City of North Las Vegas 2021 Recovery Plan Performance Report 2

GENERAL OVERVIEW

Executive Summary 

On behalf of the Mayor John Lee, the North Las Vegas City Council, and City Manager Ryann 

Juden, the City of North Las Vegas submits the enclosed State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund 

2021 Recovery Plan to the U.S. Treasury for review and approval. 

The City of North Las Vegas serves more than 262,000 residents within its 101 square mile 

jurisdiction, and each of them have been impacted by the unprecedented effects of the COVID19 pandemic. The U.S. Treasury’s State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (SLFRF) is a 

generational opportunity for the City to address the disparate and disproportionate effects of 

coronavirus on our communities to ensure an equitable, strategic, and lasting recovery. The 

enclosed report details North Las Vegas’ plan to program these dollars in a way that meets both 

the immediate and ongoing needs of today while thoughtfully addressing the long-term 

opportunities of tomorrow. This includes supporting public health initiatives to stop the spread 

of COVID-19 and improve the outcomes for those infected; providing critical resources to 

families, children, and businesses struggling to make ends meet due to the economic impacts of 

the pandemic; and making investments into the City’s operations and infrastructure to ensure 

North Las Vegas remains a high-quality community of choice in Southern Nevada now and in 

the future. 

From the very beginning of this pandemic, the City of North Las Vegas has been focused on 

doing everything in our power to help constituents survive this pandemic. The City allocated $20 

million dollars -- 83 percent of the CARES Act funding we received -- directly back to the 

community in the form of small business grants, rental and mortgage assistance, utility 

assistance, broadband internet service, COVID testing, contact tracing, flu shots, mobile food 

pantries, and educational support. This was not an accident - it was by design, in order to 

maximize our impact in helping our constituents weather the fallout from the pandemic. It is 

logical then that our first step in developing this initial iteration of the North Las Vegas Recovery 

Plan was to solicit community input from a variety of stakeholders in the jurisdiction including 

residents, non-profit and community organizations, and businesses. This feedback, coupled 

with the City’s overarching strategic goals and the priorities of its elected leaders, resulted in the 

following strategic areas for SLFRF investment, presented to the City Council on August 18, 

2021:

● Addressing Educational Disparities ($9M): Students in the City of North Las Vegas 

have historically been subject to systemic inequity related to resources, accessibility, 

and other key metrics. The jurisdiction - which is part of the nation’s 5th largest public 

school district - has had a disproportionate number of low-performing schools for the 

past 25 years. The pandemic greatly exacerbated existing inequalities and gaps in 

educational opportunity and attainment for our students, and SLFRF will be programmed 

to even the playing field and ensure children in North Las Vegas have access to high 
City of North Las Vegas 2021 Recovery Plan Performance Report 3

quality education. 

● Assistance to Workers, Families, and Businesses Impacted by COVID-19 ($9M): 

North Las Vegas led the nation in unemployment rate (nearly 30%) during the onset of 

the pandemic, and projections on joblessness and homelessness in our communities 

continue to be dire. SLFRF funds will be deployed to provide a safety net for those most 

vulnerable to the fallout from COVID-19, including working class families and local small 

businesses. It is imperative to a sustainable recovery that resources are targeted to 

these backbones of our community. 

● Sustaining and Enhancing Government Services ($13.3M): Maintaining and in 

some cases increasing the level of various City services utilizing a portion of the funding 

identified as “Revenue Replacement” per the legislative guidelines is an inclusive and 

far-reaching investment in our City’s present and future. Projects supported under this 

initiative will improve the quality of life for residents in areas including roads and 

infrastructure, parks and recreation, public safety, and economic development. 

Investments in each of these areas will ensure North Las Vegas remains an outstanding 

community to work, live, and play. 

● Water, Sewer, and Broadband Infrastructure ($15M): The SLFRF legislation 

recognizes the critical need for investments and improvements to the nation’s water and 

broadband infrastructure, and carved out a specific bucket of eligibility to address them. 

North Las Vegas is looking closely at our current water and broadband infrastructure, 

including collaborating with partners at the local, county, and state level to identify 

projects that would benefit from SLFRF investment. This includes projects to ensure all 

members of the community have access to reliable, high-speed internet service and that 

both residential and commercial customers have access to safe, clean water. While 

strategic long-term investments in this category can have a profound impact on 

economic diversification and creation of quality jobs for our residents, this is also an area 

with a number of existing and planned federal dollars outside of SLFRF. The City is 

cognizant of these complimentary funding streams and is working to leverage the full 

suite of federal assistance available for these types of investments in order to maximize 

the impact of SLFRF resources in other areas. 

Each of these strategic investment areas align to the three overarching goals of North Las 

Vegas’ SLFRF fund deployment:

1. Identify and meet the immediate needs of the North Las Vegas community’s families, 

workers, and businesses impacted by COVID-19 and its effects on public and economic 

health.

2. Invest in eligible projects with clear and measurable long-term benefits to the City’s 

residents in the areas of education, workforce/business development, and resident 

quality of life.
City of North Las Vegas 2021 Recovery Plan Performance Report 4

3. Ensure an equitable recovery through targeted community engagement, intentional 

program design, and strategic investment in historically disadvantaged subgroups, 

especially those disproportionally affected by the pandemic. 

With a 73% non-White population, North Las Vegas is the largest minority-majority community 

in the state of Nevada. Study after study confirms that historically disadvantaged groups and 

communities of color have been bearing a disproportionate burden across all aspects of the 

pandemic, from health outcomes to educational disparity to economic well-being. Every SLFRF 

dollar invested by North Las Vegas will be done so with an eye toward an equitable recovery for 

all demographic, ethnographic, and geographic subgroups in our community. This will be 

achieved through intentional planning and execution designed to provide inclusive access to all 

programs, projects, and benefits provided through the Recovery Plan. 

Per the SLFRF legislation and Treasury Guidance, this initial Recovery Plan covers progress 

from the time of the initial 50% award disbursement (May 2021 for North Las Vegas) through 

July 31, 2021. During this initial reporting period, the City has not allocated any of its SLFRF 

funding to specific projects or programs; instead, we have been soliciting feedback from 

constituents through surveys and town hall events, strategizing with City Council, City staff, and 

stakeholders, and developing the strategic framework for our deployment of funds. With so 

much at stake and an extended period of time available to put these dollars to work, North Las 

Vegas is taking a deliberate approach to maximize the impact of each recovery dollar it 

receives. A series of quarterly and annual Project and Expenditure reports will include details 

on each specific program and project funded by SLFRF dollars as those initiatives are 

developed and launched. North Las Vegas will also be updating this Recovery Plan on an 

annual basis to share successes and challenges as well as address shifting priorities. 

This first Recovery Plan lays the initial framework for the use of the SLFRF dollars allocated to 

North Las Vegas, but this is a process that will require dexterity and the willingness to adapt in 

order to meet the most pressing needs of our community. The reality is that our nation is still in 

the grasp of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the complete array of its effects are not fully 

understood on a national, regional, or local level. This report is based on the priorities and gaps 

that exist today, however the City is fully aware that those priorities and gaps may look different 

in three weeks, three months, or three years from now. For that reason, the City is committed to 

a transparent and collaborative process in deploying SLFRF resources that focuses on 

continuous improvement and a constant revaluation of needs and opportunities. We look 

forward to continuing to engage with residents and stakeholders through December of 2024 to 

ensure the North Las Vegas Recovery Plan remains responsive, relevant, and impactful.

Uses of Funds

The City’s SLFRF investment framework is designed to drive dollars to the highest priority 

needs of the community for a mix of near-term and long-term benefits. It is imperative that 

SLFRF funds fill the clear and present gaps created by the pandemic while also recognizing the 

opportunity for meaningful investment in our future. To ensure maximum flexibility to the 

changing demands and priorities of the post-pandemic world, the City is allocating only the initial 

disbursement of SLFRF funding ($23,170,274) in this initial Recovery Plan to specific programs 
City of North Las Vegas 2021 Recovery Plan Performance Report 5

and projects. This will allow a closer examination of the public health and economic landscape 

in the coming months to ensure investments planned with the remaining allocation are timely 

and necessary. Furthermore, projects supported under the Sustaining and Enhancing 

Government Services strategic area have not been confirmed as of the publication of this 

report. City leadership is considering the results of public input sessions and holding on-going 

discussions with key staff to finalize the projects that will initially be supported through SLFRF 

dollars in this area. As they are identified, they will be brought to City Council for public 

discussion and formal approval by the City’s governing board. This process will facilitate a 

thoughtful inquiry into each proposed project funded with revenue replacement funding that 

includes the public voice and ensures limited dollars are being appropriated equitably and 

effectively. 

As a reminder, no expenditures have occurred as of the publication date of this Recovery Plan. 

The following is a breakdown of intended use of funds, categorized by the City’s strategic 

investment areas:

Addressing Educational Disparities:

$9,000,000 allocated in initial SLFRF tranche

North Las Vegas students are part of the Clark County School District (CCSD), the fifth largest 

public school system in that nation serving nearly 340,000 students. COVID-19 has severely 

affected a North Las Vegas student population that was already struggling to access quality 

education in their community. Although North Las Vegas has high-performing schools in more 

affluent areas of the city, the majority are 1- and 2-star schools concentrated in less affluent 

neighborhoods. North Las Vegas has historically been subject to systemic inequity related to 

resources, funding and other key metrics. Unfortunately, the pandemic has exacerbated these 

issues, most notably the widening of the digital divide caused by the switch to remote learning. 

A report by the Economic Policy Institute confirms that the pandemic has widened the existing 

opportunity gaps for our most at-risk student populations. Low-income and minority students’ 

education continues to be disproportionately impacted by lack of connectivity, family economic 

instability, and a higher prevalence of COVID infection and severe health outcomes. There is 

evidence for this on our own community: 36% of the students who were “lost” during the Spring 

2020 semester during distance learning (did not sign on regularly to their virtual classes) were 

from North Las Vegas. Similarly, 25% of the students who did not log-in to distance learning 

classes on the first day of the subsequent Fall 2020 semester were from North Las Vegas. 

When accounting for the fact that students from North Las Vegas make up only 10% of the 

district’s population, the disproportionate outcomes are alarming. These gaps in educational 

attainment today directly impact the economic landscape of tomorrow. A recent study by Yale 

economist Fabrizio Zilibotti predicts that ninth grade students from low-income communities like 

DPHS have lost 25% of their postsecondary earning potential due to distance learning. By 

comparison, there is no significant change expected for students from the wealthiest 20% of 

neighborhoods. 

North Las Vegas is allocating SLFRF resources to the following projects to address the 

educational disparities faced by our students:
City of North Las Vegas 2021 Recovery Plan Performance Report 6

 Southern Nevada Urban Micro-Academy (SNUMA)

 Treasury Expenditure Category: Services to Disproportionately Impacted Communities

During the summer of 2020, it was evident that COVID-19 was not subsiding and schools would 

not be returning to in-person instruction. The combination of a disproportionate lack of North 

Las Vegas student participation in virtual learning and the need for dependable and safe child 

supervision for our working families led to the development of the Southern Nevada Urban 

Micro Academy (SNUMA). Launched in Fall of 2020 this innovative, first-of-its-kind publicprivate partnership microschool provides a blended learning environment with a learning guide 

and online curriculum that meets Nevada Academic Content Standards, including a focus on 

STEAM. The program is open to students in grades 1-8 across three City-owned locations and 

there is no cost for participation. SNUMA follows the Southern Nevada Health District’s best 

practices and directives from the State -- everyone wears masks, seating is socially-distant, 

there is frequent cleaning and sanitizing in the rooms and around the facilities. The program 

delivered on its vision to provide a safe space for students to continue their education, but an 

unexpected outcome also emerged. SNUMA students were thriving. 75% of the nearly 100 

children who attended SNUMA last year arrived at least two grade levels behind in their mastery 

of English language arts and math. 100% of SNUMA students made at least one full year’s 

academic growth during the year in reading/English language arts, and 87% posted at least two 

years’ growth. The results in math were equally exciting: 92% finished the year having 

accomplished at least one school year’s academic growth in math, and 35% completed at least 

two years of academic growth. 

SNUMA has been supported by CARES Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF) funding, which is sunsetting in December 2021. SLFRF resources will be utilized to continue and expand SNUMA 

over the next four years, providing additional high-quality seats for North Las Vegas students to 

advance their educational achievement and growth. In addition, SLFRF funds will be allocated 

for a rigorous program evaluation of SNUMA to understand the drivers of the program’s success 

and determine the best way to scale its impact for more of our students. 

 Charter School Incubator

 Treasury Expenditure Category: Services to Disproportionately Impacted Communities

While SNUMA has been a success on a small scale for its enrollees, the City recognizes it 

needs a network of educational partners to move the needle for the student population at large. 

