The board shall prioritize awarding grants designated to address the transition from leaded aviation gasoline to unleaded aviation gasoline to airports with significant general aviation traffic in urban and suburban areas where surrounding communities may be disproportionately impacted by such traffic. If the board does not receive grant applications equaling at least the amount designated by the board pursuant to this subsection (2)(b) in any given year, the board may use the remainder of this funding for other aviation purposes.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (2)(h) of this section, money shall not be expended from the fund for a grant awarded pursuant to this section or otherwise to an airport that the division has identified as being located in a densely populated residential area or as having a significant number of flights over a densely populated residential area unless the airport or entity operating the airport demonstrates to the satisfaction of the division that:

(I) By January 1, 2026, it has adopted a plan for phasing out sales of leaded aviation gasoline at the airport by January 1, 2030, with execution of the plan in accordance with FAA and federal environmental protection agency requirements or other relevant federal guidance; and

(II) It has established, in consultation with flight schools and pilots that regularly use the airport, a voluntary noise abatement plan, with execution of the noise abatement plan in accordance with FAA and federal environmental protection agency requirements or other relevant federal guidance, so that aircraft noise is not a significant public nuisance and does not cause significant adverse impacts to the health, safety, and welfare of individuals residing near the airport. The division shall develop guidelines for the establishment of effective voluntary noise abatement plans that must include, at a minimum:

(A) Publication of noise abatement plans among all airport operators; and

(B) Noise abatement plan elements, including, but not limited to, a voluntary curfew on when flights may depart from the airport; voluntary guidelines on the number of flights that may depart from the airport within specified periods; and voluntary guidelines on the frequency of touch and go flights during which an aircraft touches down on a runway and then immediately accelerates and takes off again without stopping.

(d) (I) Noise abatement plans developed in accordance with subsection (2)(c)(II) of this section must be properly posted at each airport.

(II) Each airport shall conduct meetings with the airport's flight schools, fuel operators, and pilots who commonly fly out of the airport on a regular basis to inform the parties of the noise abatement procedures and how they might comply with such procedures.

(III) Each airport shall create and post on its website an internal communications plan detailing how they intend to ensure that their noise abatement plan is well understood and available to all aircraft operators.

(e) Noise abatement plans developed in accordance with subsection (2)(c)(II) of this section must be submitted to the FAA and are not contingent on FAA approval.

(f) If an airport or an entity operating an airport has one or more avigation easements in place, the airport or entity must certify in writing for each grant application that the airport or entity is in compliance with all the easements.

(g) An airport or an entity operating an airport must certify in writing for each grant application that the airport or entity is in compliance with all applicable federal laws and regulations.

(h) The limitation on the expenditure of money from the fund set forth in subsection (2)(c) of this section does not apply to money expended for an aviation project that is for an international airport or that is determined by the division to be directly utilized towards the transition from leaded aviation gasoline to unleaded aviation gasoline, including but not limited to improvements, additions, and modifications described in section 43-10-102 (3)(a)(IX) to (3)(a)(XII), for the health, safety, and welfare of individuals who reside near the airport at which the aviation project will be completed.

(3) (Deleted by amendment, L. 2009, (HB 09-1066), ch. 82, p. 302, § 3, effective August 5, 2009.)

(4) Repealed.

(5) In addition to grants authorized pursuant to subsection (2) of this section, the division itself may be a recipient of a state aviation system grant, but only for purposes of implementing a statewide aviation project that would not otherwise be implemented by an entity operating an FAA-designated public-use airport. Any application for such a grant shall be submitted to the governor's office for review and recommendation prior to a final decision. The governor shall accomplish his review and recommendation within thirty days of submittal of the proposal by the board. The board shall make final decisions on the awarding of grants to the division for a statewide aviation project subject to the availability of moneys in the statewide aviation fund created in section 43-10-109.

43-1-1406. General procedures
Status: in_force

43-1-1406. General procedures. (1) The department shall describe in the specifications for the transportation project the particular design-build contract and selection procedures to be used in awarding such contract, including but are not limited to the following:

(a) A scope of work statement that defines the transportation project and provides prospective design-build firms with sufficient information regarding the department's requirements for the transportation project;

(b) If the department uses an adjusted score design-build contract process to select a design-build firm, a scope of work statement that is flexible and that identifies the end result that the department wants to achieve. The department may determine the adjustment factors and methods it will use to adjust scores and shall state such factors and methods in the specifications for the transportation project. The department may also provide a general concept of the transportation project to potential design-build firms. Adjusted score design-build procedures shall consist of the following two phases:

(I) In the first phase, the department shall issue a request for qualifications within the time specified in section 43-1-1405 to solicit proposals that include information on the design-build firm's qualifications and its technical approach to the proposed transportation project. The department shall include appropriate evaluation factors in the request for qualifications, including the factors set forth in section 24-30-1403 (2), C.R.S. The department shall not include cost-related or price-related factors in the request for qualifications. In accordance with the time requirements specified in the department's rules, the department shall develop a short list of the highest qualified design-build firms from the proposals submitted in response to the request for qualifications.

