Following the close of a project's bidding period the State Public Works Board will issue a Recommendation to Award Letter in which the successful bidder is named. In accordance with Nevada Revised Statutes Section 338.142, a person who bids on a contract may file a notice of protest regarding the awarding of the contract within 5 business days after the date that the recommendation to award the contract is issued and posted on the State Public Works Division website (under the ‘Bids’ tab).
