the Business Associate’s HIPAA Privacy and Security policies and procedures; establishment of Privacy and Security training
programs; and development and implementation of an incident risk assessment and response plan in the event the Business
Associate sustains a breach or suspected breach of protected health information.
Safeguards. The Business Associate must implement safeguards as necessary to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and
availability of the protected health information the Business Associate accesses, maintains, creates, retains, modifies, records,
stores, destroys, or otherwise holds, transmits, uses or discloses on behalf of the Covered Entity. Safeguards must include
administrative safeguards (e.g., risk analysis and designation of security official), physical safeguards (e.g., facility access
controls and workstation security), and technical safeguards (e.g., access controls and audit controls) to the confidentiality,
integrity and availability of the protected health information, in accordance with 45 CFR 164.308, 164.310, 164.312, 164.316
and 164.504(e)(2)(ii)(B). Sections 164.308, 164.310 and 164.312 of the CFR apply to the Business Associate of the Covered
Entity in the same manner that such sections apply to the Covered Entity. Technical safeguards must meet the standards set
forth by the guidelines of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The Business Associate agrees to only
use or disclose protected health information as provided for by the agreement and Addendum and to mitigate, to the extent
practicable, any harmful effect that is known to the Business Associate, of a use or disclosure, in violation of the requirements
of this Addendum as outlined under 45 CFR 164.530(e)(2)(f).
Training. The Business Associate must train all members of its workforce on the policies and procedures associated with
safeguarding protected health information. This includes, at a minimum, training that covers the technical, physical and
administrative safeguards needed to prevent inappropriate uses or disclosures of protected health information; training to
prevent any intentional or unintentional use or disclosure that is a violation of HIPAA regulations at 45 CFR 160 and 164 and
Public Law 111-5; and training that emphasizes the criminal and civil penalties related to HIPAA breaches or inappropriate
uses or disclosures of protected health information. Workforce training of new employees must be completed within 30 days of
the date of hire and all employees must be trained at least annually. The Business Associate must maintain written records for
a period of six years. These records must document each employee that received training and the date the training was
provided or received.
Use and Disclosure of Protected Health Information. The Business Associate must not use or further disclose protected
health information other than as permitted or required by the agreement or as required by law. The Business Associate must
not use or further disclose protected health information in a manner that would violate the requirements of the HIPAA Privacy
and Security Rule and the HITECH Act.

III. PERMITTED AND PROHIBITED USES AND DISCLOSURES BY THE BUSINESS ASSOCIATE. The Business Associate agrees to
these general use and disclosure provisions:
1.

Permitted Uses and Disclosures:
a. Except as otherwise limited in this Addendum, the Business Associate may use or disclose protected health

17936.
b. Except as otherwise limited by this Addendum, the Business Associate may use or disclose protected health
information received by the Business Associate in its capacity as a Business Associate of the Covered Entity, as

responsibilities of the Business Associate, as required by law or for data aggregation purposes in accordance with
45 CFR 164.504(e)(2)(A), 164.504(e)(4)(i)(A), and 164.504(e)(2)(i)(B).
c. Except as otherwise limited in this Addendum, if the Business Associate discloses protected health information to a
third party, the Business Associate must obtain, prior to making any such disclosure, reasonable written assurances
from the third party that such protected health information will be held confidential pursuant to this Addendum and
only disclosed as required by law or for the purposes for which it was disclosed to the third party. The written
agreement from the third party must include requirements to immediately notify the Business Associate of any

Prohibited Uses and Disclosures:

accordance with 42 USC 17935.
b. The Business Associate shall not directly or indirectly receive remuneration in exchange for any protected health
information, as specified by 42 USC 17935, unless the Covered Entity obtained a valid authorization, in accordance
with 45 CFR 164.508 that includes a specification that protected health information can be exchanged for
remuneration.

