1Under 18VAC50-22-30, the Board for Contractors abbreviation for marine facility contracting is:
A.MCC
B.MFC
C.MRC
D.VCC
Explanation: 18VAC50-22-30 defines marine facility contracting with the official abbreviation MCC. Candidates should recognize MCC on the license, on PSI specialty materials, and in Board correspondence. Look-alike codes such as MFC or MRC are not the regulatory abbreviation.
218VAC50-22-30 defines marine facility contracting as construction, repair, improvement, or removal of any structure whose purpose is to:
A.Provide access to, impede, or alter a body of surface water
B.Hold or convey sanitary, storm, waste, or potable water
C.Generate alternative energy measured from the customer's meter
D.Construct accessory-use buildings annexed to a dwelling
Explanation: The official MCC definition is construction, repair, improvement, or removal of any structure whose purpose is to provide access to, impede, or alter a body of surface water. That wording covers piers, docks, bulkheads, revetments, and similar water-access or shoreline structures. Other specialties cover tanks/piping, alternative energy, and accessory buildings.
3Which Board for Contractors classifications also provide the marine facility contracting function defined in 18VAC50-22-30?
A.CBC and H/H
B.RBC and ELE
C.HVA and PLB
D.AES and VCC
Explanation: 18VAC50-22-30 states that the CBC and H/H classifications also provide the MCC function. A firm holding CBC or H/H may perform that water-access and shoreline work without a separate MCC specialty. MCC itself remains the dedicated specialty for contractors who are not licensed in those broader classifications.
4The MCC specialty expressly does not provide for which of the following?
A.Construction of accessory structures
B.Removal of an existing timber pier
C.Repair of a vinyl bulkhead
D.Improvement of a fixed private dock
Explanation: 18VAC50-22-30 states that MCC does not provide for the construction of accessory structures or electrical, HVAC, or plumbing functions. Removal, repair, and improvement of piers, docks, and bulkheads are inside the specialty because those structures provide access to, impede, or alter surface water.
5An MCC contractor is hired to rebuild a private pier. The owner also wants new 120-volt receptacles and lighting on the pier. Under 18VAC50-22-30, the MCC specialty:
A.Does not provide the electrical functions; that work requires an appropriate electrical license
B.May install the receptacles and lighting because they are annexed to the pier
C.May run conductors only if they operate at 50 volts or less
D.May perform the electrical work if the pier is over state-owned bottom
Explanation: MCC does not provide electrical functions. Dock power and lighting belong to an electrical contractor (ELE) or another classification that includes that work. Water location does not expand MCC into electrical scope.
6A waterfront owner asks the MCC contractor to install a packaged heat-pump unit in a shoreline pump house that serves the dwelling. The MCC specialty:
A.Does not provide HVAC functions
B.May install the unit because the pump house is at the water's edge
C.May install the unit if no refrigerant charging is required
D.May install the unit if the H/H classification also covers marine work
Explanation: 18VAC50-22-30 states that MCC does not provide HVAC functions. A shoreline location does not convert mechanical equipment into marine-facility work. The owner needs an HVAC-licensed contractor for that equipment.
7Which task is outside MCC specialty scope under 18VAC50-22-30?
A.Installing potable-water piping and a hose bib as a new plumbing run on a rebuilt dock
B.Driving treated timber piles for a new private pier
C.Replacing failed vinyl sheet-pile bulkhead panels
D.Placing graded riprap to armor an eroding shoreline
Explanation: MCC does not provide plumbing functions. New potable-water piping and hose bibs are plumbing-contractor work. Pile-supported piers, bulkheads, and riprap that access, impede, or alter surface water are the core of the MCC definition.
8A client wants a deteriorated timber pier completely taken out and not replaced. Is that work inside the MCC specialty?
A.Yes. The definition includes removal of a structure that provided access to surface water
B.No. Removal is reserved to the H/H classification only
C.No. MCC covers new construction only
D.Only if the pier is attached to a commercial building
Explanation: The MCC definition lists construction, repair, improvement, or removal. Taking out a pier that provided water access is removal of a marine facility. CBC and H/H also provide the function, but MCC is not limited to new work or commercial attachments.
9How does the MCC specialty differ from vessel construction contracting (VCC)?
A.MCC covers structures that access, impede, or alter surface water; VCC covers nonresidential vessels, tanks, or piping that hold or convey fluids other than sanitary, storm, waste, or potable water
B.MCC and VCC are interchangeable abbreviations for the same specialty
C.VCC covers private piers and MCC covers only commercial marinas
D.MCC covers boats and barges; VCC covers docks and bulkheads
Explanation: 18VAC50-22-30 separates the two specialties. MCC is about water-access and shoreline structures. VCC is about nonresidential vessels, tanks, or piping that hold or convey fluids other than sanitary, storm, waste, or potable supplies. They are not interchangeable.
10A waterfront contract includes (1) a new timber pier, (2) a detached storage shed on upland, and (3) a 120-volt dock pedestal. Which statement correctly maps the work to MCC?
A.Only the pier is MCC; the shed is an accessory structure and the pedestal is electrical
B.All three items are MCC because they are part of one waterfront contract
C.The pier and shed are MCC; only the pedestal is excluded
D.The pier and pedestal are MCC; only the shed is excluded
Explanation: MCC covers the pier because it provides access to surface water. The regulation excludes accessory structures and electrical functions, so the upland shed and the dock pedestal are outside MCC. Bundling them in one contract does not expand the specialty.