A portion of SLFRF will be designated for the creation of a Charter School Incubator program to 

permanently expand the number of quality seats available to North Las Vegas families. This 

initiative will provide space, incentives, and support for nationally recognized, high-performing 

charter school operators to open campuses within targeted areas of North Las Vegas. 

Incubation of these charter schools will provide immediate access to educational opportunities 

in temporary spaces while charter operators complete the planning, permitting, and construction 

process for their forever homes. This strategy will provide short-term benefits for current 

students while transforming educational access for generations of students to come. Funding 

will also be allocated to a comprehensive evaluation of the incubator program design and 

implementation to identify strengths and weaknesses to ensure desired results are achieved 

and course correction is implemented as needed. 
City of North Las Vegas 2021 Recovery Plan Performance Report 7

Beyond these two specific projects, communication between the City, the Clark County School 

District, local education nonprofits, and national education stakeholders continues. It is 

anticipated that these collaborations will result in additional educational equity programming 

supported by SLFRF funding in the future. 

Assistance to Workers, Families, and Businesses Impacted by

COVID-19:

$9,000,000 allocated in initial SLFRF tranche 

The pandemic continues to exacerbate long-standing inequalities in social and economic 

opportunity in addition to creating its own new brand of challenges for workers, families, and 

small businesses. A combination of immediate aid and strategic long-term investment is 

necessary to effectively combat the varied issues brought on by the COVID-19 health crisis. 

During the early stages of the emergency, the City of North Las Vegas quickly identified the 

importance of supporting families and small businesses during an unprecedented time of 

economic uncertainty. North Las Vegas experienced unemployment as high as 28.2% (a 

national high) and nearly 43% of our small businesses had to close their doors, some of which 

never opened again. The City responded by providing CARES CRF resources for three pivotal 

aid programs: the Small Business Assistance Program (SBAP), the regional CARES Housing 

Assistance Program (CHAP), and the NLVCares Utility Assistance Program. Through these 

three initiatives, the City provided $8.3M in aid to 370 small businesses; $2.1M in rental and 

mortgage assistance to nearly 500 households; and more than $2.7M in gas and energy bill 

assistance in the second half of 2020. The City’s commitment to supporting stable housing has 

continued in 2021 through an additional $4M investment of Emergency Rental Assistance 

Program funds in the CHAP program to serve North Las Vegas residents, while exploring 

complimentary programming options to more rapidly meet the growing housing demand.

North Las Vegas will leverage SLFRF funding to support the following programs in support of 

our workers, families, and businesses:

 North Las Vegas Small Business Support Hub

 Treasury Expenditure Category: Negative Economic Impacts

The struggles of our small business community - particularly those owned by disadvantaged 

groups – throughout the pandemic is well documented. In order to widen the pathway to 

recovery for our small businesses and ensure a strong economic environment for the City and 

the region, North Las Vegas will be creating a Small Business Support Hub on the ground floor 

of City Hall. Centrally located within the jurisdiction and conveniently set in the same building as 

the City’s permitting and planning departments – in addition to the Nevada Secretary of State’s 

office – the Hub will provide a one-stop shop experience for new and existing small business 

owners. At launch, the Hub will feature three distinct elements:

● NLV Small Business Development Center (SBDC): A partnership between the City and 

the UNLV Small Business Development Center, the mission of the NLV Small Business 

Development Center is to promote entrepreneurship, small business growth and the 

North Las Vegas economy by providing guidance to small business owners through 1:1 
City of North Las Vegas 2021 Recovery Plan Performance Report 8

advisory sessions, workshops and facilitating connections to resources, including 

capital. This developmental programming will support low-moderate income, women 

and minority entrepreneurs across the City with individual counseling from expert 

consultants, workshops tailored to new and experienced business owners, and 

technical assistance for completing loan applications and accessing affordable 

products for their businesses. The program is designed to deliver up-to-date 

counseling, training and technical assistance in all aspects of small business 

management. SBDC services include, but are not limited to, assisting small businesses 

with financial, marketing, production, organization, engineering and technical problems 

and feasibility studies. The SBDC also makes special efforts to reach minority 

members of socially and economically disadvantaged groups, veterans, women and 

the disabled. Assistance is provided to both current and potential small business 

owners. In addition to the SBDC Program, the SBA has a variety of other programs and 

services available. They include training and educational programs, advisory services, 

publications, financial programs and contract assistance. The agency also offers 

specialized programs for women business owners, minorities, veterans, international 

trade and rural development 

● EmployNV Hub: Developed in partnership with Workforce Connections, the region’s 

Workforce Development Board, the EmployNV Hub is an employer-focused center 

concentrating on the employment and training needs of businesses. The goal is to 

create a one-stop access point where employers can connect with the resources they 

need to access staffing pipelines and grow at no cost to their bottom line. Each hub is 

staffed with workforce development personnel trained to offer employers access to 

financial resources, training programs, talent development, staff recruitment 

campaigns, and more. The variety of services provided to businesses includes:

o Workforce development

o Access to work-ready alternative talent pools

o Employer-driven training programs

o Financial incentives for hiring and training Nevadans and providing work 

experience for youth

o Connectivity to short-term talent development at community college

o Connectivity to mid and long-term talent development at K-12

o Employer-specific job postings

o Customized recruitment campaigns and specialized hiring events

o Assistance with lay-offs or closures

o Unemployment employer services

o Labor market information

o Work opportunity tax credit

o Conference spaces equipped with the latest technology; computers and WiFi for 

small business owners or start-ups

o Overall unique areas to host employer and industry networking events and 

workshops
City of North Las Vegas 2021 Recovery Plan Performance Report 9

● North Las Vegas Revolving Loan Fund: A standalone product that will be marketed and 

accessed through the NLV SBDC, the North Las Vegas Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) 

will be a revolutionary, first-of-its-kind program in Southern Nevada. Funded with 

SLFRF dollars and administered by a partner Community Development Financial 

Institution, the RLF will create creates higher impact financing for start-ups, early-stage 

businesses, and expansion efforts generally not available through commercial lenders. 

A capital solution is desperately needed to address the gap in affordable funding 

available to early-stage entrepreneurs as well as existing underserved populations. 

Through the RLF, the City can provide higher volume, low-dollar financing via a low 

interest direct loan program. Proceeds from loan interest will be reinvested into the 

RLF to provide additional capital, perpetuating the program and increasing its impact. 

SLFRF funding will be leveraged to engage private investment from banks, 

philanthropists, etc. to further increase the fund’s breadth and depth in the community. 

Technical assistance, provided through the NLVSBDC, will be baked-in to underwriting 

for the loans, increasing risk mitigation and providing the support needed for new and 

emerging businesses to succeed in their launch and growth. 

This suite of small business services addresses three core needs of small businesses emerging 

from the pandemic. First, the SBDC provides a wide array of general technical assistance 

services to businesses in every stage of development through a proven approach supported by 

the federal Small Business Administration (SBA). Second, the EmployNV Hub offers focused 

staffing and workforce development assistance, connecting businesses to a high quality 

employee pipeline. Finally, the Revolving Loan Fund infuses microloans into the North Las 

Vegas ecosystem to facilitate the pivots and expansion necessary in a post-pandemic economy. 

The entire array of programming will conduct outreach and prioritize services to those 

traditionally left behind in business support programming, including minority-owned businesses, 

women-owned businesses, and veteran-owned businesses. Funding will also be allocated for 

evaluation of the Business Hub implementation in order to establish an evidence-base and track 

the progress toward its goals. 

The Hub initiative fits into a larger economic development strategy designed to stabilize and 

grow the City’s business and workforce environment over the next five years. This includes 

existing One-Stop Career Centers located in our libraries. Located in North Las Vegas library 

branches, the centers provide a wide array of employment services for jobseekers and connects 

them to work-related training and education. Additional workforce development programming 

may also be considered through the NLVCares Community Grant Program (see below). The 

City is also actively seeking funding through the Economic Development Administration (EDA) 

to advance projects that will further attract new, large-scale business development and lead to 

an increase in mid to high-wage jobs for our residents. 

These strategies are complemented by a portfolio of non-SLFRF funding deployed by the City to 

provide a safety net to the growing number of residents facing economic uncertainty due to and 

exaggerated by the COVID-19 health crises. This includes utilization of increased HUD 

entitlement dollars (including Emergency Solutions Grant, HOME Investment Partnership 

Program, and Community Development Block Grant funding) to facilitate robust housing stability 

and social services through our existing community partners; the creation of the XXX Team to 
City of North Las Vegas 2021 Recovery Plan Performance Report 10

conduct proactive street outreach and connect homeless individuals with resources, mental and 

physical health services, and support; and the expansion of existing partnerships with the Las 

Vegas Global Economic Alliance, various Chambers of Commerce, and the Governor’s Office of 

Economic Development to build resiliency within our business base. SLRF funding will 

supplement these efforts with game-changing investments that will shape a better future for 

workers, families, and businesses in North Las Vegas. 

NLVCares Community Grant Program

Treasury Expenditure Categories: Public Health; Negative Economic Impacts; Services to 

proportionately Impacted Communities

To best meet the needs of those residents hit hardest by the pandemic, North Las Vegas 

recognizes the importance of relying on the expertise of the subject matter experts who are 

closest to the issues impacting our communities. With that in mind, SLFRF funding will be used 

to create the NLVCares Community Grant Program. Through this process, nonprofit and 

community organizations will be invited to submit applications for funding for various eligible 

projects. Priority will be given to projects that align with the results of the City’s public input 

sessions: education, economic development/job creation, public health, and housing. Program 

design will include weighted scoring for evidence-based, innovative, and collaborative 

approaches. A panel of City leaders and community stakeholders will score the submissions, 

with the City Council approving all final funding decisions. Data collection and program 

evaluation will be a critical piece in gauging the effectiveness of funded programs. To that end, 

each funded project will have an evaluation component to measure impact and progress toward 

target goals in order to guide future investment decisions and scale successful programming 

models. 

This approach allows the City to leverage the vast expertise of a large network of community 

service providers across all sectors to initiate innovative and effectual programming. Casting a 

wide net will result in a large pool of recovery initiatives that will provide a mix of short and longterm benefits. Routing this funding through community organizations also strengthens 

implementation; these organizations have the dedicated staff, volunteers, and resources 

necessary to see the proposed projects to completion. The City looks forward to partnering with 

a diverse array of community organizations to identify and address emerging needs throughout 

the jurisdiction. 

Sustaining and Enhancing Government Services

$13,300,000 allocated in initial SLFRF tranche

In FY 2019, and prior to the onset of COVID-19 in FY 2020, the City experienced double-digit 

growth in general fund revenues due to increases in business licensing, permitting, investment 

income, and intergovernmental tax collections. In March 2020, the City's economic reality 

shifted dramatically as the pandemic forced businesses to alter operations with many being shut 

down temporarily or permanently. The general fund revenue projection was slashed by $29.7 

million (16.9%) from the submitted Tentative Budget to the Adopted FY 2021 Budget. As the 

economic outlook changed course rapidly, the City's leadership took quick and decisive action 

to counteract the new reality. Several planned capital improvement projects were either 
City of North Las Vegas 2021 Recovery Plan Performance Report 11

cancelled or delayed and budgeted operational cost increases related to expansion were put on 

hold. 40 General Fund supplemental FTE's (65 total FTE's) were eliminated and $6M of 

infrastructure replacement funding was cut. In addition, an $11.3 million budget reduction plan 

was put in place. The City will continue to monitor the short- and long-term direction of the local 

economy and the impact it has on revenues the City receives. Consolidated Taxes (C'-Tax), the 

City's biggest General Fund revenue source, was reduced $24 million from the Tentative 

Budget. A slowdown in engineering and building permits due to COVID-19 is also anticipated 

and built into the FY 2021 Adopted Budget with a reduction of approximately $5.7 million. 

Property taxes, along with all revenue sources, will be monitored closely with action taken if 

necessary to preserve the City's financial sustainability. With the levels of economic uncertainty 

due to COVID-19, the city must continue to exhibit fiscally responsible behavior with the ongoing 

goal of recurring revenues meeting or exceeding that of recurring expenses.

Per the Treasury’s Interim Final Rule, State, Local, and Tribal governments may use SLFRF 

funds to provide ‘‘government services’’ broadly to the extent of their reduction in revenue. 

North Las Vegas will not allocate the total amount eligible to this category (approximately 

$22.5M), choosing instead to make larger investments in the other eligible areas of need 

described in this section. However, the City does understand the importance of sustaining and 

in some cases increasing the provision of government services as an integral piece of an 

effective overall recovery strategy. The regional governmental structure does not traditionally 

position the City as a social service provider – that role is assumed by the County. The core 

business of North Las Vegas, its Mayor, and Council is providing high quality public services in 

areas such as public works, parks and recreation, and public safety for our residents. 