IV. OBLIGATIONS OF COVERED ENTITY
1. The Covered Entity will inform the Business Associate of any limitations in the Covered Entity’s Notice of Privacy Practices in
accordance with 45 CFR 164.520, to the extent that such limitation may affect the Business Associate’s use or disclosure of
protected health information.

under the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rule and the HITECH Act, if done by the Covered Entity.

maintains in any form and the Business Associate will retain no copies of such information.
b. If the Business Associate determines that returning or destroying the protected health information is not feasible, the
Business Associate will provide to the Covered Entity notification of the conditions that make return or destruction
infeasible. Upon a mutual determination that return, or destruction of protected health information is infeasible, the
Business Associate shall extend the protections of this Addendum to such protected health information and limit
further uses and disclosures of such protected health information to those purposes that make return or destruction
infeasible, for so long as the Business Associate maintains such protected health information.
c. These termination provisions will apply to protected health information that is in the possession of subcontractors,
agents, or employees of the Business Associate.
2. Term. The Term of this Addendum shall commence as of the effective date of this Addendum herein and shall extend

transmitted, used or disclosed by the Business Associate on behalf of the Covered Entity, is destroyed or returned to the
Covered Entity, or, if it not feasible to return or destroy the protected health information, protections are extended to such
information, in accordance with the termination.

Re: Recommendation of Award for Lyon County 2026 Roadway Resurfacing Project
Dear Mr. Homan,
On June 17, 2026 DOWL held a bid opening for the Lyon County 2026 Roadway Resurfacing
Project on behalf of Lyon County Road Department. Bid information was compiled and Sierra
Nevada Construction, Inc. is the apparent low bidder with a bid price of $3,174,007.00.
DOWL has evaluated the Sierra Nevada Construction Bid and finds that it complies with the
prescribed requirements of the Bid Form, and therefore is considered “responsive”. We have also
performed a due diligence check on the company by checking the System for Award
Management, Nevada State Contractor’s Board, the Secretary of State, and the Labor
Commissioner. The references were all positive; the consensus is that Sierra Nevada
Construction is qualified to perform and complete the work associated with this project. A search
with the Contractor’s Board shows no disciplinary action against them and they are within their
licensed limits. A search for debarment on the System for Award Management shows no action.
A search of the Secretary of State shows that they are in good standing. Lastly, a search of the
Labor Commissioner shows no actions, pending or filed, against them.
Sierra Nevada Construction has over 30 years of experience in the construction industry and has
performed similar projects in the past. Based on a review of their bid and background check,
DOWL finds Sierra Nevada Construction to be a “responsible” Bidder and we recommend
awarding them the Construction Contract.
I have attached the bid tabulation for your reference.
If you have any questions or require additional information regarding this letter, please feel free
to contact me.

Keith Karpstein, P.E.

FEE SCHEDULE ADJUSTMENTS
The compensation provisions in Exhibit A are based on CONSULTANT’s standard schedule of hourly billing rates in effect as of

134

guarantee that actual bids, negotiated prices, or total construction costs will not vary from such estimates. It is recognized that neither
the CONSULTANT nor the CLIENT has control over labor costs, material prices, equipment costs, contractor bidding strategies, market
conditions, or negotiations. If the CLIENT requires greater assurance regarding probable construction costs, the CLIENT should obtain
an independent cost estimate.

THIRD-PARTY ACTIONS

8.3
SITE CONDITIONS
Unless specifically included in the Scope of Services, the CONSULTANT makes no representations regarding subsurface,
geotechnical, hazardous materials, or environmental conditions and shall not be responsible for any claims arising from

materials or toxic substances.
8.4
PERMITS AND APPROVALS
The CONSULTANT will assist the CLIENT in identifying necessary permits and approvals only if such assistance is expressly

renewing all required permits, licenses, and approvals unless otherwise specified.
8.5
INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR STATUS
CONSULTANT is an independent contractor and shall not, under any circumstances, be considered an agent, employee, or
representative of CLIENT. CONSULTANT retains full discretion over the means and methods of performing its services. Nothing
in this AGREEMENT, nor any action taken by CONSULTANT, shall be construed to create or impose a fiduciary duty or relationship
between CONSULTANT and CLIENT or any third party. CONSULTANT’s obligations are limited to those expressly set forth in this
AGREEMENT and do not include any responsibility to oversee or guarantee the performance of others.
9.

