Nevada State Contractors Board — low-voltage work requires the C-2d (Low Voltage) license, with a monetary bid limit set per license. Primes verify both licensing and insurance during Avetta / ISNetworld onboarding — get either wrong and the PO stalls.
The four claim types that hit fiber and low voltage crews most often — and the coverage line that responds to each.
A directional bore or trench clips a gas, water, or electric line. The most expensive claim class in fiber construction — evacuation, utility repair, and third-party damages stack fast. GL responds, but only if your policy carries no XCU exclusion (CG 21 42). We verify before binding.
Your crew damages a live line on a joint pole or shared duct bank, and the owner bills repair plus service-interruption damages. GL property damage responds — watch for “care, custody, or control” pushback on the strand you were hired to work.
A bucket truck rear-ends traffic near a Las Vegas work zone, or a towed drill rig fishtails on the highway. Commercial auto responds — a trailered rig follows the power unit’s liability, while physical damage on the rig itself is an inland marine claim.
Falls from aerial work, trench cave-ins, strain injuries on cable pulls. Workers’ comp pays medical and lost wages — and your class code (7600 vs. 6325) drives the premium, so misclassification costs real money at audit.