In the coming months, City leadership will work closely with staff to identify essential City 

services that were reduced or eliminated from the current budget due to COVID-related revenue 

concerns and analyze their role in an equitable and strong economic recovery. These projects 

will also be aligned with results of various public input forums to determine which investments 

best fit into the strategic framework of North Las Vegas’ Recovery Plan and can be supported 

with SLFRF funding. While determinations have not yet been made, a sampling of the types of 

projects that could be funded from this allocation include:

● Parks, Recreation, and Trails projects - including master planning - to develop and 

execute a future vision for recreation in our communities.

● Public works projects - including master planning – to improve roadways, walkways, 

infrastructure and increase traffic and pedestrian safety. 

● Investments in public safety, including critical North Las Vegas Fire Department and 

North Las Vegas Police Department infrastructure, equipment, and programming to keep 

our residents safe and healthy. 

This strategic area also provides a ripe opportunity to collaborate with adjacent jurisdiction, 

including Clark County and the State of Nevada, to leverage ARPA and other federal recovery 
City of North Las Vegas 2021 Recovery Plan Performance Report 12

dollars and magnify impact. Active discussions are currently ongoing with leaders of 

jurisdictions at all levels to find areas of intersecting interest where resources can be pooled to 

the produce regional benefit. These conversations are not just limited to SLFRF funds; regional 

collaborators are looking at various grants and financial assistance buckets to increase the level 

of services provided for residents across Southern Nevada. 

Water, Sewer, and Broadband Infrastructure

$15,000,000 allocated in initial SLFRF tranche

Historically underfunded by traditional federal assistance programs, water, sewer, and 

broadband infrastructure are explicitly singled out as an eligible expense category in the 

Treasury’s Interim Final Rule. Clean, accessible drinking water not only helps ensure public 

health, it also is a catalyst for economic development and the resulting job creation in 

undeveloped and underdeveloped parcels of land. Ensuring a safe public water distribution 

system and expanding its reach are vital to the City’s recovery framework. With that in mind, 

the following water infrastructure program will receive funding through the City’s Initial SLFRF 

allocation:

 Apex Water Loop Expansion

 Treasury Expenditure Category: Water, Sewer, and Broadband Infrastructure

The City of North Las Vegas has established a water and sewer master plan for the Apex 

Industrial Park that establishes the backbone water and sewer infrastructure for the business 

park, which consists of 16 subparks over the 7,523 developable acres. The demand for Apex 

development is currently hindered by the lack of water infrastructure. The addition of a third 

phase project to the City’s water line can dramatically jumpstart development in the northern 

areas of Apex to make economic diversity and an increase of quality jobs to the region a reality 

in the near-term. This additional phase (shown in yellow and red on the map) will extend water 

access north and allow development of the Kapex/Mountain View Industrial Park, which 

includes 2,504.2 acres of available land. The expanded system will provide capacity for 6 

million gallons of water per day to 272 existing parcels upon completion. The Southern Nevada 

Water Authority (SNWA) is currently working on two projects to design and construct a 

secondary water transmission system and a wastewater collection network to meet water 

demands for areas of the park currently without infrastructure (shown in blue on the map). 

Completion of these projects is estimated for December 2028. While the SNWA line provides a 

long-term water sourcing solution, it does not address the current water distribution to the 

various parcels. The proposed project has dual-benefits: First, it will accelerate development of 

Apex by creating a temporary water supply line to support general and advanced manufacturing 

business by providing necessary water infrastructure in the short-term. Once the SNWA water 
City of North Las Vegas 2021 Recovery Plan Performance Report 13

line is complete, the pipeline will be repurposed into a distribution line necessary to deliver water 

from the SNWA line to the businesses in Apex. 

A Way Forward for Apex, a 2017 study commissioned by the LVGEA and the City of North Las 

Vegas and conducted by the Urban Land Institute, identified Apex as “the premier facility to 

develop into the next generation of Technology Testing and Manufacturing Hub.” This ideal is 

supported by the growing list of interested companies in the Steering Committee’s targeted 

sectors have engaged the City, LVGEA, and GOED in discussions surrounding bringing 

facilities to Apex in the last 12 months. However, a major roadblock in closing a number of 

these deals and maximizing the industrial park’s potential is the lack of necessary water 

infrastructure and its associated costs. Apex’s geography and zoning - including its designation 

as a Foreign Trade Zone and lack of corporate income tax - make it an attractive target 

destination for businesses cluster development and expansion. Investment into Apex’s water 

infrastructure today will result in long-term, transformational economic development 

opportunities that will impact all of Southern Nevada for generations to come.

The 2017 report concluded that Apex 

has the land capacity to support 20,000 

jobs at build-out, with an additional 

56,000 jobs across Southern Nevada 

directly linked to its development. The 

Economic Development team in the City 

of North Las Vegas (with help from 

LVGEA and GOED) has been laserfocused on recruiting and landing 

manufacturing industry investment in 

Apex to fulfil its vision for the park. New 

jobs associated with Apex’s 

development are expected to be 

sustainable, mid to high-wage positions 

in cutting-edge industries. The 

importance of this particular brand of job 

creation has been magnified by COVID19 and its disproportionate effect on the 

travel and tourism industry that our 

region has so heavily relied on. From a 

national perspective, Apex has the 

advantage of being the largest industrial 

and manufacturing location available in 

the region. In addition to lower 

regulatory hurdles than neighboring states, investments in Apex are eligible to take advantage 

of the special tax incentives included in the Economic Diversification District legislation. Beyond 

Apex’s sheer size advantage, its proximity to both major road (I-15, I-215, and U.S. Route 93) 
City of North Las Vegas 2021 Recovery Plan Performance Report 14

and rail (Union Pacific) positions it as a major distribution hub for the California and Southwest 

markets

Broadband 

Much like cellular phones in the 2010’s, high speed internet access has become a fundamental 

and essential tool for all. The lack of access to broadband and the perils of those gaps were 

prominently exposed during the pandemic. However, a number of programs to expand 

broadband access have been created to plug connectivity holes, at least in the short term. This 

includes the FCC’s Emergency Connectivity Fund, Emergency Broadband Benefit, and 

Connecting Minority Communities programs as well as the NTIA’s Broadband Infrastructure 

program. With a variety of short-term solutions currently available, the City is waiting to allocate 

SLFRF resources toward broadband infrastructure at this time. Even without explicit SLFRF 

resources, work on providing every resident with access to reliable high-speed internet 

continues. This includes applying to the Emergency Connectivity Fund to purchase 300 

hotspot-enabled laptops for free long-term lending through our library system; partnering with 

the College of Southern Nevada to explore partnerships to magnify the impact of their 

Connecting Minority Communities program; engaging in regional discussions with neighboring 

jurisdictions to explore Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) solutions for increased “last 

mile” infrastructure; and working with the Nevada Office of Science, Innovation, and 

Technology to map gaps in broadband infrastructure and develop innovative ways to address 

deficiencies. The need for SLFRF for broadband will continued to be explored, and subsequent 

Recovery and Project Performance Plans will include any changes to the City’s approach. 

Promoting Equitable Outcomes

As Nevada’s largest minority-majority city, decision-making in all aspects of municipal 

management is made through an equity lens. Our vibrant and diverse communities are filled 

with historically underserved populations: According to US Census Bureau estimates, 41% of 

North Las Vegas residents are Hispanic or Latino, 21% are Black or African American, and 6% 

are a mix of two or more races; 14% of our families live at or below the federal poverty line; 

adjacent to the Nellis Air Force Base, North Las Vegas is also home to nearly 17,000 veterans. 

The City has always worked tirelessly to level the playing field for these populations by providing 

services, supports, and access in an intentional way. 

The disproportionate effects of COVID-19 on disadvantaged subpopulations strengthened this 

focus for North Las Vegas leadership. From a health perspective, black and brown 

communities are almost three times as likely to contract coronavirus compared to their white 

counterparts. Through the first two months of the pandemic, two-thirds of the North Las Vegas 

residents who died of COVID-19 were Black. Individuals making less than $50,000 per year are 

twice as likely to suffer serious health outcomes related to contracting COVID-19 compared to 

those making over $50,000. A study conducted by the Bob Woodruff Foundation has shown

that emergent trauma, loneliness due to social isolation, and unplanned wage loss or job 

termination can create or exacerbate mental health challenges for veterans. Accessing mental 
City of North Las Vegas 2021 Recovery Plan Performance Report 15

health services was already an area of concern for the veteran population, and now, there may 

be a surge in demand for these resources. But the inequality of pandemic effects is not purely 

health related; the groups are also disproportionately affected by the economic effects of 

pandemic-related business shutdowns. Workers of color are overrepresented in the sectors 

most affected by the shutdown. Members of Nevada’s diverse racial and ethnic groups are 

more likely to rent their homes, placing them at greater risk of evictions following the gradual lift 

of the state eviction moratorium. Across Nevada, there remains a shortage of rental homes 

available to extremely low-income households living at or below the poverty line.

Recognizing these burdens early in the emergency, North Las Vegas took swift action. Equitydriven responses by the City have included:

● The adoption of Resolution 2655, which condemned historic discrimination against the 

residents of North Las Vegas, and urging action to address the public health crises 

caused by systemic racism and greatly magnified by the COVID-19 pandemic in 

Nevada.

● Developing a targeted outreach strategy for the North Las Vegas small business grant 

program that resulted in 58% of applicants being minority-owned businesses, 35%

women-owned businesses, and 28% both minority and women-owned. This included a 

bilingual application.

● Working with community partners, including our library system, to provide assistance to 

residents completing housing assistance applications. 78% of rental and mortgage 

assistance recipients were Black and/or Hispanic. This included a bilingual application. 

● Developing a comprehensive vaccination outreach plan for underserved communities, 

including setting up bilingual registration stations in low-income and minority-dense 

neighborhoods; Conducting pop-up vaccination clinics in recreation centers and lowincome housing units; Bilingual phone calls and emails to residents in targeted ZIP 

codes; Public service announcements in English and Spanish on community radio 

stations and in grocery stores in under-vaccinated areas

North Las Vegas will continue taking affirmative steps toward an equitable recovery in its

administration of ARPA dollars. Fund deployment will focus on closing existing gaps for 

underserved communities, reaching universal levels of service, and disaggregating progress by 

race, ethnicity, and economic status. In order to reach the desired outcome of equal access 

and support for all residents, the following equity goals have been established related to the 

SLFRF investment strategy:

● Addressing Educational Disparities

○ Increasing the level of educational attainment for North Las Vegas students 

across all subgroups.

● Assistance to Workers, Families, and Businesses Impacted by COVID-19
City of North Las Vegas 2021 Recovery Plan Performance Report 16

○ Increasing access to childcare for all subgroups.

○ Decreasing the unemployment rate for North Las Vegas residents across all 

subgroups.

○ Decreasing the percentage of residents living in poverty across all subgroups.

○ Decreasing housing instability and homelessness across all subgroups.

○ Targeted support for veteran and disadvantaged businesses through the North 

Las Vegas Business Hub. 

● Sustaining and Enhancing Government Services

○ Targeting project and programming to QCZ’s and other historically underserved 

geographical areas.

● Water, Sewer, and Broadband Infrastructure 

○ Increasing access to reliable high-speed internet across all subgroups. 

In order to achieve these goals, the City will continue its established processes to ensure 

awareness and access to all of our residents and businesses. These strategies include 

bilingual application and marketing materials that are accessible and culturally relevant, 

conducting enhanced outreach through trusted community messengers in targeted communities 

to promote services and solicit feedback, and providing pathways for assistance in accessing 

project or program benefits. The NLVCares Community Grant program, for example, is 

specifically designed to promote an equitable recovery by soliciting solutions for populations 

disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 and funding the implementation of programs and 

projects that provide opportunities for disadvantaged groups. Future investments will undergo 

rigorous equity analysis prior to approval and implementation. Close examination of planning 

and progress through an equity lens will ensure all residents of the City benefit from the 

recovery effort.

Community Engagement

Meaningful community input has been a cornerstone of the development of the City’s initial 

SLFRF recovery framework and will continue to inform and influence our decision-making 

throughout the life of the Fund. Central to North Las Vegas’ SLFRF investment strategy is the 

recognition that SLFRF funding is fueled by taxpayer dollars for taxpayer benefit. All decisions,

from designing the strategic framework to allocation of funds for specific projects, are made 

through this lens and with our resident’s interests front and center. 