INFORMATION PROVIDED BY OTHERS

CONSULTANT is entitled to rely upon information supplied by the CLIENT and other consultants retained directly by the CLIENT, without
independent verification. CONSULTANT shall not be liable for errors, omissions, or deficiencies in such information, nor for any resulting
delays or additional costs. However, if CONSULTANT becomes aware of material discrepancies, inconsistencies, or omissions that could
affect the performance of its services, CONSULTANT will promptly notify the CLIENT and may request additional data or clarification as
necessary. If such discrepancies materially impact the scope, schedule, or cost of CONSULTANT’s services, CONSULTANT and CLIENT
shall promptly confer in good faith to resolve the issue. If resolution is not achieved, any resulting adjustments to CONSULTANT’s
obligations, compensation, or schedule shall be handled in accordance with this contract’s dispute resolution provisions.
10.

Drawings, details, specifications, reports, and other documents prepared by CONSULTANT, including those in electronic form, are
instruments of service for use solely with respect to PROJECT. CONSULTANT shall be deemed the author and owner of the CONSULTANT’s
instruments of service and shall retain all common law, statutory, and other reserved rights, including copyrights. CONSULTANT retains
ownership of any standard design elements, methodologies, and engineering computations developed independently of this Agreement.
Upon full and timely payment of all sums due under this AGREEMENT, CONSULTANT grants CLIENT a limited, nonexclusive license to

PROJECT. CLIENT acknowledges that any future use, reuse, modification, or distribution of CONSULTANT’s instruments of service without
CONSULTANT’s prior written consent is entirely at CLIENT’s sole risk. CONSULTANT shall have no liability for any claims, damages, or
expenses resulting from such unauthorized use. CLIENT expressly agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold CONSULTANT harmless from
all liabilities, including attorneys’ fees, arising from CLIENT’s or any third party’s unauthorized use, reuse, or modification of
CONSULTANT’s instruments of service. CLIENT expressly releases CONSULTANT from any liability arising from such future use and further

including attorney’s fees, arising directly or indirectly from CLIENT’s use, reuse, modification, or distribution of the Instruments of Service
without CONSULTANT’s written authorization. This indemnification obligation shall survive the completion or termination of this
AGREEMENT.
Electronic versions of Instruments of Service are provided solely for convenience and shall not be considered contractually binding. In
the event of any inconsistency between electronic and printed versions, the signed and sealed printed versions shall govern. CONSULTANT
makes no representations regarding the compatibility, usability, completeness, or integrity of electronic files once transmitted. CLIENT

personnel and equipment access to PROJECT and any adjacent properties as required for the performance of services under this
AGREEMENT, at no cost to CONSULTANT. CONSULTANT will take reasonable precautions to minimize damage to the property; however,
CLIENT acknowledges that some disturbance may occur as a normal result of fieldwork. CONSULTANT shall not be responsible for
repairing such disturbances unless caused by CONSULTANT’s negligence. CLIENT agrees to indemnify and hold harmless CONSULTANT
from any claims, damages, or liabilities arising from site access or preexisting conditions, except to the extent caused by CONSULTANT’s
negligence or willful misconduct.
12.

