Practices
QUESTION 1. A Class II Alarm Systems Contractor is awarded a contract to install a
commercial intrusion alarm system with integrated access control. Before work
begins, the contractor discovers that the approved permit was issued using an
expired qualifier's license. What is the most appropriate course of action?
A. Continue work because the permit was already issued.
B. Suspend work until the licensing issue is corrected through the appropriate
authority.
C. Replace the qualifier after completing installation.
D. Continue work only if the owner approves.
Correct Answer: B. Suspend work until the licensing issue is corrected through the
appropriate authority.
Explanation: Florida licensing law requires alarm contractors to perform regulated
work only under valid licensure and proper qualification. Continuing under an invalid
qualifier could expose the contractor to disciplinary action, contract disputes, and
permit violations. Owner approval does not override statutory licensing requirements,
and replacing the qualifier after completion does not cure work performed without
proper authority.
,QUESTION 2. A contractor delegates supervision of multiple installation crews to an
experienced technician who is not the licensed qualifier. Which statement best
reflects the licensed qualifier's responsibility?
A. Responsibility transfers entirely to the technician.
B. Responsibility is shared equally between the owner and technician.
C. The licensed qualifier remains responsible for code compliance and supervision.
D. Responsibility ends after permits are issued.
Correct Answer: B. The licensed qualifier remains responsible for code compliance
and supervision.
Explanation: Florida licensing places ultimate responsibility on the qualifying agent for
ensuring work complies with applicable laws and codes. While supervisory duties may
be delegated operationally, legal responsibility cannot be delegated. The remaining
options incorrectly shift or eliminate statutory accountability.
QUESTION 3. During contract negotiations, a client requests removal of several
required code-compliant devices to reduce project costs. What should the contractor
do?
A. Remove the devices after obtaining written owner approval.
B. Install temporary substitutes.
C. Decline to omit required code provisions and recommend a compliant alternative.
D. Complete the project exactly as requested.
Correct Answer: C. Decline to omit required code provisions and recommend a
compliant alternative.
Explanation: Contractors may value-engineer projects, but they cannot knowingly
violate adopted codes. Required life-safety or security provisions cannot be waived
, solely for cost savings. Written owner approval does not authorize noncompliant
construction.
QUESTION 4. Which document generally establishes the legal scope of work
between an alarm contractor and the customer?
A. Equipment catalog
B. Installation invoice
C. Executed contract
D. Inspection checklist
Correct Answer: C. Executed contract.
Explanation: The executed contract defines responsibilities, scope, pricing, change
procedures, warranties, and legal obligations. Equipment catalogs and invoices support
the project but do not establish the contractual relationship.
QUESTION 5. A contractor encounters concealed building conditions requiring
significant additional wiring beyond the original bid. Which action represents the
best professional practice?
A. Perform the work without documentation.
B. Stop work permanently.
C. Obtain written authorization through an approved change order before
proceeding whenever required.
D. Bill the owner after project completion.
Correct Answer: C. Obtain written authorization through an approved change
order before proceeding whenever required.
