11) Record Maintenance?

While there is no specific provision discussing requirements for record maintenance, there is a paragraph in the penalties section which mentions punishment for inaccurate or incomplete information in the monthly record:
Except as otherwise provided in subsection 8, a contractor engaged on a public work shall forfeit, as a penalty to the public body on behalf of which the contract has been made and awarded to the contractor, not less than $20 nor more than $50 for each calendar day or portion thereof for each workman employed on the public work for which the contractor or subcontractor willfully included inaccurate or incomplete information in the monthly record required to be submitted to the public body pursuant to subsection 5 of NRS 338.070