INDEMNIFICATION

CONSULTANT agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify and hold harmless CLIENT from and against any Claims, but
only to the extent caused by CONSULTANT’s negligent acts, errors, or omissions in performance of its obligations under this Agreement.
CONSULTANT’s indemnification obligations shall not extend to any Claims arising from the negligence, willful misconduct, or breach of
contract by CLIENT or third party.
CLIENT agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify and hold harmless CONSULTANT from and against any Claims, but

by CONSULTANT or third party.
Neither party shall have any duty to defend the other party against Claims, whether before or after a final determination of liability.
Neither party shall be responsible for the legal fees, defense costs, or any expenses incurred by the other in responding to such Claims,
unless otherwise required by applicable law and only to the extent such costs are covered by available insurance. Any obligation to
indemnify shall be strictly limited to the extent of damages directly caused by the indemnifying party’s negligence and shall not extend
to claims arising from the other party’s sole negligence, willful misconduct, or breach of contract.
Indemnification under this clause shall be strictly limited to Claims involving bodily injury, sickness, disease, death, or damage to tangible
property directly caused by the indemnifying party. Under no circumstances shall either party be liable for consequential, special, or
punitive damages, nor shall the indemnification obligation extend to economic losses unrelated to physical damage or injury.

limitations but shall apply only to Claims arising from acts or omissions that occurred during the Agreement’s term.

14.1
TERMINATION FOR CAUSE
Either party may terminate this AGREEMENT for cause upon thirty (30) days advance written notice in the event of substantial
failure by the other party to perform in accordance with the terms of this AGREEMENT, through no fault of the terminating

GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTES

This AGREEMENT shall be governed by the laws of the state in which PROJECT is located. All dispute resolution proceedings shall be
venued in the county and state where the services are rendered unless the parties mutually agree otherwise in writing. If jurisdictional
requirements permit, either party may elect to bring the dispute in federal court.
The parties agree to first endeavor in good faith to resolve any dispute arising out of or related to this AGREEMENT through negotiation
for a period of thirty (30) days before initiating mediation. If the dispute remains unresolved after this period, the parties shall proceed
to mediation with a mutually agreed upon JAMS Global Engineering and Construction Group professional mediator. Mediation shall be a
condition precedent to the initiation of any legal proceedings and shall be completed within 120 days, unless extended by mutual
agreement of the parties. All mediation proceedings shall be confidential and not admissible in subsequent litigation or arbitration, except
as necessary to enforce a mediated settlement agreement.
If the claim or controversy is not resolved by mediation, the claim or controversy may be resolved by final and binding arbitration
conducted pursuant to JAMS Construction Arbitration Rules and Procedures, provided the parties mutually agree in writing prior to the
commencement of any arbitration proceeding. Absent express mutual consent to arbitrate, all disputes shall be litigated in a court of
competent jurisdiction in the state in which PROJECT is located, or in federal court if jurisdictional requirements are met.
Each party shall bear its own costs associated with mediation, litigation, or arbitration, except as otherwise required by law or mutually
agreed in writing.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the parties knowingly, voluntarily, and intentionally waive any right to a trial by jury in any action
or proceeding arising out of or relating to this AGREEMENT. Each party represents and warrants that it has had the opportunity to consult
with independent legal counsel regarding this waiver and enters into it freely and without reliance on any representations or inducements.
This waiver shall survive the termination or expiration of this AGREEMENT.
16.

NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES

Nothing in this AGREEMENT shall be construed to create, impose, or give rise to any rights, obligations, or cause of action in favor of any
third party, including but not limited to subcontractors, suppliers, employees, or other entities not a party to this AGREEMENT, against
either the CLIENT or the CONSULTANT.
17.

WAIVER OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES

To the fullest extent permitted by law, CLIENT and CONSULTANT mutually waive all claims against each other for any consequential,
incidental, special, punitive, or indirect damages, including but not limited to loss of use, loss of revenue, loss of anticipated profits,
business interruption, or reputational harm, arising out of or related to this AGREEMENT or the services provided hereunder, regardless
of the legal theory under which such damages are claimed, including negligence, strict liability, or breach of contract.
This waiver of consequential damages shall survive the completion, expiration, or termination of this AGREEMENT and shall apply to any
claim arising from services performed under this AGREEMENT, regardless of when the claim is made.
18.

