      1. To qualify to bid on one or more contracts for public works, a prime contractor must:

     (a) Submit an application to the Administrator on a form prescribed and provided by the Board.

     (b) Be qualified before bids are required to be submitted for a public work on which the prime contractor wishes to bid. The Division will not delay the opening of bids on a public work pending the determination or appeal of the qualification of a prime contractor who wishes to bid on the public work.

     2. The Division will specify:

     (a) In the application for a specific public work, any special requirements for the specific public work that the Division prescribes.

     (b) In the application for qualification for a 2-year period, the cost categories:

          (1) Of less than $100,000;

          (2) Of $100,000 to $1,000,000;

          (3) Of $1,000,001 to $5,000,000; and

          (4) Of more than $5,000,000,

Ê for which a prime contractor may be qualified, which are based on the estimated cost of an individual public work. If a prime contractor is qualified to bid on public works in one of the cost categories specified in this subsection, the prime contractor is eligible to bid on public works in any lower cost category.

     3. If the application is for qualification for a 2-year period, the prime contractor must indicate on the application:

     (a) Whether the prime contractor is interested in receiving offers to bid on public works for which the estimated cost is more than $25,000 but less than $100,000; and

     (b) The cost category for which the prime contractor seeks to qualify to submit bids.

     4. If the prime contractor is qualified to receive the preference set forth in NRS 338.13844, the prime contractor must indicate on the application his or her qualification for the preference.

     5. An application must contain the signature of the prime contractor who is submitting the application.

     6. The submission of a materially incomplete or falsified application or the failure of a prime contractor to disclose information in the application may be grounds for a delay in the qualification of the prime contractor or the denial or revocation of the qualification of a bidder.
