Existing law sets forth general provisions applicable to public works, including provisions requiring: (1) the payment of prevailing wage on public works; and (2) the use of apprentices on public works. (NRS 338.01165, 338.013-338.090) Existing law further makes the prevailing wage requirements applicable to certain construction projects that are not: (1) public works; or (2) part of a contract to which a public body of this State is a party.

Existing law exempts from certain provisions of law governing public works, a contract under which a private developer constructs a water or sewer line extension and any related appurtenances that qualify as a public work if the developer is not responsible for paying the initial construction costs of the project. However, existing law applies the requirements for the payment of prevailing wage to such contracts. (NRS 338.0115) Section 1 of this bill also applies the requirements for the use of apprentices on public works to such contracts.
Section 39 of this bill requires each agency and governing body whose regulations or ordinances, as applicable, conflict or are inconsistent with the provisions of sections 1-38 to revise such regulations or ordinances to conform with those provisions.
