Under existing law, a charter school is a public body to which the provisions governing public works apply to its projects for new construction, repair or reconstruction. (Chapter 338 of NRS; NRS 388A.320) Existing law authorizes a charter school to: (1) enter into a contract with specified governmental entities for the provision of facilities to operate the charter school; (2) use any public facility located within the school district in which the charter school is located; or (3) acquire and construct, reconstruct, improve, maintain, equip and furnish any building, structure or property and complete related improvements for the use of any of its educational purposes. (NRS 388A.378) Section 10 of this bill requires a charter school to provide to the sponsor of the charter school: (1) written notice of any project for the new construction, repair or reconstruction of any building, structure, facility or property, regardless of its ownership, which the charter school uses for any of its educational purposes if the estimated cost exceeds $100,000; (2) documentation of compliance with the requirements for competitive bidding for such a project; and (3) records relating to compliance with the requirements for the payment of prevailing wages on such a project. Section 4 of this bill requires the sponsor of the charter school to ensure that a charter school from which it receives notification for a project pursuant to section 10 complies with the provisions relating to the payment of prevailing wages and, with certain exceptions, competitive bidding with respect to the project, and provides penalties for the failure of a sponsor to comply with this requirement.
