(a)Verifying that each applicant satisfies the requirements of NRS 338.1569 ; and

(b)Evaluating and assigning a score to each of the proposals based on the factors and relative weight assigned to each factor that the public body specified in the request for proposals.

3. When ranking the proposals, the panel appointed pursuant to subsection 1 shall assign a relative weight of 5 percent to the applicant’s possession of a certificate of eligibility to receive a preference in bidding on public works if the applicant submits a signed affidavit that meets the requirements of subsection 1 of NRS 338.0117 . 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 subsection, those provisions of this subsection do not apply insofar as their application would preclude or reduce federal assistance for that work.
