Apprentice Waiver DC Power 2019-097M21 Ph2 (2).pdf

This is a Request for Apprentice Waiver form submitted to the Colorado Department of Personnel and Administration, Office of the State Architect, for compliance with Colorado apprenticeship requirements. The waiver pertains to Project Number 2019-097M21, titled "Refurbish Ash Conveyor System, Heat Plant, Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo Ph2," managed by the Colorado Department of Human Services. The general contractor is DC Power Industrial Projects LLC, and the subcontractor is A-Var Electric Inc, located at 30 Greenhorn Dr., Pueblo, CO 81004. The trade involved is electricians. The waiver request was submitted on December 3, 2024, by Stanford Lee, State Buildings Program Delegate, and approved by Kathleen Miller at the Office of the State Architect.

The waiver was approved based on two grounds: no responsive, eligible subcontractors bid the project on the listed trades, and no responsive, eligible apprenticeship program exists within 50 miles one-way of the project location. This waiver must be submitted to the Office of the State Architect prior to contract execution. The document confirms approval of both waiver justifications, allowing the project to proceed without meeting the standard Colorado apprenticeship requirements.