(II) In the second phase, the department shall issue a request for proposals to the design-build firms included on the short list developed pursuant to subparagraph (I) of this paragraph (b) in accordance with the time requirements specified in the department's rules. The request for proposals shall include:

(A) A request to separately submit a sealed technical proposal and a sealed cost proposal for the transportation project;

(B) The required content of the technical proposal to be submitted by the design-build firm, including design concepts for the transportation project, the proposed solutions to the requirements addressed in the department's scope of work statement, or both;

(C) Any other evaluation factors the department considers appropriate, including the estimated cost of the transportation project; and

(D) Any formula the department determines is appropriate to adjust the total score of a design-build firm's proposal.

(2) Except as provided in this subsection (2), the department shall allow the preference to Colorado residents provided in section 24-103-908 in awarding an adjusted score design-build contract pursuant to this part 14. In evaluating and selecting a proposal for a design-build contract under this part 14, the department shall assign greater value to a proposal in proportion to the extent such proposal commits to using Colorado residents to perform work on the transportation project. If, however, the department determines that compliance with this subsection (2) may cause the denial of federal moneys that would otherwise be available for the transportation project or if such compliance would otherwise be inconsistent with the requirements of federal law, the department shall suspend the preference granted under this subsection (2) only to the extent necessary to prevent denial of federal moneys or to eliminate the inconsistency with federal law.

(3) The department may use any basis for awarding a design-build contract pursuant to this part 14 that it deems appropriate so long as the basis for awarding such contract is adequately described in the specifications for the transportation project or the request for proposals. Such basis may include awarding a contract to the design-build firm whose proposal provides the best value to the department.

(4) The department may cancel any request for qualifications, request for proposals, or other solicitation issued pursuant to this part 14 or may reject any or all proposals in whole or in part when the department determines that such cancellation or rejection is in the best interest of the department.

(5) If the department awards a design-build contract pursuant to this part 14, the department shall execute a design-build contract with the successful design-build firm and shall give notice to said firm to commence work on the transportation project.

Status: in_force

43-1-1410. Utility relocation - legislative declaration. (1) The general assembly hereby finds and declares that:

(a) The department is authorized by law to use a design-build process for transportation projects that allows for the improved coordination, scheduling, and timely performance of transportation projects, resulting in time and cost efficiency;

(b) The scheduling and timely performance of design-build transportation projects partially depend upon the coordination with utility companies for the prompt performance of utility relocation work necessitated by the project;

(c) Increased coordination between the department and utility companies is in the public interest and the encouragement and requirement of prompt performance of utility relocation work within the design-build transportation project performance schedule will reduce delays and costs of the projects;

(d) The preferred approach for utility relocation work in a design-build transportation project is for the utility company to authorize the department's design-build contractor to engage the services of the utility company's prequalified contractors for the design and construction of the relocation work because it places the responsibility for the timely performance of the utility relocation work on the design-build contractor and removes the risk of utility relocation delays from multiple utility companies;

(e) Current law limits the department's authority in relation to payment for utility relocation, and nothing in this part 14 is intended to alter the department's obligation to pay for utility relocations pursuant to section 43-1-225 or to pay for utility relocations when utility facilities are located on easements owned by the utility;

(f) Allowing the department to fund the design of the utility relocation work necessitated by a design-build transportation project will foster the coordination of the utility relocation work, which is in the public interest;

(g) In the interest of the public, the department, the design-build contractor, and the utility company should coordinate their efforts, perform the utility relocation work in accordance with the design-build transportation project performance schedule, and allocate the responsibility for any damages caused by a party's failure to timely perform the relocation work, except when such failure is due to a force majeure;

(h) The review and approval of the utility company of any design work prior to the commencement of any utility relocation construction in relation to a design-build transportation project will assure that such work meets the quality standards and construction methods of the utility company. The department also recognizes the obligation of utility companies to maintain service to their customers, and the department agrees to work within utility company terms and conditions to maintain service continuity.

(i) For purposes of design-build transportation projects, allowing the department to provide and condemn, when necessary, a replacement easement for a utility company to relocate its facilities when the utility company's facilities are located in an easement owned by the utility company and to pay for the future relocation of a utility company's facilities if no replacement easement is provided is in the public interest.
