Certification_Statement_for_Keep_Jobs_in_Colorado_Act.pdf

This is a Certification Statement for Compliance with the Keep Jobs in Colorado Act, issued by the City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado, for public works projects. The document serves as a certification requirement for vendors bidding on public works projects as defined under Colorado Revised Statutes. The certification requires vendors to commit to employing Colorado labor to perform at least 80% of the work on any public works project, or alternatively, to comply with notification requirements and waiver request procedures established under C.R.S. 8-17-101 et seq. Vendors must execute this certification statement with an authorized signature, printed name, title, and date, with corporate attestation required from a corporate secretary or equivalent officer. The document references House Bill 13-1292, effective January 1, 2014, and establishes the vendor's agreement to comply with all provisions of the Keep Jobs in Colorado Act.

The certification statement imposes compliance obligations on vendors, requiring them to submit to reasonable requests from the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment during investigations. Failure to comply with the Act or its implementing statutes authorizes the City of Wheat Ridge to terminate the purchase order for breach and pursue actual and consequential damages against the vendor. The document does not specify pricing terms, contract amounts, or renewal options, as it functions as a mandatory compliance certification rather than a contract award document. The certification applies to all public works projects undertaken by the City of Wheat Ridge and represents a pre-award requirement that vendors must satisfy prior to contract execution.
