McCall summarized each section and answered technical questions from members and staff.

Highlights of the draft presented: McCall said section 1 clarifies the election process for chair and vice chair; section 2 removes a required annual submission for CDOT (making submission permissive and subject to CDC review when submitted); section 3 modernizes review procedures for state institutions of higher education to reflect current practice; section 4 shifts the treasurer’s report deadline from September to March to allow more up‑to‑date data; section 5 converts an existing waiver process into an extension to allow continued CDC oversight and clarifies a deadline; section 6 adjusts the OSPB priority update due date from January 1 to January 2 to avoid the holiday; section 7 expands flexibility for waivers under the Art in Public Places program; and section 8 clarifies spending authority timelines for supplemental appropriations (remainder of fiscal year plus two full fiscal years).

McCall said the draft implements the recommendations contained in the staff memorandum and is before the committee for consideration; she was prepared to answer technical questions and rely on CDC staff for additional clarifications. Members did not vote on the draft in this session; several members asked for time to consult with other stakeholders and indicated they would return to the committee at the next meeting for further consideration.

The committee scheduled follow‑up: staff indicated a next meeting the following Thursday to continue discussion. McCall and CDC staff said they would coordinate with interested parties before further committee action.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Capital Development Committee [Mar 20, 2025]","oneSentenceSummary","Office of Legislative Legal Services staff presented a draft bill that consolidates CDC staff recommendations to clarify the committee’s statutes and administrative deadlines.","taxTitle","2025 Legislature CO, Colorado","taxId",77676,"location","Colorado","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6118642,"Committee approves framework for public‑private partnership to redevelop 1881 Pierce Street into affordable housing",1612,1166000,2778000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2722850-2531bbe21a31d1c19e2b18be12ec7892&start=1166&end=2778","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2722850-2531bbe21a31d1c19e2b18be12ec7892/thumbnail_1166000.jpg","/articles/6118642/Colorado/Committee-approves-framework-for-publicprivate-partnership-to-redevelop-1881-Pierce-Street-into-affordable-housing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6118642-191655894794ace7be1f5cdc0261813d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770713010&Signature=auuWxmRdrqi-ZhoIu8cOqbFVYqPXaqyUy4QcB0946P9DRE9I3prtrFUgfaUxU7ohHLVEYGI0F-tV9BxP3wwb9Co9kfzfRGFhNi9La6LpZeEVXzh76bN2ujBsiwJvGXvqfPtqlDeIOGH-GBxp3kCzEn3af7rdbZ2tbjsX8XL3TNbtwAdWA-B3kP8US-TIxRb0I8laNwbowpWDfuas7cx20Kao8o7Q2w6zvb8MF2TwXapntpPagRtNm19UeOJuB480~SOjgyTWZEI7aJ7eYUhMZdJRy9cJRhP1cIS9CPAyJ~0ns9NbP5OJVBRJpZwWKPAQzv5tM1vg47SBq9TbacIg8w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Capital Development Committee approved a plan to pursue a public‑private partnership (P3) for redevelopment of state‑owned parcels at 1881 Pierce Street and adjacent properties in Lakewood into housing, including a baseline target of at least 80 affordable units.

Tom Curek, director of the Public‑Private Partnership Unit, told the committee the site comprises roughly 14.4 acres of underutilized state property. Curek said the state will continue to own the existing building and two smaller parking lots (about 8.54 acres remaining in state ownership after redevelopment) while partnering with a private developer to build multifamily housing on the other parcels. He said the city of Lakewood has agreed to upzone the area to “mix urban general” to enable higher density.

Curek described the procurement sequence: an RFQ is in the market requesting developer qualifications and high‑level concepts; the office expects a site walk and will enter predevelopment and then development agreements with a selected developer. He said the RFQ requests firms demonstrate prior experience with affordable projects and to propose a financial return to the state. Curek told the committee the department brought on KPMG, AECOM and Ballard Spahr to assist with feasibility, valuation and negotiations.

Key parameters discussed: the RFQ and recommended baseline include a minimum of 80 affordable housing units (structured to meet Low Income Housing Tax Credit requirements), a ground‑lease negotiation approach that typically targets roughly 2–4% of appraised land value as an initial market guide, and a 99‑year ground lease with potential escalation or revenue sharing provisions to be negotiated in the predevelopment phase. Curek said a preliminary feasibility study showed a maximum of about 320 units could be built on the site, and the office is “determined to get more than 80 affordable housing units.”

Committee members asked whether the baseline should be a percentage of total units rather than a fixed count; Curek said he set a minimum count (80) and included that number in the RFQ to widen the pool of proposals and allow the evaluation committee to compare concepts. He said final unit counts, ground‑lease payments and other terms will be determined during the predevelopment negotiation and brought back to the committee for approval. Legislative council staff read relevant statute and confirmed the committee must approve non‑state use and that the department “shall not enter into a contract regarding the property or lease … without the approval of the capital development committee.”

