Vendor Offset Opinion
No. 00-1

) AG ALPHA: NR WC AGAWG
)
January 3, 2000

This Opinion responds to a May 14, 1999 request from the Colorado Water
Conservation Board (CWCB) on whether the vendor offset requirements of Sections 24-
30-202(1) and 24-30-202.4(3), C.R.S. (1999) must be included in CWCB contracts with
federal, state and local government agencies.
QUESTION PRESENTED AND CONCLUSION
Issue: Do the vendor offset requirements of Section 24-30-202(1), C.R.S. (1999) apply to
CWCB contracts with federal, state and local government agencies?
Conclusion: No. While the legislative history does not indicate whether the General
Assembly intended the vendor offset system to apply to governments, application of the
principles of statutory construction supports the conclusion that the vendor offset system
does not apply to federal, state and local government agencies.
