About this file
This document is a Colorado Apprenticeship Contribution Rates table for 2026 (Revision 07/2026) applicable to the AHEC-27705-B-7th Street Garage High-Priority Structural Repair project in Colorado. The table establishes hourly apprenticeship contribution rates across 21 distinct trade unions and local chapters operating throughout Colorado, with rates varying by geographic region, trade classification, and project type. The rates are organized by union affiliation and cover specialized trades including electrical work, plumbing, carpentry, roofing, ironworking, equipment operation, and various skilled construction trades. Geographic coverage spans the entire state of Colorado, with some unions specifying different rates for northern counties, southern counties, western Colorado regions, Denver and northern Colorado, southern Colorado, and specific metropolitan areas including Grand Junction, Colorado Springs, and Denver.
Apprenticeship contribution rates range from a low of $0.15 per hour for United Union of Roofers, Water Proofers, and Allied Workers to a high of $1.84 per hour for industrial-classified work under the International Association of Bridge, Structural, Ornamental, and Reinforcing Iron Workers. Several unions establish tiered rates based on work classification, such as commercial versus industrial or residential versus commercial applications, while others, including Sprinkler fitters (UA), implement year-based escalation schedules progressing from $1.30 in the first year to $2.37 at the journeyman level. These rates serve as mandatory contribution calculations for apprenticeship programs under Colorado prevailing wage requirements and apply directly to labor cost estimation for the 7th Street Garage structural repair project.
