Caucus & COW

Overview

Allows a contractor licensee to meet specified posting requirements for certain advertising by including a website's uniform resource locator (URL) on the advertising.

History

A licensed contractor must post the license number appearing on any license the licensee holds, preceded by the acronym ROC in: 1) a conspicuous place on premises where work is performed; 2) all written bids submitted by the licensee; and 3) all broadcast, published, internet or billboard advertising, letterheads and other documents used by the licensee to correspond with customers or potential customers. The ROC may take disciplinary action for a failure to meet the license number posting requirements. A licensee's failure to meet the requirements is not grounds for preventing the award of a contract, voiding an awarded contract or any other claim or defense against the licensee (A.R.S. § 32-1124).