To ensure a diverse range of community input was received, a comprehensive outreach plan 

was developed by the North Las Vegas Communications department. Elements of the plan 

included:

ARPA Community Survey

In July 2021, the City released an online survey to capture input and feedback from the 

community at large on prioritization of SLFRF funding. The survey was provided in both 
City of North Las Vegas 2021 Recovery Plan Performance Report 17

Spanish and English and was promoted through various channels, including as a pop-up on the 

City’s homepage, a dedicated press release, social media posts through official City accounts, 

paper flyers at all City recreation centers and library locations, City Council newsletters, an 

inserts in all August utility bills, and a digital billboard promotion at Craig Ranch Regional Park. 

Staff at libraries and recreation centers were also available to assist residents with completing 

the survey on-site for those without internet access or uncomfortable with technology. The 

survey garnered 791 responses, which were captured, compiled, and analyzed. The results are 

included as Appendix A.

ARPA Town Hall Events

In addition to the survey, public forums were scheduled in late July across all four Wards of the 

City to collect in-person input for the SRFLF investment plan. City staff, the Mayor, and City 

Council members facilitated the community engagement forums. Each city council member 

hosted their forums in their represented wards at recreation centers and libraries, which was 

well received by community members and stakeholders. Community members, organizations, 

and other stakeholders presented their priorities and were encouraged to submit an ARPA 

Town Hall comment card for the City’s records. City Council members and City officials 

responded to each presentation and ensured that residents understood the value of their input. 

Results from these meetings are included as Appendix B.

City Council Meetings

On August 18, 2021 the City included a discussion of SLFRF funding and an update on the 

development of the strategic investment framework on the regular City Council meeting agenda. 

This provided an opportunity for public comment in an open forum, as well as an open 

discussion on the progress of the Recovery Plan. 

Exploratory Meetings

Since the announcement of the City’s SLFRF allocation, a number of community organizations 

and coalitions have met with City officials to express critical recovery needs from their unique 

vantage point. These informal meetings led to the development of the NLVCares Community 

Grant program, a formal vehicle through which these and other organizations will be able to 

develop program-driven solutions for funding consideration. As described in the Use of Funds 

section, the NLVCares Community Grant program will drive resources to community 

organizations on the front lines of recovery efforts, enabling them to execute programs and 

projects in support of populations facing barriers to service, including people of color, people 

with low incomes, limited English proficiency populations, and other traditionally underserved 

groups. 

Feedback from each of these engagement methods revealed the following community priorities 

for SLFRF investment, in descending order:

 Education
City of North Las Vegas 2021 Recovery Plan Performance Report 18

 Economic Development and Job Opportunities

 Housing

 Public Health

 Infrastructure

 Social Justice and Equity

These community priorities led the initial development of the investment strategy and overall 

Recovery Plan; and they will continue to drive the creation and approval of new projects under 

the strategy from both internal and external stakeholders. As part of the recovery process, the 

City will routinely return the community for input on new ideas for implementation as well as to 

measure the success and suggested course changes for ongoing projects.

Labor Practices

Strong labor practices for infrastructure investments are an effective tool for further combating 

the economic fallout caused by the pandemic. The City of North Las Vegas will comply with all 

required local, state, and federal labor laws for construction and infrastructure projects funded 

through SLFRF resources. Art the core of these requirements is Nevada Revised Statute 

(NRS) section 338, which requires the use of prevailing wage, overtime, and utilization of 

apprenticeship in public works projects. 

● Prevailing Wage: Pursuant to NRS 338.020 and Assembly Bill (AB) 136 passed during 

2019 Legislative Ses ion (for Redevelopment Projects the contract amount is $100,000 

NRS 279.500), every contract over $100,000 to which a public body is a party and that 

requires the employment of skilled or unskilled labor in the performance of a public work 

must contain in expressed terms the rate of wages to be paid to each of the classes of 

workmen. The rate wages must not be less than the rate of such wages then prevailing 

in the county in which the public work is located. Prevailing wage rates are published by 

the Office of the Labor Commissioner each-odd numbered year, see NRS sections 

338.025 and 338.030 and Senate Bill (SB) 243 (2019 Legislative Session). These rates 

become effective October 1st. Amendments to those rates are published on an as 

needed basis and in even numbered years based on certain conditions and contain a 

specific effective date. Prevailing wage rates and amendments are posted on the Labor 

Commissioner’s website www.labor.nv.gov. 

● Overtime: Pursuant to the provisions of NRS 338.020, a contractor or subcontractor 

must pay any mechanic or workman 1 1/2 times the applicable prevailing wage rate for 

work performed on a public work over 40-hours in a workweek or 8-hours in any 

workday. Zone Rates are added to the hourly rate, and then overtime is calculated on 

that rate. Premium Pay for work over 8-hours or 12-hours or such other time increment 

set forth in the Collective Bargaining Agreement or on a weekend or holiday.

● Apprenticeship: Nevada’s Apprenticeship Utilization Act requires a contractor or 

subcontractor to use one or more apprentices for at least 10% of the total hours of labor 
City of North Las Vegas 2021 Recovery Plan Performance Report 19

worked for each apprenticed craft for vertical construction and 3% of total hours worked 

for horizontal construction for any public project in which more than three workers are 

employed. 

The requirements of the Nevada Office of the Labor Commissioner’s Public Works Prevailing 

Wage and Apprenticeship Utilization Act Handbook is included in this plan by reference and is 

attached as Appendix C. 

Use of Evidence

The size and scope of the SLFRF recovery investment strategy provides an opportunity for the 

City to gain valuable insight into the efficacy of the various programs and projects being 

implemented. Many of these approaches will have the potential for post-pandemic utility, 

particularly programs within the Small Business Support Hub and NLVCares Community Grant 

program designed to increase equity. In order to capture valuable data and make informed, 

impact-based decisions, North Las Vegas has included a rigorous evidence and evaluation 

component in our recovery framework. 

Addressing Educational Disparities

With a full year of SNUMA under our belt, the program is ready for evaluation. North Las Vegas 

will work with a professional third party evaluator to design and conduct a program evaluation of 

the model to better understand the SNUMA’s strongest attributes and opportunities for 

enhancement. This evaluation will serve two purposes. First, it will provide insight on the 

effectiveness of the program in supporting the goal of narrowing the academic achievement gap 

for North Las Vegas students. Second, it will provide a blueprint for program expansion, if 

necessary, course correction to maximize the impact of SNUMA for our residents. 

Program evaluation will also be a component of charter school incubation activities; specifics on 

both those activities and the evaluation have not yet been fully developed.

Assistance to Workers, Families, and Businesses Impacted by COVID-19

An overarching program evaluation on the Business Hub program to gauge progress toward the 

pilot’s goals and the impact on the small businesses community and City’s economy. The initial 

funding for the Hub will last two years, after which results from the evaluation will determine 

future investment. If the impact is as significant as hoped, this new business support structure 

is a candidate to be a permanent fixture in City Hall and additional funding sources to sustain 

the program will be pursued. 

Evidence-base and evaluation will also be a defining element of the NLVCares Community 

Grant Program. Evidence-based approaches will be weighted on the scoring rubric in the subgrant application process to prioritize the use of solutions with a strong track record of success. 

Additionally, all funded projects will be required to have a third-party program evaluation 

component so that the efficacy of the various approaches can be measured. This will provide 
City of North Las Vegas 2021 Recovery Plan Performance Report 20

valuable data that the City will analyze to identify successful programming to scale up and 

sustain. North Las Vegas is engaging with traditional evaluators (universities, research 

organizations, policy think tanks, etc.) to develop an over-arching evaluation plan for projects 

funded under this initiative. 

Sustaining and Enhancing Government Services

Where applicable, program evaluation will also be included in the provision of government 

services to measure progress toward intended impact. This may include a mix of professional 

third-party and internal evaluation models. 

Water, Sewer, and Broadband Infrastructure 

The City’s Utilities staff will evaluate water infrastructure projects internally to measure progress 

toward intended impact. Any future broadband projects will include an internal or external 

evaluation component, as appropriate. .

The opportunity to collect invaluable data on a wide range of interventions and initiatives is one 

the City must capitalize on. The information, analysis, and evidence-base that results from 

these studies has the potential to inform decision-making not only during the recovery process, 

but for years to come. We look forward in engaging with qualified research partners to capture 

and report out on the results of our investment framework.

4 The city should spend the funds on improving inf rastructure and ensure that parks,

roads, and streets are safe for all residents. Also, the city should be partnering with

vaccinated.

12 Af fordable housing for individuals impacted by covid and lost their homes

13 Help the homeless

15 Take care of the landlords who have lost rental income by tenants leaving while

waiting for CHAP assistance. Once the tenant leaves, before receiving CHAP

assistance, the landlord cannot recoup the lost rent.

21 Most important is Road Inf rastructure. Which includes safer sidewalks. Roads that

do not promote fast driving - Speed Kills.

23 Af fordable housing and education are most important to me.

26 I believe more money should be put into stimulus checks. It all gets circulated back

into the economy so I believe it does our country and mainly our community well

28 Clean up trash throughout the community. Help fund our police so they have all the

people looking to educate themselves in this rapidly changing market place.

49 Help to small businesses

50 Mobile vaccination vehicles. Creating a curbside and/or delivery service for the

Libraries. The curbside could be f ree, but the delivery service would be an extra f ree.

62 We need another community recreation center that supports the 89084 and 89031

communities for children and elderly people. This part of the city has grown quickly

much too far to even considered in my community. We also need restaurants that

70 Give money directly to the people to stimulate the economy

71 This is a challenging questions because so many things need to be set right and also

74 Get people vaccinated.

75 I support creating jobs and skilled workers. I support small businesses who were

84 Change out all non- led bulbs to led ones on street lights. Especially on Camino

Eldorado. More events at the library for school age children

85 Assist business stay in business, in NLV.

87 Some should be allotted to seniors due to the fact of increased prices during covid

ie: shopping on line, deliveries, tips and increase in gas prices. We continued to pay

our mortgage and utilities and bills without receiving over $900 a month for

unemployment and we did not receive any extra in SS. Our children our already

grown so no child tax credits either. Seems the government has forgotten the

seniors.

88 Cost of food for struggling families, the state unemployment system is 2 months

behind on processing claims! Welfare checks on at risk families, domestic abuse and

gun violence. Our streets are f ilthy!

89 Provide each household a specif ied amount regardless of any type of status or

number of occupants.

90 The city of NLV does not f ix neighborhoods and keep kept up. For example, we have

houses that are falling apart, neighborhoods that look like they're falling apart. We

have communities that cater to one culture. Where are all the nice businesses you

see on the other sides of town?

91 Crime - thef t, burglaries, is too high. First priority should be to hire more police.

Then expand inf rastructure in Apex and beyond for more jobs. The resulting

increase in the tax base will allow more funds for other endeavors.

92 Spend it on the youth make sure their needs are being met.

94 Law enforcement as in more police.

95 By funding the "intended services/projects" the relief monies were appropriate for

and not diverting any of it to other things. No political f ingers in the cookie jar!

96 Help the homeless.

97 Tow cars with expired tags/licenses at owner's expense to generate income to

154 Spending to keep working people af loat while the pandemic is still prominent is of

the most importance, which naturally includes small and large businesses. Also,

hammering to the public the importance of getting vaccinated is crucial, to combat

the assumptions caused by vaccine misinformation and distrust that the hesitant

and conspiracy theorists are promoting.

156 In addition to job creation there needs to be job training particularly for hard to f ill

occupations. We need more skilled laborers eg. plumbers, electricians etc. There

needs to be a specif ic focus on the identif ication, recruitment and retention of

members of the BiPOC community.

158 Healthcare.

160 SPEND THE FUNDS IN A WAY THAT WILL NOT DEVELOP A PROGRAM THAT WILL

NEED FUNDING ON A YEAR TO YEAR BASIS.

161 For all the tax money, investments my family has made, etc just send everyone a

check. Individuals can spend it better on what they need more than you can. Yes,

some will buy dumb things like alcohol and drugs, but I'll put new ACs on a rental

property. I'd pay taxes with it. I'd plant a couple more trees. I'd buy more than ramen

at the grocery store. I'd catch up on my water bill. I don't need better roads because

I can't af ford to drive on them. More stem...I have a PhD in Chemistry and there is no

job in town which my skills are useful. Why are houses 300k? Really, the money is

great, but what's $50M gonna do? Pave 50 miles of road? It does nothing and the

things it should be spent on will never be prioritized by a politician.

162 Provide preschool starting at age 3 full day. Not only will this provide f ree child

care, child who attend preschool are at a signif icantly lower risk of dropping out of

school and perform at higher rates then children who receive no preschool. This will

help close the gap between the dif ferent socioeconomic status' of many low and

high income families.

