1. The installation of a wind energy system on property owned or occupied by a public body pursuant to NRS 701B.400 to 701B.650, inclusive, shall be deemed to be a public work for the purposes of chapters 338 and 341 of NRS, regardless of whether the installation of the wind energy system is financed in whole or in part by public money. The public body, the utility, any contractor who is awarded a contract or entered into an agreement to perform the installation and any subcontractor who performs any portion of the installation shall comply with the provisions of NRS 338.013 to 338.090, inclusive, in the same manner as if the public body had undertaken the installation or had awarded the contract.
2. The amount of any incentive issued by a utility relating to the installation of a wind energy system on property owned or occupied by a public body may not be used to reduce the cost of the project to an amount which would exempt the project from the requirements of NRS 338.013 to 338.090, inclusive.
3. As used in this section, "public body" means the State or a county, city, town, school district or any public agency of this State or its political subdivisions.
