Overview of Requirements

Spring Valley is an unincorporated town administered through Clark County; affirmative action expectations for public contracting are set and enforced through county procurement rules, diversity programs, and the applicable county code sections. Contractors should expect solicitation language that requires nondiscrimination, good-faith efforts to use diverse subcontractors, and accurate reporting of workforce composition where required.

Penalties & Enforcement

Enforcement of affirmative action and equal-opportunity provisions for contractors performing work in Spring Valley is handled by Clark County procurement and compliance units, typically within Purchasing and Contracts and any designated Diversity or Small Business office. The county may pursue administrative remedies under procurement rules or the county code for noncompliance; specific monetary fines or statutory penalty amounts are not specified on the cited county procurement and code pages, and interested parties should consult the enforcing office for precise figures and procedures.[1][2]
