This is a Cost Schedule document for the Nevada State Purchasing Division's Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Mediator Panel solicitation (RFQ Number 74BAI-S3523), administered by the Real Estate Division's Office of the Ombudsman for Common-Interest Communities and Condominium Hotels. The procurement seeks to establish a panel of qualified mediators to provide mediation services for disputes involving residential property associations, including covenant interpretation disputes, assessment issues, and association bylaws. Mediators will conduct mediation sessions addressing covenants, conditions, restrictions, and bylaws applicable to residential properties. The solicitation was released on October 14, 2025, with submissions due November 3, 2025, and the anticipated contract term is four years subject to Board of Examiners approval. Mediators must complete assignments within 60 days of claim filing and be available for up to 4 hours of annual instruction. The mediation sessions are capped at 3 hours per initial engagement.

Compensation is structured with a maximum rate of $167.00 per hour, with the initial 3-hour mediation session not to exceed $500.00 total.
