requirements which may be lawfully waived by this section, and any requirement of

competitive bidding or other restriction imposed on the procedure for award of contracts

of NRS 338.013 to 338.090 , inclusive, in the same manner as if a public body had undertaken the water project

or had awarded the contract.