163 Property taxes should be lowered temporarily to help f inancially. Road construction

takes too much time and is incredibly unorganized. Seems like a lot of time to

complete pretty simple tasks! With a machine to take up the old pavement and a

machine that follows right behind it laying the asphalt....roads should be replaced

rather quickly with less costs and less traf f ic issues.

430 Water conservation, hire more police

431 It is my opinion that the CNLV should somehow use these funds to improve and

expand access to healthcare facilities. There aren't very many chooses back toward

the 215/ North 5th. In fact money should be spend toward improving the 215/ North

5th corridor. For this street to link directly to Las Vegas Blvd., it doesn't of fer much

in the way of development, unless you are looking for a storage facility. The

shopping (food, clothing, etc) is tragic. Most people on this neighborhood have to

travel to Centennial Hills to do any shopping. We don't have enough grocery

markets, healthy sit down eating restaurants, and parks nearby. Every time

something new gets built nearby its, a fast food restaurant. What's up with that?

Why are there's no dine in health restaurants (like Panera, Corner Bakery, etc.) Our

closet city park, Tropical Breeze is in deplorable conditions. It's not been well

maintained. It needs to be improved and a new park needs to be somewhere on

North 5th. We also need a poli

432 park structures in the public parks; basket ball hoops and courts, jungle gyms, bike

and walking paths , slides etc. Raise the bar on teachers who are hired with

background checks so we don't have teachers who are still learning to teach

teaching our kids.

434 A program should be implemented to house the many displaced families that are

sure to be in the streets when the eviction moratorium ends. No one asked for this,

yet we live and deal with it daily. Within that program, jobs should be

created/of fered that coincide with your housing. More organization, less chaos.

tremendously help the businesses owned by the minority-, women-, veteran-,

440 While there are many areas that need assistance, the one I am most concerned

about is education. Especially special education. There are not enough resources to

adequately give special needs children the help that they need.

441 I don't believe it should be another government hand out. People all over America

have been getting rent assistance and are still calling for rent to be abolished. They

don't understand the property owner still has to make a payment. We can't just live

for f ree. I've been fortunate because I have a military pension. I haven't received a

of our former clients planning to run their events again in the fall and winter, so I

look forward to becoming a self -sustaining business again in the near future.

However, any contracts I secure will be coming in with cancellation clauses that will

negate the services if another covid wave prevents signif icant numbers of people to

291 I have lived here for seventeen years. I have watched many beloved businesses shut

their doors for the f inal time due to government ordered lockdowns and

restrictions. And now we are very realistically facing them again. This is madness.

You cannot keep strangling small businesses and expect the state to keep

functioning of f of whatever tax revenue the casinos happen to pull in. This is

especially true when these same taxes are what fund our social programs that

were desperately needed during the pandemic, such as unemployment, and are still

needed now. If any future restrictions are passed down on businesses, the

government must also provide funds to compensate their losses so that they can

survive. This survival thus insures that tax revenue can continue, even if temporarily

limited, rather than losing it entirely and allowing the state social programs to keep

af loat those that need it.

addition and subtraction is a thing of the pass. Learning should be fun. Homework

for an elementary student shouldnt take more than 30 minutes to a hour to

complete. We need educators who are compassionate and have patience. This city

receives millions of dollar in revenue daily, yet our education ranks amongst the

lowest.

399 Don't take any funds for the sake of just taking them.

400 We do need STEM scholars, but our society also needs "worker bees." Those laborers

like carpenters, auto technicians and plumbers. Much emphasis is placed on high tech

and science ed, but I'm not going to be calling an astrophysicist when my car stops

on the highway, my plumbing backs up into my bedroom or a lamp shorts out starts

a f ire. Don't leave out tradespeople and laborers f rom the education spectrum.

403 Small business suf fer due to Covid-19 pandemic along with hourly wage increases.

They constantly are bombarded with permits, bonds, licensing, taxes, increased

utilities and rent. Would love to be able to af ford our employees more benef its.

404 When is NLV going to f ix the street Allen f rom Craig rd to Cheyenne? This road has

increased traf f ic and the street markings are poorly designed with no signs to warn

drivers the lanes are ending. This is ridiculous.

405 Would also like to add give the money to the people and not the food banks to get

food. So they can shop on there own. We were supposed to be covered until

September for the Pandemic benef its they got cut early now these babies are going

back to school. Use the money and be ef fective. In this modern day society food

banks should not even exist! With the line standing, people are handicapped have to

go through questions to get food for there family. Having to give personal info Fix

the hunger problem. And f ix the homeless bum problem!

406 I ranked water/sewer inf rastructure low as I believe there is already taxes and

income to handle that. But in the very near future we need to have serious talks

with the SNWA to f igure out how this community can handle the growth with the

shrinking water supply. Where are the water restrictions as currently they aren't

that painful. We need to get more creative in ways to conserve and use our water

better. And f ind more of it.

407 No

408 We can all come together to love care and respect each other developing more

humanity through awareness of knowing that our technology far surpassed our

opportunity to make our city brighter for the future.

420 Demand that existing and new development housing and parkways cut back on all

the plants that have been planted inexcess. In case you haven't noticed this west in

430 No

431 Keep North 5th/215 area in mind when all is said and done. We need better access to

places. I know the 215 is literally adjacent and could take many people all around

the valley, but this is not the case for those with no transportation. There's no

grocery store or healthy places to eat within walking distance, and that's a shame.

This area only of fers it's residents fast food, and whatever shelf items your can

pick up at Target. Many of the residents on this side would love to have a grocery

store in the Target parking lot, as well as better restaurant options. Please

remember this area! And Fund the Police!

434 Long standing small businesses(5years+) should have access to funds in order to

assist with economic recovery in our community as well. If a company can outline

and demonstrate how they will assist the community recover and put that plan into

action, they should be able to. Distribution of federal funds into small businesses

willing to help in our community will ease the pain by providing jobs(payroll),

assisting with the community's needs(housing, food, utilities, educational programs,

job sourcing, etc) and give small dying businesses a purpose again and way to provide

for their families as well.

hours to obtain a dose of medication they shouldn't have missed in the f irst place)

686 Integrate the "Whites and the Blacks" more. Get rid of neighborhoods where the big

majority of "whites" reside in and get rid of sections / areas of town where all the

minority's live (Mexicans, Blacks and poor) and mix everyone (all nationalities) up so

that the blacks next door neighbor is white and his next door neighbor is American

Indian and his neighbor next to him was ummm? Asian? My point is... to get children

to grow up living with a big melting pot of dif ferent nationalities next door to them

so they are forced to play and be nice to each other and before you know it. They

see less of skin color and more in Accepting individuals as a person who deserves a

687 Clean up the entrance to NLV at LV Blvd. Tent people keep skulking around and

scaring our children. People do not feel safe with so many street people all over

NLV. Use the money to get police or civilian patrols to keep them back in Las Vegas

 The rate of wages must not be less than the rate of such wages then prevailing in the county in 

 which the public work is located. Unlike prevailing wage requirements under Federal law (Davis- 

 Bacon) and requirements in many states that surround Nevada, Nevada’s prevailing wage 

 requirements may be met by providing a combination of wages and permissible bona fide fringe 

 benefits to the mechanic or workman that are paid on a frequent basis, such as monthly.

 WAGES DEFINED (NRS 338.020(25) – “Wages” means:

 (a) The basic hourly rate of pay; and

 (b) The amount of pension, health and welfare, vacation and holiday pay, the cost of 

 apprenticeship training or other bona fide fringe benefits which are a benefit to the worker.

 Assembly Bill 136, passed during the 2019 Legislative Session, eliminates the 90% 

Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) and School Construction Rate – effective 

July 1, 2019. 

e. Prevailing wage rates are published by the Office of the Labor Commissioner each-odd 

numbered year, see NRS sections 338.025 and 338.030 and Senate Bill (SB) 243 (2019 

Legislative Session). These rates become effective October 1st. Amendments to those rates 

are published on an as needed basis and in even numbered years based on certain conditions

and contain a specific effective date. Prevailing wage rates and amendments are posted on the 

Labor Commissioner’s website www.labor.nv.gov

Page 2 of 29
f. EXCEPTIONS TO THE APPLICABILITY OF THE PREVAILING WAGE RATE:

 Contracts awarded pursuant to the provisions of NRS Chapter 332 or 333 which are 

directly related to the normal operation of the public body or the normal maintenance of 

its property. (See NRS 338.011(1)) Please See Bombardier Case (135 Nev., Advance 

Opinion 3)

http://labor.nv.gov/uploadedFiles/labornvgov/content/PrevailingWage/135%20Nev.%20Advan

ce%20Opinion%203%20%201.17.19%20(3).pdf

 Contracts awarded to meet an emergency which threaten the health, safety or welfare 

of the public. (See NRS 338.011(2)) 

 Any contract for a public work whose costs is less than $100,000.00. (Remember, a unit 

of a project may not be separated from the total cost to lower the total costs of the project 

below $100,000.00.) (See NRS 338.080) 

 Apprentices recorded/registered under the provisions of NRS Chapter 610. (See NRS 

338.080) 

 Any work performed by or for any railroad company. (See NRS 338.080)

 Design professionals as defined under NRS 338.010(8). 

g. OVERTIME (see NRS 338.020). 

1. Pursuant to the provisions of NRS 338.020, a contractor or subcontractor must pay any 

mechanic or workman 1 1/2 times the applicable prevailing wage rate for work performed on a 

public work over 40-hours in a workweek or 8-hours in any workday. Zone Rates are added to 

the hourly rate, and then overtime is calculated on that rate. 

Premium Pay for work over 8-hours or 12-hours or such other time increment set forth in the 

Collective Bargaining Agreement or on a weekend or holiday. (See NRS 338.030) 

2. An exception to the daily overtime rule may apply when, by mutual agreement, a mechanic or 

workman works a scheduled 10-hours per day for 4 calendar days (4/10’s) within a scheduled 

week of work. The 4/10 schedule should be strictly adhered followed or overtime may 

become due. When working on multiple projects during a shift, the overtime rate is calculated 

using the rate of pay for work being performed when overtime becomes due. (See Advisory 

Opinion AO 2013-04) A O 4 Day 10 Hour Shifts (revised).pdf (nv.gov)

h. BENEFITS 

While under Nevada law, part of an employer’s/contractor’s obligation for the payment of the 

applicable Prevailing Wage rate may be discharged by providing certain bona fide fringe benefits 

for the employee. It is important to note that the employer/contractor must make that 

contribution to a third person pursuant to a fund, plan or program in the name of the workman. 

Unless such contributions leave the employer/contractor and are received by the third person 

administrator in the name of the workman, there can be no discharge of any obligation. (See 

NRS 338.035)

Page 3 of 29
“Bona fide fringe benefit” means a benefit in the form of a contribution that is made not less 

frequently than monthly to an independent third party pursuant to a fund, plan or program: (a) 

Which is established for the sole and exclusive benefit of a worker and his or her family and 

dependents; and (b) For which none of the assets will revert to, or otherwise be credited to, any 

contributing employer or sponsor of the fund, plan or program. The term includes, without 

limitation, benefits for a worker that are determined pursuant to a collective bargaining 

agreement and included in the determination of the prevailing wage by the Labor 

Commissioner pursuant to NRS 338.030. (See NRS 338.035) 

i. THINGS TO REMEMBER:

1. Salaried employees must be paid the applicable Prevailing Wage rate for the work they 

 perform on a prevailing wage job site. They must be paid the applicable rate of wages for the 

classification of work performed. There is no “salaried employee” exception for any workman

under NRS 338.

2. Owners (and their family members) must be paid the applicable prevailing wage rate for the 

 work they perform on a prevailing wage job site. They must be paid the applicable rate of 

 wages for the classification of work performed. There is no “owner” exception for any 

 workman under NRS 338. (See Advisory Opinion AO 2015-06) 

http://labor.nv.gov/uploadedFiles/labornvgov/content/About/AO%20OWNER%20OPERATORS%20AO%

202015%2006.pdf

3. Where there is a combination of federal and state funding on a public work project, the 

Federal Davis-Bacon rules/laws may apply, or the Prevailing Wage laws of the State of Nevada 

may apply if a Public Body maintains oversight of such a project. Under such circumstances, the 

State of Nevada and the Federal government have “concurrent jurisdiction” about enforcing 

Federal and state requirements. As a result, Awarding/Public Bodies must ensure that all 

contractors and subcontractors on such projects comply with both Federal and state 

requirements, and state requirements may be enforced if stricter or the state wages are higher. 

 j. APPRENTICESHIP UTILIZATION ACT – NRS 338.01165

 https://labor.nv.gov/Apprenticeship_Utilization_Act/Apprenticeship_Utilization_Act/

NRS 338.01165 Requirements relating to use of apprentices on public works; modification 

or waiver of requirements; apprenticeship agreement; regulations. [Effective January 1, 2020.]

