The governmental body financing a public works project shall waive the eighty percent requirement if there is reasonable evidence to demonstrate insufficient Colorado labor to perform the work of the project and if compliance with this article would create an undue burden that would substantially prevent a project from proceeding to completion.

A governmental body shall not impose contractual damages on a contractor for a delay in work due to the waiver process.\n\n(2) Repealed.","path":["Title 8 - LABOR AND INDUSTRY","Article 17 - Colorado Labor on Public Works"],"source_url":"https://olls.info/crs/crs2026-title-08.htm","current_through":"Colorado Revised Statutes 2026","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:37:45Z","sha256":"40c3ad9f85a0c92b567de9c9069ae7f9b33987ebd3733650961ff91c872d1d82","source_id":"us-co","stale":false,"prev":"us-co/c.r.s.-8-17-100.3","next":"us-co/c.r.s.-8-17-102"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
