Furthermore, this limitation will not apply to independent main lines and service out-lets (stub-out regardless of proximity to building or heavy engineering structure; construction and installation of pipelines (except cross-country transportation mainline pipelines), including municipal-type utility distribution pipelines, for the distribution of petroleum or natural gas, up to the first metering station or connection with the transportation mainline pipeline; provided, "First metering station or connection" means that point which divides cross-country transportation mainline transmission lines or higher pressure lateral and branch lines from lower pressure distribution systems.

(2) Type "B" The general building classification shall include the construction, alteration, repair and demolition of buildings, including office buildings, warehouses, industrial and commercial buildings, institutional and public buildings and all air-conditioning, conduit, heating and other mechanical and electrical works and site preparation for buildings or heavy engineering projects under this classifications; except that construction, alteration, repair and demolition of buildings under the scope of this classification shall not include construction, alteration, repair and demolition of buildings under the class "C" classification of Subsection A of 11.1.2.10 NMAC, of these regulations; stadia; and shall include electrical, gas, water, sewer lines and other such utility construction which are part of projects under this classification and included within the property line or less than five feet from the building or heavy engineering structure, whichever is closer, provided, however, with regard to electrical utilities such construction shall include construction from the first attachment of incoming power source without regard to the property line or proximity to the building or the heavy engineering structure.

B. On contracts which involve more than one classification of construction, as defined in 11.1.2.10 NMAC the director shall issue predeterminations, including therein the appropriate wage rates for each classification of construction where none of the classifications comprises 80% of the total contract cost.
