NAC338.380. Application for qualification; disqualification; inclusion of subcontractor in bid.

     1. If, pursuant to subsection 3 of NRS 338.1376, a subcontractor is required to submit an application for qualification to be included in a bid pursuant to NRS 338.141, the Administrator shall notify the subcontractor of that fact in writing by certified mail. The subcontractor must submit a completed application for qualification to the Administrator, on a form provided by the Board, not later than 30 days after the date on which the subcontractor received the notice. If a completed application for qualification from the subcontractor is not timely received by the Division, the subcontractor shall be deemed to be disqualified for 1 year commencing on the 31st day after the date on which the subcontractor received the notice. This subsection does not preclude the Division from removing a subcontractor pursuant to paragraph (a) of subsection 5 of NRS 338.141.

     2. The Division will specify in each application for qualification the cost categories of:

     (a) Less than $1,000,000;

     (b) One million dollars to $5,000,000; and

     (c) More than $5,000,000,

Ê for which a subcontractor may be qualified, which are based on the estimated cost of that portion of the work for which the subcontractor will be responsible. If a subcontractor is qualified to be included in a bid pursuant to NRS 338.141 in one of the cost categories specified in this subsection, the subcontractor may be included in a bid pursuant to NRS 338.141 in any lower cost category.

     3. A subcontractor must indicate on his or her application for qualification the cost category for which the subcontractor seeks to be qualified to be included in a bid pursuant to NRS 338.141.

     4. An application for qualification must contain the original signature of the subcontractor. The Division will not accept a faxed or photocopied application.

     5. The submission of a materially incomplete or falsified application for qualification by a subcontractor and the failure of the subcontractor to disclose information required in the application may be grounds for the disqualification of the subcontractor.

     6. The Division will not delay the award of bids on a public work pending the determination or appeal of the determination of the qualification of a subcontractor who was included in a bid.
