| Summary |
Senate Bill 19-196, enacted in 2019, requires that a state agency
(agency) specify a general prevailing rate of wages and other payments
provided to employees (prevailing rate) in certain contracts for public
projects, and it applies to state solicitations issued for projects
(solicitations) on or after July 1, 2021.
For solicitations issued on July 1, 2021, through December 31,
2021, only, the bill requires that the agency obtain the general prevailing
rate directly from the United States department of labor. For solicitations
issued on or after January 1, 2022, the agency must obtain the general
prevailing rate from the director of the Colorado department of personnel
and administration (department).
For solicitations issued on July 1, 2021, through December 31,
2021, only, the bill requires that the agency keep a schedule of the
prevailing rate on file for the life of the project. Beginning on January 1,
2022, the director of the department is required to keep a schedule of the
customary prevailing rate in his or her office.
The bill also permits the department to include only solicitations
issued on or after January 1, 2022, rather than solicitations issued on or
after July 1, 2021, in its annual reports detailing the amount of
apprenticeship training contributions paid.
