 Carrier contracted with outside forces to add a second floor to the office building in Flat Rock, Michigan. Part of the work performed by outside forces was the installation of conduit to house wires. The organization contends that this work belo have employed its own forces to do the work.

 This Board has reviewed the positions of each side in this case and we are forced to conclude that no restriction exists that keeps Carrier from contracting out large construction projects that may include conduit installation as well.
