If a licensed fire protection sprinkler contractor desires to do business in any
part of the state, he shall be required by KRS 198B.560 and 198B.565 to
deliver to the local building official a copy of his fire protection sprinkler
contractor's license. The local building official shall require a copy of the license
before issuing a license or building license and no local official shall impose
any other competency requirements on the licensed fire protection sprinkler
contractor.
Nothing in KRS 198B.560 and 198B.565 limits the power of a city,
urban-county, county or state to regulate the quality and character of work
performed by contractors, through a system of permits, fees and inspections
which are designed to assure compliance with, and aid in the implementation
of state and local building laws or to enforce other local laws for the protection
of the public health and safety. Nothing in KRS 198B.560 and 198B.565 limits
the power of a city, urban-county, county or the state to adopt any system of
permits requiring submission to and approval by the city, urban-county, county
or the state of plans and specifications for work to be performed by contractors
before commencement of the work. The official authorized to issue building or
other related permits shall ascertain that the fire protection sprinkler contractor
is duly licensed by requiring evidence of a valid fire protection sprinkler
contractor's license as a prerequisite to that contractor beginning design,
installation, repair, alteration, extension, maintenance, or inspection of fire
protection sprinkler systems.
KRS 198B.560 and 198B.565 apply to any fire protection sprinkler contractor
performing work for any city, urban-county, special district, county, or the state.
Officials of any city, urban-county, special district, county or the state are
required to determine compliance with KRS 198B.560 and 198B.565 before
awarding any contracts for the installation, repair, alteration, addition, or
inspection of a fire protection sprinkler system. Bids for such work shall be
accompanied by a copy of a valid fire protection sprinkler contractor's license.
