Existing law prescribes general procedures and requirements for contracts for a public work. (Chapter 338 of NRS) Section 2 of this bill authorizes a party found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have legal standing to bring an action in district court against a public body to obtain an alternate writ of mandamus requiring the public body to award a contract pursuant to the provisions of chapter 338 of NRS if: (1) the public body attempts to award certain contracts in compliance with certain provisions of law relating to public procurement; and (2) the work to be performed pursuant to the contract is not directly related to the normal operation of the public body or the normal maintenance of its property. Section 2 also authorizes a district court to award reasonable attorney's fees and costs to a party that prevails on such an alternate writ of mandamus.
