Officials: CDOT funds back this sidewalk, Buy America will apply; Davis-Bacon does not
Summary
The project incorporates CDOT specifications and state funding; county staff said Davis-Bacon wage rules do not apply, DBE goals are suspended and Buy America/Build America requirements apply because the project goes through CDOT.
County staff confirmed the IFB includes CDOT specifications and that the project is funded through state/CDOT sources. A commissioner asked, "Is it funded by CDOT?" and staff confirmed that it is. Later, a county/agency participant said explicitly, "No. The no Davis Bacon wages on this. It's all state funds," and noted DBE goals are suspended and there are no OJT goals for this smaller project.
When asked about Buy America/Build America applicability, the participant said: "Since it is going through CDOT, there will be buy America, build America." County staff also confirmed that any required CDOT right-of-way or permitting approvals will be the contractor's responsibility.
