LAWS OF MARYLAND

As to a different definition for the term
"construction" under the prevailing wage rate law, see
§ 17-201(d) of this article.

(F) CONSTRUCTION RELATED SERVICES.

"CONSTRUCTION RELATED SERVICES" MEANS FEASIBILITY STUDIES,
SURVEYS, CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT, CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION, AND
OTHER SIMILAR EFFORTS ASSOCIATED WITH CONSTRUCTION OR THE
ACQUISITION OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS AS DEFINED IN § 4-401(D) OF
THIS ARTICLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection formerly appeared as SF §
ll-101(j).

The only changes are in style.

Defined term: "Construction" § 11-101

(G) COUNTY.

"COUNTY" MEANS A COUNTY OF THE STATE AND, UNLESS EXPRESSLY
PROVIDED OTHERWISE, BALTIMORE CITY.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language added to
indicate that a reference in this Division II to
"county" includes Baltimore City, unless the reference
specifically provides otherwise.

Art. 1, § 14(a) of the Code provides that "county"
includes Baltimore City "unless such construction
would be unreasonable". However, the word
"unreasonable" in that subsection has been interpreted
in various ways. Therefore, a more explicit
definition of "county" is included in this Division
II.

CREATIVE WORK THAT:

(I)  IS PERFORMED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY
UTILITY, STRUCTURE, BUILDING, MACHINE, EQUIPMENT, OR PROCESS; AND

AND EXPERIENCE IN THE APPLICATION OF SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE OF THE