FORCE MAJEURE

Neither CLIENT nor CONSULTANT shall be liable for any failure or delay in performing their obligations under this AGREEMENT due to
causes beyond their reasonable control, including but not limited to, strikes or other labor disputes, severe weather disruptions or other
natural disasters, fires, riots, war or other emergencies or acts of God, pandemics, or government-imposed restrictions.
If CONSULTANT’s services are delayed due to a force majeure event, CONSULTANT shall notify CLIENT as soon as practicable, and the
schedule for performance shall be equitably adjusted. In no event shall such delays be considered a breach of contract, nor shall
CONSULTANT be liable for any damages arising directly or indirectly from such delays. If the force majeure event prevents performance
for an extended period (e.g., more than 90 days), either party may terminate this AGREEMENT upon written notice.
19.

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

The CONSULTANT shall have no responsibility for the discovery, presence, handling, removal, disposal, or exposure of persons to
hazardous materials or toxic substances in any form at PROJECT. If the CONSULTANT encounters or becomes aware of hazardous
materials on or near the jobsite, the CONSULTANT shall immediately notify the CLIENT and, if required by law, the appropriate regulatory
authorities.
The CONSULTANT may, at its option and without liability for direct, consequential, or other damages, suspend performance of its services
under this AGREEMENT until the CLIENT retains appropriate professionals to identify, abate, or remove the hazardous materials and
provides written confirmation that the site complies with all applicable laws and regulations.

Page 7 of 9

Updated April 2025

138

The CLIENT shall indemnify and hold harmless the CONSULTANT, its officers, employees, and subconsultants from all claims, damages,
and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising from the presence, removal, or remediation of hazardous materials except to the extent
caused by the CONSULTANT’s negligence.
If the presence of hazardous materials necessitates additional services, delays PROJECT, or increases costs, the CONSULTANT shall be
entitled to an equitable adjustment in compensation and schedule.
20.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

In recognition of the relative risks and benefits of PROJECT to both the CLIENT and the CONSULTANT relating to CONSULTANT’s provision
of services in accordance with this AGREEMENT, the risks have been allocated such that the CLIENT agrees that CONSULTANT’s total
aggregate liability to CLIENT for any and all claims, injuries, losses, expenses, or damages whatsoever (including attorneys’ fees and
expert witness costs) arising out of or in any way related to the services provided under this AGREEMENT, regardless of the theories of
liability or causes of action asserted, including but not limited to allegations of CONSULTANT’s negligence, errors, omissions, strict liability,
breach of contract, or breach of warranty, shall not exceed the greater of:
(a) The total amount of fees paid to CONSULTANT under this AGREEMENT; or
(b) One hundred thousand dollars ($100,000).
CONSULTANT currently maintains a policy of professional liability insurance. In no event shall CONSULTANT's liability exceed the available
professional liability coverage at the time of the settlement or judgment. CLIENT and CONSULTANT acknowledge that this provision was
expressly negotiated and agreed upon as a fair allocation of risk, and it is a material consideration for the CONSULTANT entering into
this AGREEMENT. If any provision of this section is found unenforceable under applicable law, the remaining provisions shall continue in
full force and effect.
21.

STATUTES OF LIMITATIONS AND REPOSE

CLIENT and CONSULTANT agree that the applicable state law will govern the time limits for bringing all claims arising out of this
agreement. For purposes of calculating the applicable statutes of limitations and repose, any claim arising out of the contract or the
services provided by CONSULTANT shall be deemed to have accrued no later than the issuance of CONSULTANT’s final invoice for services
under the contract. The applicable statutes of limitations or repose shall begin to run upon issuance of CONSULTANT’s final invoice.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, CLIENT and CONSULTANT mutually agree that neither party shall initiate any legal proceedings
after the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitations or repose. Nothing in this provision shall extend or shorten the time period
for bringing claims beyond what is permitted under governing state law, nor shall it revive an otherwise barred claim or create any
independent tolling of statutory limitations.
CONSULTANT shall maintain all PROJECT-related records, including correspondence, reports, drawings, specifications, and other relevant
documentation, for a period of five (5) years following completion or termination of services under this AGREEMENT, or for such longer
period as may be required by applicable law or regulation. If the applicable statute of repose exceeds five (5) years, CONSULTANT shall
retain records until its expiration. Upon written request, CLIENT may obtain copies of retained records at CONSULTANT’s standard
reproduction cost, including reasonable administrative retrieval fees.
22.