 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter and except as otherwise provided 

in this section, a contractor or subcontractor engaged in vertical construction who employs a 

worker on a public work pursuant to NRS 338.040 shall use one or more apprentices for at 

least 10 percent of the total hours of labor worked for each apprenticed craft or type of work to

 6. A public body may, upon the request of a contractor or subcontractor, submit a 

request to the Labor Commissioner to modify or waive the percentage of hours of labor 

provided by one or more apprentices required pursuant to subsection 1 or 2 for good cause. A 

public body must submit such a request, before an advertisement for bids has been placed, 

the opening of bids or the award of a contract for a public work or after the public body has 

commenced work on the public work. Such a request must include any supporting 

documentation, including, without limitation, proof of denial of or failure to approve a request 

for apprentices pursuant to subparagraph (3) of paragraph (d) of subsection 10.

 7. The Labor Commissioner shall issue a determination of whether to grant a

 8. A public body, contractor or subcontractor may request a hearing on the 

determination of the Labor Commissioner within 10 days after receipt of the determination of 

the Labor Commissioner. The hearing must be conducted in accordance with regulations 

adopted by the Labor Commissioner. If the Labor Commissioner does not receive a request 

for a hearing pursuant to this subsection, the determination of the Labor Commissioner is a 

final decision for the purposes of judicial review pursuant to chapter 233B of NRS.

 9. A contractor or subcontractor engaged on a public work shall enter into an 

apprenticeship agreement for all apprentices required to be used in the construction of a 

public work. If the Labor Commissioner granted a modification or waiver pursuant to 

subsection 7 because the Labor Commissioner finds that a request for apprentices was 

denied or the request was not approved within 5 business days as described in subparagraph 

(3) of paragraph (d) of subsection 10 and apprentices are later provided, then the contractor 

or subcontractor shall enter into an apprenticeship agreement for all apprentices later 

provided.

 10. As used in this section:

 (a) “Apprentice” means a person enrolled in an apprenticeship program recognized by 

the State Apprenticeship Council.

 (b) “Apprenticed craft or type of work” means a craft or type of work for which there is an 

existing apprenticeship program recognized by the State Apprenticeship Council.

Apprenticeship Council.

 (d) “Good cause” means:

 (1) There are no apprentices available from an apprenticeship program within the 

jurisdiction where the public work is to be completed as recognized by the State 

Apprenticeship Council;

Page 5 of 29
 (2) The contractor or subcontractor is required to perform uniquely complex or 

hazardous tasks on the public work that require the skill and expertise of a greater percentage 

of journeymen; or

 (3) The contractor or subcontractor has requested apprentices from an 

apprenticeship program and the request has been denied or the request has not been 

approved within 5 business days.

Ê The term does not include the refusal of a contractor or subcontractor to enter into an 

apprenticeship agreement pursuant to subsection 9.

 (e) “Journeyman” has the meaning ascribed to it in NRS 624.260. 

 (f) “State Apprenticeship Council” means the State Apprenticeship Council created 

by NRS 610.030. 

 (Added to NRS by 2019, 3154, effective January 1, 2020)

Horizontal Construction NRS 338.010 - Subdivision 13.

“Horizontal construction” means any construction, alteration, repair, renovation, demolition or 

remodeling necessary to complete a public work, including , without limitation, any irrigation, 

drainage, water supply, flood control, harbor, railroad, highway, tunnel, airport or airway, sewer, 

sewage disposal plant or water treatment facility and any ancillary vertical components thereof, 

bridge, inland waterway, pipeline for the transmission of petroleum or any other liquid or 

gaseous substance, pier, and any other work incidental thereto. The term does not include 

vertical construction, the construction of any terminal or other building of an airport or airway, 

or the construction of any other building. 

Vertical Construction NRS 338.010 – Subdivision 24.

“Vertical construction” means any construction, alteration, repair, renovation, demolition or 

remodeling necessary to complete a public work for any building, structure or other 

improvement that is predominantly vertical, including, without limitation, a building, structure or 

improvement for the support, shelter and enclosure of persons, animals, chattels or movable 

property of any kind, and any other work or improvement appurtenant thereto.

For a public works project over $100,000, the Apprenticeship Utilization Act – Nevada Revised 

Statutes (NRS) section 338.01165, would be triggered when there were more than 3 workers 

employed for each apprenticed craft or type of work to be performed on the public works project. 

NRS section 338.01165 does specify that for Horizontal Construction, if there are more than 3 

workers employed for each apprenticed craft or type of work performed, then 3% of the total 

hours for that apprenticed craft or type of work performed must be worked by an apprentice. 

For Vertical Construction, it is 10% of the total hours for that apprenticed craft or type of work 

performed that must be worked by an apprentice.

The Office of the Labor Commissioner/Labor Commissioner (OLC/LC) has interpreted the plain 

language of NRS section 338.01165 in connection with the legislative history and intent to mean 

that there must be more than 3 employees/workers employed on the public works project/work 

site at any one time and/or the same time for each apprenticed craft or type of work performed 

to trigger the requirements of NRS section 338.01165. In other words, there must be a “crew” 

of more than 3 employees/workers for each apprenticed craft or type of work performed on the 

public works project/work site at the same time for the requirements of NRS section 338.01165 

to apply. This could include a crew of more than 3 employee/workers of an apprenticed craft 

or type of work performed present at the same time on the project/work site for only 1 full day 

of work. The OLC/LC would also look to the potential rotation of crews to avoid the 

requirements of NRS section 338.01165.

 k. NEVADA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE (NAC) 338 REGULATIONS EFFECTIVE JUNE 5, 2020

 The Legislative Commission of the Nevada Legislature approved new NAC 338 regulations on 

 June 5, 2020. While not codified yet, they are effective June 5, 2020. 

 Adopted Regulation of the Labor Commissioner LCB File No. R018-18 (nv.gov)

III. GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE AWARDING BODY: 

a. REPORTS TO THE LABOR COMMISSIONER: Each of the following forms can be obtained 

 from our website at www.labor.nv.gov. 

 

b. REQUEST FOR PUBLIC WORKS IDENTIFYING NUMBER (PWP NUMBER) referred to 

throughout NRS 338 as Identifying Number. (See NRS 338.013) The number is to be requested 

at the time the public body decides to undertake a public work. The public body is responsible 

for making the request from the Labor Commissioner. 

The PWP Number may also be directly requested via the link below:

https://nlc.i-sight.com/external/PWP/new

1. The PWP Number is to be included in any advertisement or other type of solicitation, and the 

number must be included in any bid or other document submitted in response to the 

advertisement or other type of solicitation. Because of this, the awarding body is advised to 

request the number at the time it decides to undertake the public work. This should allow ample 

time for processing and issuing of the number by the Labor Commissioner. Try avoiding last 

minute requests, i.e., the day or two before the public work is to be advertised. 

Do not confuse the PWP Number with other numbers that are often used on a project. For 

example, the contractor or public body may use a number it has assigned to the project for its 

own purposes. The Public Work Project Number issued by the Labor Commissioner looks like 

this: CC–2013–123 

Advertise and bid the project based on the correct prevailing wage amount and rate. 

2. Only one PWP Number should exist for each public work. The first two letters of the number 

represent the county in which the project is to be located. If the project is in multiple counties it 

will begin with Multi, for example: 

Multi–2013–123

Each public body which awards a contract for any public work shall report its award to the Labor 

Commissioner within 10-days after the award, giving the name and address of the contractor 

to whom the public body awarded the contract and the identifying number for the public work. 

Public bodies failing to provide this information in a timely manner may be subject to 

administrative fine up to $5,000.00 by the Labor Commissioner. (See NRS 338.015)

 f. NOTICE OF COMPLETION FOR PUBLIC WORKS PROJECT

The public body which awarded the contract shall report the completion of all work performed 

under the contract to the Labor Commissioner before the final payment is due to the contractor

by the public body. (Emphasis added). Public bodies failing to provide this information in a

 h. RETENTION: The awarding/public body should hold retention on the project and not close

 out/complete a project or submit a Notice of Completion on the project until the awarding/public 

 body verifies compliance with NRS 338 and NAC 338 and NRS 338.01165 – Apprenticeship 

 Utilization Act and confirms there are no pending wage claims and/or complaints. 

IV. REPORTING OF SUBCONTRACTORS:

Each contractor engaged on a public work shall report to the Labor Commissioner and the 

public body that awarded the contract the name and address of each subcontractor whom the 

contractor engages for work on the project within 10-days after the subcontractor commences 

work on the contract. There is a form for reporting subcontractors to the Labor Commissioner 

it can be obtained from our website. Include on all reports the PWP Number for the public work.

(See NRS 338.013) Failure to provide this information in a timely manner may be cause for the 

imposition of administrative penalties or disqualification pursuant to NRS sections 338.015 and 

338.017. 

V. RECEIPT OF CERTIFIED PAYROLL REPORTS: 

a. WHAT IS A CERTIFIED PAYROLL REPORT/RECORD (CPR)? (See NRS 338.070; NAC 

338.0056 and NAC 338.092-338.100) - The certified payroll report is a monthly record. It may 

be made up of two or more payroll reports, i.e., a contractor may pay its workers weekly and 

submit weekly certified payroll reports. 

Each report may be submitted electronically on a form prescribed by the Labor Commissioner 

or in a format selected by the contractor or subcontractor that meets the requirements of the 

Labor Commissioner’s form and provides the required information. Each report must be 

accompanied by a statement of compliance, on a form prescribed by the Labor Commissioner, 

and executed by the contractor or subcontractor which certifies the truthfulness and accuracy 

of the payroll report. 

Senate Bill 231 passed during the 2019 Legislative Session allowed the Labor Commissioner 

to enact regulations for electronic reporting of CPR’s. (See NAC 338.092-NAC 338.100)

*So long as the CPR(s) contain the required information pursuant to NAC 338.094 or the 

information required by the Labor Commissioner’s CPR form and are submitted timely, 

compliance will be presumed. Awarding Bodies shall not place special requirements 

such as arbitrary due dates, logos, or other special criteria on CPR reporting.

b. SUBMISSION OF CERTIFIED PAYROLL REPORT

The contractor engaged on the public work or subcontractor engaged on the public work shall 

ensure that a complete copy of the monthly certified payroll report/record is received by the 

public body awarding the contract no later than 15 days after the end of the month. (See NRS 

338.070) 

A subcontractor may submit to the prime contractor, for submission to the public body, a copy 

of the record no later than the later of ten days after the end of the month; or a date agreed 

upon by the contractor and subcontractor. Nothing prohibits a subcontractor from submitting a 

Page 11 of 29
copy of a certified payroll record for a calendar month directly to the public body by the 15th of 

the following month in which the reported workers were paid. Workers must be paid in 

accordance with the provisions of NRS 608.060 and NRS 608.070. These statutes state that 

employees must be paid at least twice a month and that agreements to deviate from the pay 

schedule can be made between the two parties if it is beneficial for both parties and the 

employee is not required by the employer to enter into the agreement.

It is the responsibility of the contractor or subcontractor to submit the monthly certified payroll 

record to the awarding/public body. Do not submit certified payroll reports to the Labor 

Commissioner unless requested by the Labor Commissioner’s office. It is the responsibility of 

the public body to ensure that these reports are received timely. An awarding body shall cause 

to be affixed to each certified payroll report or nonperformance payroll report that the awarding 

body receives the actual date on which the awarding body received the certified payroll report 

or nonperformance payroll report. (See NAC 338.100) 

If a contractor or subcontractor engaged on a public work does not employ any workers for 3 

consecutive calendar months on the public work, the Labor Commissioner or the awarding body 

may, as determined is in the best interest of the State, request that the contractor or 

subcontractor submit a final nonperformance payroll report or other documentation 

demonstrating that the contractor or subcontractor has completed all the work on the public 

work for which the contractor or subcontractor was engaged. (See NAC 338.098)

c. LATE SUBMISSION

It makes no difference who submitted the certified payroll late. If the certified payroll is submitted 

late, it can result in a forfeiture being assessed pursuant to NRS 338.060(3). The forfeiture goes 

to the awarding body and is withheld from funds due the prime contractor. If the late payroll 

record is one belonging to a subcontractor, the prime contractor may have a remedy available 

to it under NRS 338.070. 

d. NON-PERFORMANCE 

For each month after the contractor or subcontractor commences working on the public work 

in which the contractor or subcontractor does not employ any workers in connection with the 

public work, the contractor or subcontractor shall, in lieu of submitting a certified payroll record 

for that month, submit to the awarding body a nonperformance payroll report certifying that the 

contractor or subcontractor did not employ any workers on the public work during that month.

