Representative Pelton,

by the Department of Transportation (CDOT) that are subject to the Construction
Bidding for Public Projects Act. Currently, CDOT is subject to the

the amount to $500,000. In addition, the bill raises the project
cost amount for which CDOT must obtain Transportation Commission approval

that CDOT pay local prevailing wages on specified federal acts to projects
that cost more than $500,000.
