BRDCOM-S3669 Bid_Q_A_for_Export_Report.xlsx

This is a Bid Questions and Answers document for Lobbying Services solicited by the Nevada State Board of Dental Examiners under Request for Proposal BRDCOM-S3669. The Board seeks comprehensive legislative monitoring, advocacy, and government relations services across nine primary task categories, with deliverables including legislative strategy plans, stakeholder mapping documents, coalition engagement plans, testimony preparation materials, regulatory tracking logs, and monthly written reports to the Executive Team. The question submission deadline was February 27, 2026, with a proposal submission deadline of March 11, 2026, at 2:00 PM Pacific Time. Evaluation was scheduled for March 11-17, 2026, with a Notice of Intent estimated for March 18, 2026, and Notice of Award for April 13, 2026. The contract term is expected to be two years, subject to Board approval, with an anticipated contract start date of June 9, 2026.

The Q&A document clarifies that the Board anticipates between one to six proposed Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) changes for the 2027 and/or 2029 legislative sessions, with focus on statutory and regulatory reform rather than monitoring alone. Proposed initiatives include transitioning license expiration dates, correcting dental therapy exam requirements, aligning anesthesia permit regulations, and repealing outdated NRS references. The Board expects written communication primarily via email with occasional meetings for complex matters, with reporting cadence contingent upon the mapped-out plan and the selected lobbying firm's insights. Nevada-based businesses receive a five percent preference pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes 333.3351 to 333.3356, and all vendors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including Commercial General Liability ($2,000,000 general aggregate), Automobile Liability ($1,000,000 combined single limit), Workers' Compensation, and Professional Liability coverage ($1,000,000 per claim, $2,000,000 annual aggregate). The RFP does not disclose a specific contract award value or budget range.