(See NAC 338.098) 

A nonperformance payroll report must be completed on a form prescribed by the Labor 

Commissioner and must be submitted to the awarding body no later than 15 days after the end 

of a month in which the contractor or subcontractor did not employ any workers on the public 

work. (See NAC 338.098)

If a contractor or subcontractor engaged on a public work does not employ any workers for 3 

consecutive calendar months on the public work, the Labor Commissioner or the awarding body 

may, as determined is in the best interest of the State, request that the contractor or 

subcontractor submit a final nonperformance payroll report or other documentation 

demonstrating that the contractor or subcontractor has completed all the work on the public 

work for which the contractor or subcontractor was engaged. (See NAC 338.098)

Page 12 of 29
e. DATE STAMP

The public body shall cause to be affixed to each certified payroll report or nonperformance 

payroll report that the awarding body receives the actual date on which the awarding body 

received the certified payroll report or nonperformance payroll report. (See NAC 338.100) 

f. WHAT NEEDS TO BE REPORTED and CERTIFIED?

1. THE NAME OF EACH WORKER. 

2. THE CLASSIFICATION PERFORMED BY EACH WORKER. The classification is based on 

the type of work actually performed by the worker. Do not rely on titles such as supervisor, 

assistant, lead man, helper, HVAC, or other terms not included in the Nevada wage 

determination. The classification listed on a report must be in accordance with the recognized 

classes of workers, i.e., match an existing classification given the type of work actually 

performed. (See NRS 338.020) 

3. EACH REPORT MUST INCLUDE THE NUMBER OF HOURS WORKED BY EACH 

WORKER PER DAY ON THE PUBLIC WORK. The report must not include any hours of work 

performed by the workers on another public work or private project. The hours multiplied by the 

rate of pay should match the gross wages paid for this job only because, the contractor or 

subcontractor is certifying what is paid for that worker for that project which is being reported 

on. If the worker is performing work on multiple prevailing wage projects, individual certified 

payroll reports/records for those other projects must be submitted. (See NAC 338.094) 

g. APPRENTICES: When a contractor or subcontractor first lists an apprentice on a certified 

 payroll report they must submit with that certified payroll report documentation to 

substantiate that the apprentice is registered with the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training of 

the Office of Apprenticeship, Training, Employer and Labor Services of the Employment and 

Training Administration of the United States Department of Labor or its successor and the State 

Apprenticeship Council. (Emphasis added). A properly enrolled and registered apprentice is 

exempt from NRS 338.020 to NRS 338.090, inclusive. An apprentice is paid pursuant to the 

terms of the apprenticeship agreement/standards for the type of work covered by 

apprenticeship standards. (See NRS 338.080)

Apprenticeship Ratio: Be sure to review the apprenticeship standards to see if they provide for 

a ratio of apprentices to journeymen. It the ratio is not complied with the apprentice is to be paid 

at full journeyman rate for the type of work performed. (See NAC 338.0095). 

Compliance with NRS section 338.01165 – Apprenticeship Utilization Act (Passed during 2019 

Legislative Session) – Ensure the reporting of Apprentices complies with NRS 338.01165

unless a Waiver has been granted by the Labor Commissioner. Apprentices shall be used and 

reported for at least 10 % of the total hours on vertical construction and 3 % of the total hours 

for horizontal construction of the total hours of labor worked for each apprenticed craft or type 

of work to be performed on the public work when more than three employees of each a craft 

are employed at the site of work. 

APPRENTICESHIP UTILIZATION ACT INFORMATION

https://labor.nv.gov/Apprenticeship_Utilization_Act/Apprenticeship_Utilization_Act/

Page 13 of 29
h. BENEFITS: If the contractor or subcontractor makes contributions as authorized by NRS 

338.035 and if any such contributions were made as part of the wages of that worker, an 

itemization of the contributions must be reported on the certified payroll report. The itemization 

should be indicated as a dollar per hour amount, rather than a lump sum. That dollar amount is 

to be paid for each hour worked including for each hour of overtime worked, however, the 

overtime rate of time and one-half does not apply.

“Bona fide fringe benefit” means a benefit in the form of a contribution that is made not less 

frequently than monthly to an independent third party pursuant to a fund, plan or program: (a) 

Which is established for the sole and exclusive benefit of a worker and his or her family and 

dependents; and (b) For which none of the assets will revert to, or otherwise be credited to, any 

contributing employer or sponsor of the fund, plan or program. The term includes, without 

limitation, benefits for a worker that are determined pursuant to a collective bargaining 

agreement and included in the determination of the prevailing wage by the Labor 

Commissioner pursuant to NRS 338.030. (See NRS 338.035 and Assembly Bill 190 passed 

during 2019 Legislative Session) 

https://www.leg.state.nv.us/App/NELIS/REL/80th2019/Bill/6293/Text

A contractor or subcontractor may, discharge any part of his or her obligation to pay wages in 

accordance with the determination of the Labor Commissioner only to the extent that the bona 

fide fringe benefits provided in the name of the worker are annualized. A contractor or 

subcontractor who, discharges any part of his or her obligation to pay wages in accordance 

with the determination of the Labor Commissioner shall provide to the Labor Commissioner and 

the public body that awarded the contract for the public work any information requested by the 

Labor Commissioner or the public body, as applicable, to verify compliance with this section.

(See NRS 338.035) 

“Annualized” means an amount paid equally for all hours worked in a calendar year by the 

worker for the contractor or subcontractor who is providing bona fide fringe benefits. 

“Defined contribution plan” has the meaning ascribed to it in 29 U.S.C. § 1002(34).

http://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?path=/prelim@title29/chapter18&edition=prelim

The provisions of NRS sections 338.030 and 338.035 and AB 190 relating to the reporting of 

annualized bona fide fringe benefits do not apply with regard to: (a) A worker whose benefits 

are determined pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement; or (b) Contributions made in the 

name of the worker by a contractor or subcontractor to a defined contribution plan to the extent 

that the amount contributed does not exceed 25 percent of the hourly prevailing rate of wages 

for the worker on the public work.

https://www.leg.state.nv.us/App/NELIS/REL/80th2019/Bill/6293/Text

i. IDENTIFICATION OF WORKERS

Each contractor and subcontractor engaged on a public work shall keep or cause to be kept an 

accurate record showing, for each worker, the name of the worker, the occupation of the worker, 

if the worker has a driver’s license or identification card, and an indication of the state or other 

jurisdiction that issued the license or card. The above information must be included on the 

certified payroll record. (See NRS 338.070) 

Page 14 of 29
An additional record, that is confidential, must be maintained that shows for each worker 

employed in connection with the public work, which has a driver’s license or identification card, 

the name of the worker; the driver’s license number or identification card number of the worker,

and the state or other jurisdiction that issued the license or card. To the extent that social 

security numbers are still being used, it is recommended that only the last four digits be used. 

(See NRS 338.0117) 

j. PUBLIC BODY’S RIGHT TO OBTAIN RECORDS: A contractor or subcontractor engaged on 

a public work shall provide to the public body payroll records and any other records deemed 

necessary to verify the accuracy of information contained in any certified payroll report. This 

information is to be provided upon the request of the public body. The contractor and any 

subcontractor engaged on the public work will maintain and make available for inspection within 

this State his or her records concerning payroll relating to the public work. (See NRS 338.070; 

NAC 338.094) 

 k. RECORDS OPEN TO INSPECTION: If the awarding body uses an electronic system for 

submission of payroll reports by contractors and subcontractors, the awarding body shall make 

the payroll reports and payroll records it has received pursuant to NRS 338.070 and NAC 

338.092, 338.094 and 338.096 available electronically to the Labor Commissioner and the 

public as soon as practicable after they are received by the awarding body. (See NAC 338.098)

VI. REVIEW OF CERTIFIED PAYROLL REPORTS/RECORDS: 

a. OBLIGATION OF PUBLIC BODY TO REVIEW: Any public body awarding a contract shall 

investigate possible violations of the provisions of NRS 338.010 to NRS 338.090, inclusive, and 

NAC 338. 005 to NAC 338.125, inclusive, committed during the execution of the contract. They 

must also determine whether a violation has been committed and inform the Labor 

Commissioner of any such violations. (See NRS 338.070) 

***Determinations for late Certified Payroll Reports/Records where the Awarding Body

is waiving the forfeiture, reversing a Determination, and/or there is no Objection should 

not be sent to the Office of the Labor Commissioner. If there is an Objection or other 

justification for sending to the Office of the Labor Commissioner, it is recommended that 

the Awarding Body contact the Office of the Labor Commissioner to discuss. (See NAC 

338.096)

b. TIMELINESS: The monthly report/record, which will consist of two or more reports/records, 

needs to be received by the awarding body by the 15th of the following month in which the 

workers are paid. 

c. DATE STAMP: The public body awarding the public work is required to date stamp each 

report/record with the date that the report is received by the awarding body. This date stamp is 

needed as a means for the awarding body to identify when the report/record was received. The 

awarding body can then investigate for violations and issue determinations. If it is determined 

a violation occurred due to late filing, forfeitures must be calculated by the awarding body by 

way of a determination. The assessment of forfeitures can deter future late filing of certified 

payroll reports/records. (See NRS 338.060; NAC 338.100) 

Page 15 of 29
d. WHAT TO EXAMINE: Examination of the certified payroll reports/records are to be made at 

reasonable times to ensure compliance with the provisions of NRS 338.010 to NRS 338.090, 

inclusive, and NAC 338. 005 to NAC 338.125, inclusive. Such an examination should include 

such items as follows:

All workers performing work on-site are to be reported on the certified payroll report/record

based on the following: (1) The type of work actually performed by the worker; (2) The number 

of hours worked per worker per day on this project only; and (3) The work and pay reported are 

in accordance with the recognized classes of workers. The certified payroll report/record must 

not include any hours of work performed by the workers on another public work or private 

project. (See NAC 338.094) 

1. COMPLETENESS AND ACCURACY:

Each report/record must supply adequate information as follows:

• Identify the project

• The period of time for which the report/record was submitted

• The public body that is to receive the report/record

• A brief description of the project

• The PWP Number

• The prime contractor or subcontractor for whom the workers have been reported

• The name of the prime contractor awarded the project

• The name of each on-site worker

• Apprentices and apprentice verification

• The days and hours worked

• The classification worked for each hour

• The rate paid for each hour

• The total hours worked on the project

• The gross pay for the period on this project only

• The net paid

• Itemization of contributions pursuant to NRS 338.035. 

Any payroll report/record submitted should be sufficiently complete and accurate so that anyone 

who reviews the certified payroll report/record can determine whether: (1) Each worker has 

been paid the appropriate rate for the classification worked; (2) Paid for all hours worked; and

(3) To ensure overtime is paid correctly when it applies.

Make sure that the reported classifications are in accordance with the jurisdictional classes 

recognized in the locality where the work is performed. This means each classification listed 

must be a classification listed in the Nevada prevailing wage determination that applies to the 

project. For example, there are no classifications such as a lead man, HVAC repair person, 

tractor operator, carpenter helper, or electrician assistant. 

Page 16 of 29
2. CHECK TO SEE IF THE WORKER IS PAID THE REQUIRED PREVAILING RATE: 

Every public work contract must contain, in express terms, the rate of wages to be paid to each 

of the classes of mechanics and workers. The applicable prevailing wage rates must be posted 

on the site of the public work in a place generally visible to the workers. (See NRS 338.020) 

If the rates that are posted or that are contained in the contract are incorrect, it does not mean 

the incorrect rates apply. Mistakes do not change the duty to pay in compliance with Nevada 

law. If both Federal Davis Bacon rates and Nevada prevailing rates apply to a project, typically

the greater of the two rates is to be paid. However, Nevada does not enforce Federal Davis 

Bacon rates. The Office of the Labor Commissioner can only enforce the portion of the rates 

that apply under Nevada law.

 3. “BONA FIDE FRINGE BENEFIT” means a benefit in the form of a contribution that is 

made not less frequently than monthly to an independent third party pursuant to a fund, plan or 

program: (a) Which is established for the sole and exclusive benefit of a worker and his or her 

family and dependents; and (b) For which none of the assets will revert to, or otherwise be 

credited to, any contributing employer or sponsor of the fund, plan or program. The term 

includes, without limitation, benefits for a worker that are determined pursuant to a collective 

bargaining agreement and included in the determination of the prevailing wage by the Labor 

Commissioner pursuant to NRS 338.030. (See NRS 338.035 and Assembly Bill 190 passed 

during 2019 Legislative Session)

 e. WHAT RATE TO APPLY: The worker must be paid the rate for the type of work actually 

 performed. Misclassifications are not uncommon. Again, look at the type of work performed and 

not just the classification listed. For example, a worker may say that he/she is a cement mason 

and that they are being paid as a cement mason. In reality, they may be performing other types 

of work. If they are building forms more than one board high, they may be performing the work 

of a carpenter. If they are tying wire mesh or rebar used to reinforce concrete, they should be 

paid as an iron worker. If you are uncertain as to what classification a particular job may be, 

you may contact the Office of the Labor Commissioner for clarification.

