Colorado State Prevailing Wage Law

State law: None currently in effect

Colorado does not have a statewide prevailing wage law for state-funded construction, but the City and County of Denver, Boulder, and a handful of other municipalities have adopted local prevailing wage ordinances on their own contracts. Federal Davis-Bacon still applies to federally funded projects throughout the state.

Verify before relying on this: state prevailing-wage laws change. The summary above is a general reference compiled from publicly available state-law materials and is not legal advice. Confirm the current status with the cited state agency or a qualified attorney before bidding or paying workers under it.

Federal contracts ≥ $2,000 in Colorado must comply with the Davis-Bacon Act. Full compliance guide →
