NRS 338.016 Civil action to recover damages resulting from commission of offense.
1. If, after an opportunity for a hearing, an administrative penalty is imposed against a contractor on a public work for the commission of an offense:
(a) An eligible bidder, or any person who entered into a contract with the eligible bidder before bids for the contract for the public work were let, may commence a civil action against the contractor to recover damages suffered as a proximate result of the eligible bidder not being awarded the contract for the public work.
(b) There is a rebuttable presumption that the contractor was awarded the contract for the public work because the contractor's bid on the contract was based, in part, on his or her intent to commit the offense and, as a result, was lower than it otherwise would have been.
2. The court may award costs and reasonable attorney's fees to the prevailing party in any action brought pursuant to this section.
