixed by hard-wiring or plumbing). See Xxxxxxxx X, §00, Prevailing Wage Rates - Public Works and Building Services Contracts. For questions about whether a proposed installation constitutes public work, please contact the New York State Department of Labor’s Bureau of Public Work district office in your area. A listing of district offices and contact information is available at: xxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xx.xxx/workerprotection/publicwork/PWContactUs.shtm.
