The project will rehabilitate two existing sand beds, install a water line for washing the trucks and place asphalt for access to the sand beds from existing asphalt surface. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: None BACKGROUND: Sand beds located on the western portion of the Wastewater Reclamation Facility need to be rehabilitated to allow sand waste and other pollutants from Stormwater Collection Vactor trucks and sand haulers to dry thoroughly via evaporation. Currently, these vehicles dump in a location where drainage from vehicles will not evaporate efficiently which is creating unsightly and unhealthy ponds. The cost breakdown for the project is as follows: Description Sewer Related Surface Related Council District 1 Sand Bed $29,506.85 $39,885.05 2 Rehabilitation Project % 43% 57% The total cost of the project is estimated at $69,391.90, including contingencies FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The cost of the construction project was bid at $69,391.90 with contingencies of $13,878.00. Funds are available from the Sewer User Funds and have been budgeted and appropriated to Project No. 24-111 (WWAN04). BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable` STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: None ALTERNATIVES: Alternative No. 1 - No Action If no rehabilitation is performed on the sand bed drain system, sand waste and other pollutants from Stormwater Collection Vactor trucks and sand haulers would continue to pond and not evaporate efficiently. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Resolution.

It is a violation of the law to perform construction without a license and it is equally a violation to hire someone to perform construction unless the party hired is a licensed contractor or is on the payroll of the company hiring as an employee. Basic license categories are General Contractor A, B, and C; Electrical Contractor, Plumbing Contractor, and HVAC Contractor A and C. In addition, there are Contractor D single trade licenses, which are the type used by the majority of sub-contractors. Those trades requiring licenses include, but are not limited to: Awning Installation Concrete Demolition Drywall Elevators Excavation Framing House Moving Masonry Ornamental Iron Asphalt Paving Roofing Utility Cont. Fire Main Plumbing Lawn Sprinkler Systems Utility Cont. Sewer Utility Cont. Water Siding Sign Erection Stucco Structural Steel U Occupancy (garages, sheds, etc.) Mechanical A Unlimited Mechanical C Limited (any 2 of 3) Mechanical Gas Work Mechanical C Refrigeration Mechanical C Sheet Metal Journeyman Gas Fitter Journeyman Refrigeration Journeyman Sheet Metal Plumbing Swimming Pool Utility Cont.

The City of Pueblo does not issue tax-exempt certificates and deems that all construction type of jobs within the city limits are subject to Sales and Use Tax at the rate of 3.7%. As of March 2015, the City mandates pre-paid Use Tax on projects over $1M. The tax is based on 40% of total project cost. Each and every General and/or Sub-Contractor will need to obtain licensing with the City of Pueblo. An application is available from our office or on the website listed below. Typically contractors are licensed with a Use Tax License. If the applicant is a supplier with a storefront selling material to the contractors then a Sales Tax License will be issued. In either case, the filing frequency will be determined once the application is processed. Upon completion, a license along with the returns will be mailed to the applicant. PLEASE NOTE: if the filing period does not have a tax liability a zero return must befiled. The Tax Guide entitled “Construction Contractors” and FAQ’shas also been attached for assistance in explaining what would be subject to tax and provides scenarios that can be helpful to the construction industry. The website for our office can be found at www.pueblo.us, hover over “Your Government,” then click on “Sales Tax” under “Economic/Community Development.” There you will find the Tax Guides, City of Pueblo Ordinances in their entirety, blank forms such as a return or an application. If further assistance is needed, please phone our office at (719) 553-2659, as our staff would be happy to assist. Page 2 of 6 Appendix B City of Pueblo, Colorado TAX GUIDE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTORS DEFINITION: The term “construction contractor” applies to general contractors and subcontractors and includes all building constructors, highway and road constructors, electrical, plumbing, and heating constructors, excavators, and others engaged in the construction, reconstruction, expansion, alteration, repair, or wrecking of any physical structure that is part of real estate. Business enterprises providing completed units of personal property to be affixed to, installed in or used in conjunction with a structure will notbe regarded as performing work by a contractorif the personal property can be removed: 1.Without substantialdamage to the structure,and 2.Without altering the functional use of thestructure. Business enterprises, as described above, are considered vendors who make retail sales and must charge City of Pueblo Sales Tax on these items if licensed to do so. If the vendor is not licensed to collect City of Pueblo Sales Tax or for any reason fails to do so, then the contractor must pay the tax due as Use Tax. These types of items include, but are not limited to, appliances, storm doors and windows, patio covers, carpeting, pre-fabricated swimming pools, lockers, athletic equipment, toilet partitions,movable partitions, nursery stock, sod or other similar items used in connection with a structure. STATE EXEMPT PROJECTS: The State of Colorado provides an exemption for purchases by contractors of construction and building materials that become permanently affixed to the real property when the owner of the real property is a non- profit school or a governmental, charitable, or religious entity. Pueblo has no such exemption. The contractor may not avoid the payment of the Pueblo Sales or Use Tax by use of provisions in the construction agreement or by use of the name of a tax exempt entity on an invoice or purchase order as the purchaser because the contractor is deemed to be the consumer of the materials used in construction. No exemption certificate issued by the Colorado Department of Revenue, nor any other taxing authority, will be recognized as a basis for exemption from the Sales of Use Tax levied by the City of Pueblo onconstruction