Top Issues

Construction Defects

AGC will partner with NAIOP to defend the industry from additional construction defect legislation.

Government Mandated Labor Agreements

AGC opposes Government Mandated Labor Agreements on public projects. AGC is actively opposing PLA’s on federal projects in Colorado, including projects by the VA and GSA.

Public Works Project Financing

AGC will fight a proposed amendment to the state constitution that would prohibit the use of COPs to fund public building projects, and fight a proposed state proposition that would repeal the FASTER bill approved last year by the legislature to fund road and bridge construction.

Promote Infrastructure Funding

AGC will promote infrastructure funding (for universities, schools, water, sewer and roads) to both state & local government as a way to grow the market and improve the economy.

Change Orders/Change Directives

AGC will support a state bill to require public agencies to make timely payments on change orders/change directives. AGC will continue collaborating with the City & County of Denver (through the Building Jobs4Colorado Coalition) on improvements to the pay application and change order/change directive process.

Work Comp Insurance

Monitor potential changes to Colorado’s Work Comp system and/or Pinnacol Assurance and oppose anything that will make our system or Pinnacol Assurance less competitive.

Economic Development

Continue to invest in the Denver Metro Economic Development Corporation (MDEDC). AGC Executive Director Michael Gifford sits on the MDEDC Board of Governors to help direct business recruitment and retention efforts and create policies that will help grow the economy.