SOLE CORPORATE REMEDY

It is the intent of the parties to this AGREEMENT that the CLIENT’s obligations and CONSULTANT’s services in connection with PROJECT
shall not subject the CLIENT’s or CONSULTANT’s individual shareholders, officers, directors, members, managers, or employees to
personal liability for risks associated with PROJECT.
Therefore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties agree that as their sole and exclusive remedy, any
claim, demand, or suit shall be directed and asserted only against the business entities that are the parties to this AGREEMENT, and not
against any of the parties’ individual shareholders, officers, directors, members, managers, or employees.
This limitation shall not apply to claims arising from willful misconduct that is conclusively determined by a court of competent jurisdiction,
or where such limitation is expressly prohibited by applicable law. Further, each party agrees to indemnify and defend its officers,
directors, and employees against third-party claims arising from their professional services under this AGREEMENT, to the extent covered
by insurance and not otherwise excluded under applicable law.
23.

SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS, AND ASSIGNMENT

CLIENT and CONSULTANT each binds itself, its partners, successors, executors, administrators, and permitted assigns to this AGREEMENT
and to the rights and obligations contained herein.

Page 8 of 9

Updated April 2025

139

Neither CLIENT nor CONSULTANT shall assign, transfer, or delegate any rights or obligations under this AGREEMENT without the prior
written consent of the other, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Any unauthorized assignment shall be
void and of no effect.
Nothing in this AGREEMENT shall create a contractual relationship with or a cause of action in favor of a third party against either CLIENT
or CONSULTANT, except as expressly stated in this AGREEMENT.
24.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
24.1
SEVERABILITY
If any provision of this AGREEMENT is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction,
such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to render it valid and enforceable. If modification is not
possible, the provision shall be deemed severed from this AGREEMENT, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force
and effect.
24.2
WAIVER
The waiver of any term, condition, or provision of this AGREEMENT shall not be deemed a waiver of any other term, condition,
or provision, nor shall it constitute a continuing waiver unless expressly stated in writing and signed by the waiving party. No
failure or delay in exercising any right, remedy, or power under this AGREEMENT shall be construed as a waiver thereof.
24.3
ENTIRE AGREEMENT
This AGREEMENT, including all incorporated exhibits and attachments, represents the entire and integrated agreement between
the parties. It supersedes all prior negotiations, representations, or agreements, whether written or oral. No amendment,
modification, or waiver of any provision shall be binding unless made in writing and signed by both parties. In the event of any
conflicts or inconsistencies between the terms contained in Exhibit A and those contained in the Standard Provisions of
Agreement, the terms of the Standard Provisions of Agreement shall govern.
24.4
NOTICES
All notices, requests, demands, and other communications required under this AGREEMENT shall be in writing and shall be
deemed duly given and received as follows: (i) if personally delivered, on the date of delivery, provided that the recipient
acknowledges receipt in writing; (ii) if sent via certified or registered U.S. Mail, return receipt requested, three (3) business days

either party may update its designated contact by providing written notice to the other party.

25.

