A petition for an extension of time in which to renew must be filed by the last working day of the month in which the license expires and may be extended once for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days. Approval of a petition for extension of time authorizes operation as a contractor.
c. Failure to File. If the licensee fails to file a timely application for renewal or petition for extension, the license lapses and expires on the last day of the license period. Licenses not renewed in a timely manner are considered delinquent for a period of one (1) year from the last day of the license period and may be renewed at any time during that year.
d. Expedited Licensure. Upon an applicant's request and payment of a fee of one hundred dollars ($100), the Division will expedite its review and determination of a license application.

The aggregate total of bids must include all bids of the subcontractors. Subcontractor bids are not considered a separate bid for the purposes of computing the bid on a given public works project.
d. Two or More Licensees. Two (2) or more licensees of the same class or of different classes are not permitted to combine the estimated cost or bid limit of their licenses to submit a bid in excess of the license held by either licensee.
06.Construction Manager Examinations.
