1. A local government or its authorized representative awarding a contract for a public work shall not award the contract to a person who, at the time of the bid, is not properly licensed under the provisions of chapter 624 of NRS or if the contract would exceed the limit of the person’s license. A subcontractor who is:
(a) Named in the bid for the contract as a subcontractor who will provide a portion of the work on the public work pursuant to NRS 338.141; and
(b) Not properly licensed for that portion of the work,
shall be deemed unacceptable. If the subcontractor is deemed unacceptable pursuant to this subsection, the contractor shall provide an acceptable subcontractor.
2. If, after awarding the contract, but before commencement of the work, the local government or its authorized representative discovers that the person to whom the contract was awarded is not licensed, or that the contract would exceed the person’s license, the local government or its authorized representative shall rescind the award of the contract and may accept the next lowest bid for that public work from a responsive and responsible bidder without requiring that new bids be submitted.