Compare the rates reported on the certified payroll to the required rate. The actual rate paid is 

determined by adding the rate paid directly to the worker plus any contributions made to a third 

person pursuant to a fund, plan, or program in the name of the worker.

 Assembly Bill 136, passed during the 2019 Legislative Session, eliminates the 90% 

Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) and School Construction Rate – effective 

July 1, 2019. AB 136 is not retroactive and does not apply to jobs awarded prior to July 

1, 2019.

 The bids submitted in response the solicitation and/or project should represent and be 

reflective of the work to be performed. For example, a contract for Electrical Work 

should contain bids that reflect Prevailing Wage Rates for Electricians and similar 

Electrical Job Classifications.

 Bids that have multiple Job Classifications combined as a single rate or multiple rates 

should be reviewed to determine if they are in fact responsive.

For Example: Laborer/Electrician/Operator is not a Job Classification.

Page 17 of 29
f. DAILY OVERTIME: Review for proper payment of overtime. The overtime rate is 1 1/2 times 

 the regular rate paid to the worker. Overtime is to be paid for every hour worked in excess of 

 8-hours in a workday. Overtime is to be paid at the rate of work being performed when 

 overtime became due. 

A workday is defined as a period of 24 consecutive hours that begins when the employee begins 

work. This can be confusing, so when determining overtime pay, keep the following things in 

mind: 

• Once the 24-hour workday begins it is consecutive and lasts a full 24 hours.

• The 24-hour workday only resets on a new pay period or if there is a later start time.

• No 24-hour workday can overlap another, although there may be a gap between workdays.

• Generally, overtime for work over 8-hours in a workday will occur before overtime over 

40-hours in a work week. 

Zone Rates are added to the hourly rate, and then overtime is calculated on that rate. 

Premium Pay for work in excess of a shift of 8-hours or 12-hours or such other time increment 

set forth in the Collective Bargaining Agreement or on a weekend or holiday. (See NRS 

338.030) 

g. DAILY OVERTIME EXCEPTION: There is one exception to the overtime pay of work in 

 excess of eight hours in a workday. If the worker and employer mutually agree to the 

 employee working a scheduled 10-hours per day, for four calendar days (4/10’s), within any 

 scheduled week of work. (See NRS 338.020)

This is a very narrow definition. The scheduling of four-tens (4/10’s) must be mutual. The worker 

must work the scheduled 4/10’s. That means 10-hours each of the four days. No more, and no 

less. If these conditions do not occur, then overtime must be paid to the worker for all work in 

excess of 8-hours in a workday. (See NRS 338.020) 

h. WEEKLY OVERTIME: Nevada requires that overtime be paid for all hours worked in excess 

 of 40-hours in any scheduled week of work. A week of work is defined as seven consecutive

 periods of 24-hours. The week of work may begin on any day, and at any hour of the day. 

 (See NRS 338.020)

i. POTENTIAL ISSUES: The certified payroll report is not to include days and hours worked on 

 other jobs. However, a worker is to be paid for all time worked and applicable overtime. How 

 does the public body know what hours the worker may have worked on the projects? It may be 

 evident from the certified payroll report or you may find out by speaking with the workers. If that 

 occurs and the worker believes he/she is due overtime, please have them contact our office and 

 we will work with the awarding/public body to investigate all hours worked on all projects.

VII. WHO MUST BE PAID THE PREVAILING RATE: 

a. WORKERS, MECHANICS, AND LABORERS; SKILLED, SEMI-SKILLED, OR UNSKILLED in 

the performance of work at the site of the work that is necessary to the construction of the public 

work are to be paid the applicable prevailing wage rate for the type of work performed, 

regardless of skill level, license held, and regardless of whether that worker is employed lawfully 

or unlawfully. This does not include an instance in which a person provides services to the 

Page 18 of 29
prime contractor or a subcontractor at the site of a public work for a limited period of time if the 

services provided: (1) Do not include work typically performed by a recognized class of workers; 

and (2) Are incidental or ancillary to the construction, repair or reconstruction of the public work. 

(See NRS 338.040; NAC338.009) (See Advisory Opinion AO-2015-05)

http://labor.nv.gov/uploadedFiles/labornvgov/content/About/AO%20SERVICE%20PROVIDER

S%20AO%202015%2005.pdf

b. FOREMAN AND GENERAL FOREMAN: A foreman is defined as a person who works with and 

supervises one or more journeymen performing a craft or type of work. A general foreman is 

defined as a person who works with and supervises one or more journeymen performing a craft 

or type of work, including, without limitation, one or more foremen. (See NAC338.015)

 VIII. EXCEPTIONS: 

 APPRENTICES: Workers who are enrolled in a bona fide apprenticeship program and 

registered with the Nevada Apprenticeship Council are exempt from being paid the prevailing 

wage rate. 

When a contractor or subcontractor first lists an apprentice on a certified payroll report/record, 

the contractor or subcontractor must submit with that certified payroll report/record

documentation to substantiate that the apprentice is registered in a bona fide apprenticeship 

program and registered with the Nevada Apprenticeship Council. 

The apprenticeship program standards/agreement will state what rate the apprentice is to be 

paid at and the rate can be set by a Collective Bargaining Agreement. Most apprenticeship

program standards will provide a ratio of apprentices to journeymen and the employer must 

comply with that ratio. Lastly, the apprentice must be performing the type of work that is within 

the type of apprenticeship he/she is enrolled. For example, a laborer apprentice is not to 

perform carpenter, electrical, iron work, etc. If the employer does not comply with all these 

requirements the worker is to be paid the full journeyman rate for the type of work performed.

Compliance with NRS section 338.01165 – Apprenticeship Utilization Act (Passed during 2019 

Legislative Session) – Ensure the reporting of Apprentices complies with NRS 338.01165 

unless a Waiver has been granted by the Labor Commissioner. Apprentices shall be used and 

reported for at least 10 % of the total hours on vertical construction and 3 % of the total hours 

for horizontal construction of the total hours of labor worked for each apprenticed craft or type 

of work to be performed on the public work when more than three employees of each a craft 

are employed at the site of work.

 DESIGN PROFESSIONAL: The exception being a design professional. A design professional 

is defined as a person who is licensed as a professional engineer or a professional land 

surveyor, pursuant to chapter 625 of the NRS; a person who holds a certificate of registration 

to engage in the practice of architecture, interior design, or residential design, pursuant to 

chapter 623 of the NRS; or a person who holds a certificate of registration to engage in the 

practice of landscape architecture, pursuant to chapter 623A of the NRS. (See NRS

338.010(23); NRS 338.010(7)) 

Page 19 of 29
IX. REVIEWING CERTIFIED PAYROLL REPORTS/RECORDS:

To catch a potential problem before it occurs, it is a good idea to review the certified payroll 

reports/records. Below are some examples of things to look out for.

 An employee worked more than 8 hours a day, but no overtime was paid. Perhaps they are 

working four-tens (4/10’s). Make sure the employee did, in fact, work four, 10-hour shifts. 

 The hours worked do not match what the employee was paid. 

 The employee appears to be underpaid. There are several instances that would cause the 

employee to appear to be underpaid. The employee could be an apprentice. Make sure that 

the proper apprentice documents are on file. The calculations could be incorrect; review your 

numbers. Additionally, check to make sure that contributions were considered. 

 You get a report from a subcontractor who has not been reported properly to the public body. 

Get the paperwork in order and notify the contractor, who failed to report their subcontractor, 

that a violation occurred. 

 Look for classifications that are not in accordance with recognized classifications. You may get 

a report saying owner/operator and no further information. Owner/operators are not exempt 

from being reported and being paid the prevailing rate. You may see a worker reported as a 

supervisor. Again, look at the type of work actually performed rather than the title given to the 

worker. Many classifications require the payment of the prevailing rate to foremen and general 

foremen. See November 10, 2015, Advisory Opinion – Certified Payroll for Owner-Operators. 

http://labor.nv.gov/uploadedFiles/labornvgov/content/About/AO%20OWNER%20OPE

RATORS%20AO%202015%2006.pdf

 The type of work reported for that subcontractor should match the work reported on the certified 

payroll report. When a subcontractor is reported, the report is to include the scope of work to 

be performed by the subcontractor in connection with the public work. If the subcontractor is 

reported as performing iron work but the certified payroll reports indicate labors and carpenters,

there may be a potential issue. See May 9, 2018, Advisory Opinion – Prevailing Wage Rate of 

Multiple Job Classifications.

http://labor.nv.gov/uploadedFiles/labornvgov/content/About/AO%20Prevailing%20Wage%20

Rate%20of%20Muliple%20Job%20Classifications.pdf

 Check for a disproportionate mix of workers reported. If a contractor or subcontractor is framing 

a building and lists half of its workers as laborers, there may be a problem. 

 If field reports or observations indicate work outside normal hours, perhaps overtime is being 

worked. This should be indicated on the certified payroll reports. 

 If workers appear to be working 8-hour days or full weeks, but only partial days and weeks are 

being reported, further review might be needed.

Page 20 of 29
 X. INVESTIGATION OF POSSIBLE VIOLATIONS:

 a. WHAT TRIGGERS AN INVESTIGATION BY AN AWARDING BODY?

 SELF AUDIT: A public body awarding a contract shall investigate possible violations and determine 

whether a violation has been committed and inform the Labor Commissioner of any such violations. 

Such an investigation may be initiated by the awarding body. 

1. Concerns identified during the review of certified payroll reports.

2. Concerns expressed by or to the awarding body’s project manager.

3. Calls or letters received by the awarding body.

*** The Awarding Body should provide notice to the Office of the Labor Commissioner of 

any Self Audits to obtain technical assistance as needed. 

 WAGE CLAIMS: A wage claim is submitted by an individual who maintains that they performed 

work on a prevailing wage project. The wage claim provides specific details as to the scope of work 

performed, the actual wages paid, and classification of work that individual believes they performed. 

Such a claim may be for unpaid wages, misclassification, unpaid overtime, and/or a combination 

of alleged violations.

*** The Awarding Body should provide notice to the Office of the Labor Commissioner 

of any Wage Claims prior to investigating. 

 THIRD PARTY COMPLAINTS: A third party complaint is generally filed against a specific contractor 

performing work on a prevailing wage project. The allegations may be made on behalf of an 

individual worker or a group or class of employees. (See NAC 338.105 and NAC 338.107)

*** The Awarding Body should provide notice to the Office of the Labor Commissioner 

of any Third-Party Complaints prior to investigating. 

 COMMON REASONS FOR WHICH COMPLAINTS/WAGE CLAIMS ARE FILED: 

1. Misclassification of the worker or apprentices.

2. Mistaken belief that the worker is not subject to payment of prevailing wages for work 

performed. 

3. Failure to pay overtime. 

4. Failure to meet the applicable journeyman to foreman ratio. 

5. Failure to meet the applicable apprentice to journeyman ratio. 

6. Failure to remit payment for benefits to the third-party administrator, fund, plan, or program. 

7. Using impermissible benefits to meet the prevailing wage rate. 

8. Unauthorized deductions.

9. Failure to comply with NRS 338.01165 – Apprenticeship Utilization Act.

b. PRELIMINARY STEPS IN CONDUCTING AN INVESTIGATION

1. DETERMINE JURISDICTION:

 Was the project a “public work” owned by this awarding body?

 Was the worker, or class of worker, subject to the payment of prevailing wage? 

Page 21 of 29
***JURISDICTIONAL ISSUES: Before initiating an Investigation involving the assignment 

of work pursuant to a Collective Bargaining Agreement, the Awarding Body should 

contact the Office of the Labor Commissioner to determine if jurisdiction is proper.

2. COMPILE ALL NECESSARY INFORMATION: While the information necessary for a complete and 

comprehensive investigation will vary depending upon the issue(s) involved, most will entail a 

review of the following:

a. The complaint/claim received. 

b. Copies of the applicable certified payroll reports for the contractor/time in question.

 6. INVESTIGATION TIMELINE: 

 Pursuant to the provisions of NAC 338.110, all investigations 

 by the awarding body must be completed within “30 days unless an additional period of

 result in the assessment of an administrative fine of up to $5,000.00 by the Labor 

 Commissioner. (See NRS 338.015)

c. DETERMINATION - At the conclusion of the investigation, the awarding body will issue a 

 written Determination containing their findings. That Determination will include:
