This procurement is subject to Colorado resident bidder preference and Colorado labor requirements mandating that eighty percent of work be performed by Colorado residents for public works projects over $500,000, with written justification required for any non-compliance. Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses may qualify for consideration if they provide proof of certification from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. All contractors must execute Performance Bonds (State Form SC-6.22) and Labor and Material Payment Bonds (State Form SC-6.221) in amounts equal to the contract value, maintain commercial general liability insurance of $2,000,000 aggregate and automobile liability insurance of $1,000,000, and comply with Colorado's unauthorized immigrant employment verification requirements through participation in the E-Verify Program or the Department Program. A bid bond of not less than 5 percent of the total bid amount is required, guaranteed by either State Buildings Programs Bid Bond Form SC-6.14 or a cashier's or certified check payable to the Treasurer of the State of Colorado, with the bid bond remaining valid for 30 days following bid opening. The contract award will be made to the lowest responsible bidder, and failure to complete work within the agreed timeline subjects the contractor to liquidated damages as specified in the contract documents.
