Sole source contracts. Amendments to sole source contracts that would change the original scope of the Contract may only be made with the approval of the CPO. Annual renewal of a sole source contract for services should not be submitted as an amendment.
Sole source contracts. To the extent this contract may be construed to be a “sole source contract” within the meaning of sections 15 through 17 of Article XXVIII of the Colorado Constitution, and to the extent these constitutional provisions have not been enjoined or invalidated by a court of competent jurisdiction, the requirements and limitations of these constitutional provisions are hereby incorporated in this contract. By: Xxxxx Xxxxx, Chairman Attest: Deputy Clerk and Recorder By: Printed name Title: , (“Contractor” herein) acknowledges that Contractor has been notified of the immigration compliance requirements of C.R.S. § 8-17.5-101, et.seq.

Sole source contracts. If the Contractor has entered into a sole source contract or contracts with the State of Colorado or any of its political subdivisions as defined in Article XXVIII of the Colorado Constitution which including this contract in the aggregate on an annual basis are equal to or exceed the amount of $100,000, then to the extent that Article XXVIII has not been enjoined or invalidated by a court of competent jurisdiction, the following provisions apply:
(1) Because of a presumption of impropriety between contributions to any campaign and sole source government contracts, contract holder (defined in Article XXVIII of the Colorado Constitution to include any non- governmental party to a sole source government contract, any person who controls ten percent or more shares or interest in that party, and that party’s officers, directors and trustees) shall contractually agree, for the duration of 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 immediate family member and for the benefit of any political party or for the benefit of any candidate for any elected office of the state or any of its political subdivisions.
(2) Any person who makes or causes to be made any contribution intended to promote or influence the result of an election on a ballot issue, shall not be qualified to enter into a sole source government contract relating to that particular ballot issue.
(3) If contract holder intentionally violates sections 15 or 17(2) of Article XXVIII of the Colorado Constitution (subsections (1) and (2) above), as contractual damages 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 sub-section during a declared state of emergency.
Sole source contracts. To the extent this contract may be construed to be a “sole source contract” within the meaning of sections 15 through 17 of Article XXVIII of the Colorado Constitution, and to the extent these constitutional provisions have not been enjoined or invalidated by a court of competent jurisdiction, the requirements and limitations of these constitutional provisions are hereby incorporated in this contract.
Sole source contracts. [This section shall only apply if this is a sole source contract or contract with the State of Colorado and exceeds $100,000.00 annually.]
a. Because of a presumption of impropriety between contributions to any campaign and sole source government contracts, Contractor, on behalf of itself , any person who controls ten percent or more of the shares of or interest in the Contractor, and the Contractor’s officers, directors and trustees (collectively, the “Contract Holder”) shall contractually agree, for the duration of 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 Contractor Holder or on behalf of his or her immediate family member and for the benefit of any political party or for the benefit of any candidate for any elected office of the state or any of its political subdivisions.
b. The parties further agree that if a Contract Holder makes or causes to be made any contribution intended to promote or influence the result of an election on a ballot issue, the Contract Holder shall not be qualified to enter into a sole source government contract relating to that particular ballot issue.
c. The parties agree that if a Contract Holder intentionally violates sections 15 or 17(2) of Article XXVIII of the Colorado Constitution, 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.
d. These provisions shall not apply to the extent they have been enjoined or invalidated by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Sole source contracts a. Sole-source contracts in excess of the micro-purchase threshold should be rare. Potential justifications include 200.320(f)(1), only one source has the goods or is able to perform the service, 200.320(f)(2), an emergency, 200.320(f)(3) EPA approval, or 200.320(f)(4) after soliciting a number of sources the recipient reasonably decided competition was inadequate.
b. EPA’s general policy is to require competition in accordance with the Procurement Standards in the UGG for commercially available items (including consulting services). EPA recommends that recipients consult with EPA prior to making sole source procurements. Situations in which EPA may approve sole source contracts are generally limited to those in which a patent, copyright, or equipment maintenance agreement with the manufacturer are in place; the service or product demonstrates that an item is available from only one firm; or there is an emergency (e.g. a natural disaster) that precludes competitive contracting. Recipients who procure sole source contracts without EPA approval do so at their own risk.
c. EPA staff may not suggest, recommend or direct recipients to hire particular firms or individuals.
d. EPA does not require recipients to identify contractors in proposals. The fact that a recipient has named a contractor in its proposal as a “partner” or otherwise does not in and of itself justify a sole-source award. If, at any time, EPA finds that a sole-source contract does not comply with EPA’s interpretation of the UGG, EPA may disallow all or part of the cost of the contract as provided at 2 CFR 200.338.
1. Fixed-price contracts. Fixed-price contracts are used when there will likely be effective competition based on a complete product description and clear plans and specifications. As provided at 2 CFR 200.320(c), recipients must use fixed price contracts in sealed bid situations. Recipients may use fixed priced contracts in other situations as well.
a. There should not be any significant technical or engineering unknowns.
b. The contractor furnishes the goods or services for the fixed -price, and so assumes significant risk. Profit is not typically stated or negotiated separately.
2. Cost -reimbursable contracts. You should use a cost -reimbursement contract when it is not feasible to award a fixed price contract.
a. The contractor's cost and profit are typically negotiated separately. The contractor satisfactorily completes only the amount of work equivalent to the estimated cost to...
