1. The public body shall select at least
two but not more than four finalists from among the design-build teams that
submitted preliminary proposals. If the public body does not receive at least
two preliminary proposals from design-build teams that the public body
determines to be qualified pursuant to this section and NRS 338.1721 , the public body may not
contract with a design-build team for the design and construction of the public
work.
2. The public body shall select finalists
pursuant to subsection 1 by:
(a) Verifying that each design-build team which
submitted a preliminary proposal satisfies the requirements of NRS 338.1721 ;
(b) Conducting an evaluation of the
qualifications of each design-build team that submitted a preliminary proposal,
including, without limitation, an evaluation of:
(1) The professional qualifications and
experience of the members of the design-build team;
(2) The performance history of the members
of the design-build team concerning other recent, similar projects completed by
those members, if any;
(3) The safety programs established and
the safety records accumulated by the members of the design-build team; and
(4) The proposed plan of the design-build
team to manage the design and construction of the public work that sets forth
in detail the ability of the design-build team to design and construct the
public work; and
(c) Except as otherwise provided in this
paragraph, assigning, without limitation, a relative weight of 5 percent to the
possession of both a certificate of eligibility to receive a preference in
bidding on public works by all contractors on the design-build team and a
certificate of eligibility to receive a preference when competing for public
works by all design professionals on the design-build team. If any federal
statute or regulation precludes the granting of federal assistance or reduces
the amount of that assistance for a particular public work because of the
provisions of this paragraph relating to a preference in bidding on public
works or a preference when competing for public works, those provisions of this
paragraph do not apply insofar as their application would preclude or reduce
federal assistance for that public work.
3. After the selection of finalists
pursuant to this section, the public body shall make available to the public
the results of the evaluations of preliminary proposals conducted pursuant to
paragraph (b) of subsection 2 and identify which of the finalists, if any,
received an assignment of 5 percent pursuant to paragraph (c) of subsection 2.
