INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONTRACTOR'S LICENSING
"A" general engineering contractors and "B" general building contractors are reminded that due
to the Hawaii Supreme Court's 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" or
"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" and "B" project.), respectively, the "A" and "B"
contractor may only perform work in the areas in which they have the appropriate contractor's
license (An "A" or "B" contractor obtains "C" specialty contractor's licenses either on its own, or
automatically under HAR 16-77-32.). The remaining work must be performed by appropriately
licensed entities. It is the sole responsibility of the contractor to review the requirements of this
project and determine the appropriate licenses that are required to complete the project.
