2. A subcontractor shall be presumed to be qualified pursuant to subsection 1 unless the Division has received information that:
(a) The Division determines to be sufficient and verifiable; and
(b) Indicates the subcontractor does not meet the criteria established by regulation pursuant to subsection 1.
3. Upon receipt of sufficient and verifiable information of a type described in subsection 2, the Division shall require a subcontractor regarding whom such information is received to submit to the Division, on a form prescribed by the Division, an application for qualification in accordance with the criteria established by regulation pursuant to subsection 1. After receiving such an application, the Division shall determine whether the subcontractor is qualified in accordance with the criteria established by regulation pursuant to subsection 1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4, if the Division determines that the subcontractor does not meet such criteria, the Division may disqualify the subcontractor, for a period set by the Division, from participating in public works projects which are sponsored by the Division. The Division shall provide written notice to the subcontractor of any such disqualification.
4. A subcontractor may appeal a disqualification pursuant to subsection 3 in the manner set forth in NRS 338.1381.