RETAINER

CLIENT agrees to deposit the sum of ZERO Dollars ($0) as a retainer, receipt of which is a prerequisite for CONSULTANT to
commence services for CLIENT. The retainer will be held by CONSULTANT in its general accounts, with all benefits accruing to
CONSULTANT.
CONSULTANT may apply the retainer to any outstanding invoices that CLIENT has failed to pay within the time frames specified in this
AGREEMENT, provided that CONSULTANT first issues a written notice to CLIENT at least five (5) business days before applying the
retainer. This notice shall specify the outstanding invoice amount and provide CLIENT an opportunity to dispute or cure the non-payment
within the notice period.
If any portion of the retainer is applied to an outstanding invoice, CLIENT shall replenish the retainer account to the original amount
within ten (10) business days of CONSULTANT’s written request. Failure to replenish the retainer may result in suspension of services at
CONSULTANT’s discretion, subject to any applicable notice requirements under this AGREEMENT.
The retainer, or any unused portion thereof, shall be refunded to CLIENT within thirty (30) days after the conclusion of CONSULTANT’s
services or termination of this AGREEMENT, whichever occurs first, provided that there is no outstanding balance owed to CONSULTANT.
If a balance remains upon termination, CLIENT will be refunded the difference between the amount owed and the remaining retainer, if
any.
Nothing herein shall limit CONSULTANT’s rights to collect any remaining balance owed by CLIENT once the retainer is depleted, nor shall
it be interpreted as a waiver of CONSULTANT’s rights under applicable law or the dispute resolution provisions of this AGREEMENT.
Furthermore, CLIENT acknowledges that any outstanding balance shall remain an enforceable obligation, and CONSULTANT retains all
legal remedies available, including but not limited to collection actions, interest accrual on overdue amounts, and recovery of reasonable

legal fees.

142

AGREEMENT
1. Purpose
The purpose of this Memorandum of Understanding is to establish a coordinated process for
the review of building and fire protection plans associated with development projects
located within the jurisdiction of the Central Lyon County Fire Protection District. The
Parties recognize that concurrent review of building and fire plans promotes efficiency,
improves coordination between agencies, and ensures compliance with applicable building,
fire, and life safety codes.
2. Applicability
This MOU applies to building permit applications and associated construction plans
submitted to Lyon County for development projects located within the jurisdictional
boundaries of the Central Lyon County Fire Protection District that require review under
adopted fire and life safety codes.
3. Plan Submittal Requirements
A. County Building Permit Submittal
Applicants shall submit building permit applications and construction plans to the Lyon
County Building Division in accordance with County permitting procedures via online
through the County’s permitting system or in person.
B. Fire District Plan Review Submittal
Applicants shall separately submit fire plan review applications, fees and supporting
documentation to the Central Lyon County Fire Protection District through the District’s
designated electronic plan review portal or other submission system as required by the
District.
C. Applicant Responsibility
It shall be the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that all required materials are
submitted to both the County and the District.
4. Concurrent Plan Review
The Parties agree that building and fire plan review processes shall occur concurrently to
the extent practicable.
The County shall begin building plan review upon acceptance of a complete building permit
application. The District shall conduct fire and life safety plan review in accordance with its
adopted codes, standards, and procedures, and may utilize its own plan review software
solely for the purpose of reviewing submitted plans. The District's use of its own software
shall be limited to plan review only. All approvals, conditional approvals, or disapprovals of
submitted plans shall be issued by the District through the County's software program. In all

143

cases, whether plans are submitted electronically or in hard copy format, the District shall
also provide the County with a written letter of approval, conditional approval, or

when issues arise that affect building design, site layout, fire apparatus access, water supply,
fire protection systems, or other life safety considerations.
5. Coordination Prior to Permit Issuance
The County shall not issue a building permit until the District has issued a final determination
indicating that fire and life safety plan review requirements have been satisfied. Such
determination shall be required when fire plan review is required under the District's
adopted codes, standards, and procedures.
For electronically submitted plans, the District's final determination shall be issued through
the County's software program and shall be accompanied by a written letter of approval,
conditional approval, or disapproval as dual authentication of the District's determination.
For hard copy plan submissions, the District shall issue its determination through the
County's software program to the extent the system is capable of accommodating such
submissions, and shall provide a written letter of approval, conditional approval, or
disapproval as the official record of its determination.
In all cases, the County shall not issue a building permit until the District's determination
within the County's software program or a corresponding written letter from the District
have been received in the applicable form as described herein.
6. Fees
Each Party shall maintain its own fee schedule and shall independently collect fees
associated with its respective review processes.
The Central Lyon County Fire Protection District shall collect its own plan review fees
through its designated payment system or portal. Lyon County shall not be responsible for
collecting, administering, or enforcing payment of fees on behalf of the District.
7. Inspection Coordination
The Parties acknowledge that both the County and the District may conduct inspections
during the construction process to ensure compliance with applicable building, fire, and life
safety codes. The Parties agree to coordinate inspections when practicable in order to
minimize duplication of effort, reduce project delays, and provide efficient communication
with applicants and contractors.

