the contract and for two years thereafter, to cease making, causing to be made, or inducing by any
means, a contribution, directly or indirectly, on behalf of the contract holder or on behalf of his or her

for any elected office of the state or any of its political subdivisions.
Section 17: (1) Every sole source government contract by the state or any of its political
subdivisions shall incorporate article XXVIII, section 15, into the contract. Any person who

learning of such contribution, then that person may be contractually liable in an amount up to the
above restitution.

section 17(2), as contractual damages that contract holder shall be ineligible to hold any sole source
government contract, or public employment with the state or any of its political subdivisions, for three
years. The governor may temporarily suspend any remedy under this section during a declared state
of emergency.
(4) Knowing violation of section 15 or section 17(2) by an elected or appointed official is
grounds for removal from office and disqualification to hold any office of honor, trust or profit in the
state, and shall constitute misconduct or malfeasance.
(5) A registered voter of the state may enforce section 15 or section 17(2) by filing a
complaint for injunctive or declaratory relief or for civil damages and remedies, if appropriate, in the
district court.
(b) This section applies only to sole source government contracts and does not apply to any
contract which used a public and competitive bidding process in which the City solicited at least three bids prior
to awarding the contract.
(c) Contractor certifies, warrants, and agrees that it has complied and will comply with Colorado
Constitution Article XXVIII, including but not necessarily limited to the following prohibitions and obligations:
1. If during the term of the contract, contractor holds sole source government contracts
with the State of Colorado and any of its political subdivisions cumulatively totaling more than
$100,000 in a calendar year, then for the duration of this contract and for two years after,
contractor will not make, cause to be made, or induce by any means a contribution, directly or
indirectly, on behalf of contractor or contractor's immediate family member(s) for the benefit of any
political party or for the benefit of any candidate any elected office of the State or any of its political
subdivisions; and
2. Contractor represents that contractor has not previously made or caused to be made,

contemporaneously provide a copy of such report(s) to City's Purchasing Agent; and
4. Contractor understands that any breach of this section or of Contractor's
responsibilities under Colorado Constitution Article XXVIII may result in either contractual or
constitutionally mandated penalties and remedies; and
5. A Contractor that intentionally violates Colorado Constitution Article XXVIII,
Section 15 or 17(2), shall be ineligible to hold any sole source government contract, or public
(C: \DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\LINDA SANDOVAL \LOCAL SETTINGS \TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES \OLK8 \HGF - CITY HALL RENOVATIONS -
AUG 2009.DOC)
-14-
employment with the state or any of its political subdivisions for three years; and

FEE SCHEDULE
PROJECT NO. 09 -072, FY 2009 ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES
CITY HALL INTERIOR RENOVATIONS
It is our understanding that State LEED requirements will not apply to this project. City Hall is a
designated historic building and is therefore exempt from compliance with the State of Colorado
High Performance Certification Program. This particular program is mandated through the Office of
the State Architect which works in conjunction with the Governor's Energy Office.
We propose reimbursable expenses to include printing of plans and specifications as follows:
Project Manuals — composing, assembling, printing = .07 /page
Plans — Includes plotting, assembling, binding = $1.50 /page
If this project can be distributed to contractors digitally (CD's or City Website, etc.) this cost will be
substantially lower because printing will be done by each contractor and subcontractor bidding the
project.
