Justification for Temporary or Emergency Rules
2 CCR 601-10
CDOT is updating 2 CCR 601-10 of the passage of HB13-1292, the “Keep Jobs in Colorado Act,” codified at § 24-92-103 et seq., C.R.S., which made modifications to procurement requirements for government contracts, including the evaluation of a Competitive Sealed Best Value Bid (“CSBV”) pursuant to § 24-92-103.5(3), C.R.S.  

House Bill 13-1292 applies to new contracts for which the invitation for bids or the request for proposals was issued on or after January 1, 2014.  Accordingly, pursuant to § 24-4-103(6)(a), C.R.S., immediate adoption of the rules is necessary to comply with this state requirement and that such temporary adoption will result in the preservation of public health, safety, and welfare, and the delay necessitated by the time frame necessary for the adoption of permanent rules is contrary to the public interest.