144

Nothing in this section shall limit the authority of either Party to conduct inspections
necessary to enforce the codes and regulations within their respective jurisdictions.
8. Permit Issuance Coordination
The Parties acknowledge that Lyon County is the permitting authority responsible for the
issuance of building permits. Upon completion of the District’s required fire and life safety
plan review and issuance of fire plan approval, the District shall provide confirmation of such
approval to the applicant and the County.
Following such approval, the District shall not withhold or delay the issuance of a building
permit by the County unless new or previously unidentified fire or life safety code issues are
discovered that require additional review or correction.
Nothing in this section shall limit the authority of the District to enforce applicable fire and
life safety codes during construction.

This MOU shall become effective upon execution by both Parties and shall remain in effect
until terminated by either Party. Either Party may terminate this MOU upon thirty (30) days
written notice to the other Party.

agreement between public agencies pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Chapter 277
governing interlocal cooperation between governmental entities.
This Memorandum of Understanding may be amended only by written agreement approved
by the Board of County Commissioners of Lyon County and the Board of Fire Commissioners
of the Central Lyon County Fire Protection District. Any amendment shall be adopted by
formal action of each governing body and executed by authorized representatives of the
respective Parties following such approval.
11. Governmental Immunity
Nothing contained in this Memorandum of Understanding shall be deemed or construed as
a waiver of any immunity or limitation of liability afforded to either Party under Nevada
Revised Statutes Chapter 41, including but not limited to NRS 41.0305, or under any other
applicable provision of law.
12. No Financial Obligation
Nothing in this MOU shall be construed to create any financial obligation by one Party to the
other unless expressly provided for in a separate written agreement.

145

13. No Third-Party Rights

Regarding item: 12.b For Discussion and Possible Action: To review and discuss
determine whether the staff should consider any changes, clarifications or revisions to Lyon
County Development Code, Title 15.320.03, the Heavy
Industrial Zoning District, including the zoning district's permitted uses and compatibility with
surrounding land uses within the County's general land use framework (Gavin Henderson,
Community
Development Director).
I am a long time resident of Silver Springs, Lyon County, Nv. I believe the heavy industrial
zoning district needs revisions and/or clarifications and possible changes I attempted to do a
little research on Title 15.320.03 and found it to be quite confusing. My main concern would be
where data centers are allowed especially in the circumstances of Silver Springs and Mason
Valley. I have not heard of any data centers in Dayton or Moundhouse area. It’s my
understanding there are companies looking to build near schools, and too close to residents, The
setbacks and areas for industrial needs to be very strict with no exceptions. Industrial areas
that will include any data center and/or heavy industrial building should have the forethought of
water usage, sound that will carry and sound that penetrates the ground. lighting, pollution ,
and infrastructure and emergency response time. This should be discussed more at length with
the public and not just gone through lightly. I suggest going deeper into what the communities
want and what the infrastructure and communities can bear when it comes to industrial zoning.
Lyon County is turning into quite the puzzle with industrial zoning spread out to where it will
interfere with the peace and quite and well being of your constituents and also disturbing wildlife
and land beyond repair for future generations to enjoy. Please be thoughtful and careful with
what you do in Lyon County, our home. Thank you for your time. Patricia Jubin
