A Class C contractor wants to bid on a $180,000 project. What is required under NRS 624?
Correct Answer
B) They must upgrade to Class B license
Class C contractors are limited to $100,000 projects. A $180,000 project requires a Class B license.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Under NRS 624, Class C contractors are limited to projects with a value of $100,000 or less (including labor and materials). A $180,000 project exceeds this limit, so the contractor must upgrade to a Class B license, which allows projects up to $1,000,000.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: They can bid as-is since it's under $200,000
There is no $200,000 threshold for Class C contractors. The actual limit is $100,000. Assuming any amount under $200,000 is permissible for a Class C contractor is factually incorrect under NRS 624.
Option C: They need special NSCB approval
Special NSCB approval is not a mechanism that allows a Class C contractor to exceed their monetary limit on a case-by-case basis. The license classification system is the controlling authority, and the appropriate path is to obtain the correct license class.
Option D: They must partner with a Class A contractor
Partnering with a Class A contractor does not automatically authorize a Class C contractor to take on work beyond their license limit. Each contractor must hold the appropriate license for the work they are performing and contracting for.
Memory Technique
Class C = $100K cap. Class B = $1M cap. Class A = no cap. Think C-B-A as climbing levels: each class unlocks bigger projects. $180K > $100K → must climb from C to B.
