2. Notwithstanding the provisions of chapter 332 of NRS, a commission may utilize a competitive negotiation procurement process to procure rolling stock for a high-capacity transit project and any other equipment that is related to the project. The award of a contract under such a process must be made to the person whose proposal is determined to be the most advantageous to the commission, based on price and other factors specified in the procurement documents.

4. As used in this section:
(a) “Minimum operable segment” means the shortest portion of a high-capacity transit system that is technically capable of providing viable public transportation between two end points.
(b) “Turnkey procurement” means a competitive procurement process by which a person is selected by a commission, based on evaluation criteria established by the commission, to design, build, operate and maintain, or any combination thereof, a high-capacity transit system, or a portion thereof, in accordance with performance criteria and technical specifications established by the commission.