Timeline and funding: Curek said the team aims to have “shovels in the ground by the first half of 2027” with likely occupancy in 2028–29, contingent on financing and LIHTC timing. He told the committee that financing feasibility depends on tax credits and that ground‑lease payments are typically phased once a project is built and stabilized under LIHTC financing.

Action: The committee voted to approve proceeding with consideration of non‑state use of the Lakewood complex and the proposed P3 baseline (the RFQ and predevelopment approach). The roll call was recorded as unanimous (yes votes recorded for Senator Henriksen; Representative Lindsay; Senator Pelton; Representative Winter; Senator Mullica). The department will return with the recommended lease and contract for final committee approval prior to final execution.","The committee approved a P3 agreement structure and non‑state use to pursue redevelopment of roughly 14.4 acres in Lakewood (1881 Pierce and adjacent parcels) with a baseline target of at least 80 affordable units; the department will continue competitive procurement and return with lease terms and recommended contract for final approval.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6118644,"Capital Development Committee approves ADA upgrades to Capitol cafeteria and historic restoration of Governor's suite",831,100000,931000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2722850-2531bbe21a31d1c19e2b18be12ec7892&start=100&end=931","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2722850-2531bbe21a31d1c19e2b18be12ec7892/thumbnail_100000.jpg","/articles/6118644/Colorado/Capital-Development-Committee-approves-ADA-upgrades-to-Capitol-cafeteria-and-historic-restoration-of-Governors-suite","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6118644-6d9d55396eab7213f0353713ac68c702/orig.mp4?Expires=1770713010&Signature=eV4OSvdIEqfmNlWueHZDAYhS3vc4~oyOFoFHleOXBj811ZuXs58dHidgaX2u1xlkoCW0-izEsjcveueIeDUzeW1vo4DSGgyl5mxkT8ZoTR9~YurqgYmXxiuHS-sr4CTHG5Cy8qPlSuQK164Lk4kqotN3V9VuKz7juuLj9qMgAN3Me2pR2E7K1FS2manB2l3sRpseZG1RkW7K~UOkiEzs5MEB9nnlmvTEtxOh7Tc-AAsyX299mZkL3eUZXwLDtEZTp493f4LHTJFNss~ONzHONOQqxCV8Q-PLgUp3o5FAU8UDEZZ~8DIgeAgGdgEO9f6Bgjnzc2R9hV~F2CDHxf5Jyg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Capital Development Committee approved recommendations from the Capital Building Advisory Committee to upgrade the Capitol Cafeteria for ADA accessibility and to undertake a historic restoration of the Governor’s Office suite.

The projects, presented by Richard Lee, division director for capital assets at the Department of Personnel and Administration, are currently in design and development. Lee said the cafeteria remodel “will improve the accessibility for the public as well as the vendors that work in the space” and that construction for the cafeteria is anticipated to begin in June 2025 and finish in late fall 2025.

The cafeteria plan removes fixed booths, adds a mix of higher and lower seating with ADA‑designated tables, and brings power (including USB charging) up from the subbasement to support users’ technology. Lee said the layout will upgrade public seating, millwork, lighting and electrical to meet current codes and technology needs. He noted staff will test new equipment — including an espresso machine request — to ensure building systems are not triggered.

The Governor’s Office work is described as a historic restoration after decades of alterations. Lee said the suite was “heavily modified over the years, especially in the 1970s, when ceilings were lowered to accommodate HVAC and historic finishes were covered with materials then considered contemporary.” The scope includes removal of nonhistorical wood paneling and drop ceilings, investigative work above ceilings (including asbestos checks), recreation of decorative paint, and reconstruction of fluted pilasters and capitals where substantiated by archival material. The design team is coordinating with History Colorado and is cataloging salvageable historic elements from the Capitol sub‑basement.

Funding for both projects comes through provisions identified in Senate Bill 22,239 and Senate Bill 24,206, Lee said. He told the committee that “within the adult payments, I believe it was roughly $1,000,000 … allocated for the cafeteria and a couple million … for the Governor’s office for restoration” and that current work is on budget. Construction documents and cost verification remain underway.

Committee members asked about lighting, seating counts and IT wiring; Lee said the team is aiming to improve perceived darkness with table lighting and brighter LED options while avoiding an overly blue light spectrum, and that seating capacity will be maintained or slightly increased after booths are removed. On IT, Lee said wiring will be concealed behind kickboards rather than installing a raised floor.

Action: A committee member moved to approve the CBAC recommendations for the cafeteria and Governor’s suite. The roll call produced the following votes: Senator Henriksen — yes; Representative Lindsay — yes; Senator Pelton — no; Representative Winter — no; Senator Mullica — yes. The motion passed.

The department will complete construction documents and proceed with open bidding for general contractor selection. The committee did not specify additional reporting requirements in the meeting record; staff confirmed the projects will follow standard state procurement and preservation review steps and remain subject to final cost verification.","The committee approved Capital Building Advisory Committee recommendations to redesign the Capitol Cafeteria for ADA accessibility and to restore historic finishes in the Governor’s Office; projects are in design, funded through previously passed bills, and scheduled to enter construction documents.","actionData","errors"]