materials. CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS: All building materials purchased, usedor consumed in the City of Pueblo are subject to sales or use tax, unless the materials are purchased for resale or by seller holding a valid City of Pueblo Sales Tax License. The general contractor on a project is responsible for the City of Pueblo taxon all material used or consumed on theirproject, including that used by the subcontractors thegeneral contractor employs on the job. If the subcontractor is properly licensed with the City of Pueblo Finance Department, the subcontractor will be liable for theirown taxes. But the general contractor is responsible for the taxes owed by any unlicensed subcontractor they hire. Caution: City of Pueblo Sales Tax paid to a vendor who is not licensed to collect Pueblo Sales Tax does not relieve the contractor of this tax liability until said tax is remitted to the City of Pueblo. Page 3 of 6 Appendix B SALES TAX: 1.Materials delivered by a Pueblo vendor to a construction contractor at a job site or other location in Pueblo are subject to city salestax. 2.Materials picked up inside the City of Pueblo are subject to city sales tax regardless of whether the materials are used inside or outside thecity. 3.Materials delivered by a Pueblo vendor to a location outside the City of Pueblo, for use outside the city, are exempt from city salestax. 4.There is no exemption in the sales tax ordinance for the temporary storage of construction materials in Pueblo. USE TAX: City of Pueblo use tax is due on all materials used, consumed or stored in the city on which City of Pueblo sales tax was not paid. Examples might include the following: 1.For materials purchased outside of Pueblo to be used or stored in Pueblo on which sales tax was legally paid to another municipal corporation, use tax would be due only to the extent that the Pueblo tax exceeds the amount of sales tax paid to the other municipality. Sales tax is legally paid to another municipal corporation only if delivery of the material takes place in thatmunicipality. 2.For material purchased outside Pueblo and delivered into Pueblo either by the vendor or common carrier, the full 3.7% City of Pueblo use tax isdue. 3.If for any reason a licensed vendor fails to charge City of Pueblo sales tax, the contractor as the ultimate user must pay the full usetax. CONSTRUCTION TOOLS & EQUIPMENT: NEW PURCHASES: All purchases of tools, supplies and equipment from a Pueblo licensed vendor that are delivered inside the City of Pueblo are subject to city sales tax. If no Pueblo sales tax was paid, the City Code imposes a use tax on the purchase of tools, supplies and equipment used or received in Pueblo. However, if sales tax was legally paid on a purchase to another Colorado municipality, Pueblo allows a credit for the rate of tax legally paid to another municipality up to the rate of Pueblo’s use tax. USED EQUIPMENT: Machinery and equipment, which has been used prior to being brought into the City of Pueblo, is subject to city use tax on the actual purchase price of the equipment and is due at the time the equipment is first brought into the city. Credit is allowed for the rate of legally imposed sales and use tax previously paid to another municipality up to the rate of city use tax. CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT: Pueblo sales and use tax applies to the purchase or use of construction equipment (cranes, grades, backhoes, bulldozers, welders, etc) in the city. Any equipment owned by a local construction company is subject tocity tax when the equipment is purchased or first brought into the City of Pueblo. Construction companies located outside the city are subject city tax when equipment is brought into Pueblo. EXCEPTION: The City of Pueblo provides a prorated use tax on construction equipment brought into the cityfor a periodofthirty(30) consecutivedaysorlessifthetaxpayerhascompliedwiththeprovisionsof C.R.S. Section 29-2-109. Page 4 of 6 Appendix B MOTOR VEHICLE EXEMPTION: Automotive vehicles (vehicles whose primary purpose is transportation upon public streets) registered and required by law to be registered outside of Pueblo are exempt. Specifically, construction contractors’ pickup trucks and over-the-highway dump trucks, which are based and maintained at a location outside of Pueblo, would not be subject to Pueblo’s sales or use tax. RETAILER-CONTRACTOR: Some contractors as defined above, also may be retail merchants of building supplies or construction materials, which were purchased tax free for resale. In the performance of their own construction contracts they might remove from their own stock whateveris needed for their contract operations. Such use of tax free merchandise is subject to tax in one of the followingways: 1.On time and material type contracts for all now tax exemptentities, sales tax must be charged and remitted on the total retail price charged to thecustomer. 2.On lump sum contracts and all jobs for tax exempt entities, use tax must be paid based on the acquisition cost of themerchandise. Retailer contractors must have a City of Pueblo sales tax license. No sales tax license will be issued to regular contractors. They are not retailers of tangible personal property and are deemed to be users or consumers of all articles they use. MANUFACTURER CONTRACTORS: Manufacturing is defined as “the performance as a business of an integrated series of operations which places personal property in a form, composition or character different from that in which it was acquired whether for sale or use by the manufacturer. The change in form, composition or character must result in a different product having a distinctive name, character and use.” Organizations engaged in the manufacturing of tangible personal property who also perform construction contracts (i.e., permanently affix personal property to real property) are subject to Pueblo tax on the gross value of all materials, labor and services used and employed in the manufacture of the product. FABRICATORS: Shop tasks performed on construction materials, such as cutting, welding, drilling and painting structural steel or cutting, bending and attaching sheet metal pieces into “duct work,” are not regarded as “manufacturing”. Thus, in such cases, fabrication labor is not part of the tax base for a contractor/fabricator. Fabricated labor is part of the tax base when transfer of title to the fabricated item takes place after performance of the fabrication by the retailer/fabricator.
