A general engineering contractors and B general building contractors are reminded that due to the Hawaii Supreme Courts January 28, 2002 decision in Okada Trucking Co., Ltd. v. Board of Water Supply, et al, 97 Haw. 450 (2002), they are prohibited from undertaking any work, solely or as part of a larger project, which would require the general contractor to act as a specialty contractor in any area where the general contractor has no license. Although the A and B contractor may still bid on and act as the prime contractor on an A or B project (See, HRS § 444-7 for the definitions of an A or B project), respectively, the A and B contractor may only perform work in the areas in which they have the appropriate contractors license (An A or B contractor obtains C specialty contractors licenses either on its own or automatically under HAR § 16-77-32.).
