Tom Kerik, director of the Public‑Private Partnership Unit at the Department of Personnel and Administration, described the site as approximately 14.4 acres of developable land and said the department has issued a request for qualifications (RFQ) and is conducting site and infrastructure studies. Kerik said the state will retain ownership of a flex parcel and a 99‑year ground lease with annual payments is expected in a typical structure. \"What I'm asking you to approve today is the P3 agreement structure, the baselines, the guidelines that we're definitely looking to sign with them,\" Kerik said. He described two baseline points the department seeks: at least 80 affordable units meeting Low‑Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) rules and a 99‑year ground lease in which initial ground payments typically start around year five.

Kerik said the department expects to close the RFQ on May 9, 2025, select a developer around June 9, 2025, enter a predevelopment agreement to finalize feasibility and then a development agreement. He told the committee he expects to have \"shovels in the ground by the first half of 2027,\" and said preliminary studies suggest up to about 320 total units could be feasible on the site.

Committee members pressed for more specificity on affordability percentages and ground‑lease economics. Senator Malika asked why the department proposed a floor of 80 affordable units rather than a percentage of total units; Kerik said he expects more than 80 affordable units but put a fixed minimum in the RFQ to encourage a range of proposals because the total unit count is not yet fixed. On ground‑lease revenue, Kerik said a typical market starting point is roughly 2–4% of the appraised land value as an initial annual ground‑lease payment, subject to negotiation during predevelopment.

Legislative staff and department officials clarified the committee's oversight role. Mr. Pogue of Legislative Council staff read statutory language explaining the committee \"shall review the report submitted by the department, make recommendations to the Department concerning the anticipated use of the unused state owned real property, and approve or disapprove the anticipated use of the unused state owned real property.\" Seth Ford, legislative liaison for the Department of Personnel Administration, said the department regularly reports P3 projects in the SMART Act and that the committee could request to see a final lease before the department signs it.

Officials listed advisory firms the department has engaged to inform negotiations and underwriting: KPMG, AECOM and Ballard Spahr. Kerik said the department expects proposals to use LIHTC financing and that ground‑lease payments often begin after project construction and occupancy because financing and tax‑credit structures require a completed, leased project before payments begin.

A motion to approve the department's anticipated use of the Lakewood Complex for redevelopment through a P3 passed unanimously. The clerk recorded the vote: Senator Henriksen — Yes; Representative Lindsay — Yes; Senator Pelton — Aye; Representative Winter — Yes; Senator Mullica — Yes; Madam Chair — Yes.

Committee members said they want the department to return with the final lease terms for committee review prior to execution or otherwise provide updates during subsequent SMART Act reporting.

Next steps described by staff include closing the RFQ in May, developer selection in June, completion of predevelopment agreements and negotiation of lease and development agreements during the remainder of 2025 and 2026, with construction beginning as early as the first half of 2027.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Capital Development Committee [Mar 20, 2025]","oneSentenceSummary","The Capital Development Committee unanimously approved the Department of Personnel and Administration's request to pursue a public–private partnership to redevelop state‑owned parcels at the Lakewood Complex, including 1881 Pierce Street, with a baseline of at least 80 affordable units and a 99‑year ground lease structure.","taxTitle","Capital Development Committee, YEAR-ROUND COMMITTEES, Committees, Legislative, Colorado","taxId",25609,"location","Colorado","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6110558,"Staff present draft CDC bill updating procedures on chair elections, project submittals, encumbrance extensions and reporting",392,3068000,3460000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2757572-8348b786f9a92f77dce090ab7edb74d7&start=3068&end=3460","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2757572-8348b786f9a92f77dce090ab7edb74d7/thumbnail_3068000.jpg","/articles/6110558/Colorado/Staff-present-draft-CDC-bill-updating-procedures-on-chair-elections-project-submittals-encumbrance-extensions-and-reporting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6110558-877dc8b6fd2806313a6ea87fb4e4c09e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770795768&Signature=c~I708FF6tP9JoZH5jFU9lwLGTKafVaxodHfh5n~LFN-aSnzy5IaHz9X1UyiYu03MXOZR~sZ4VuNl6uZ3BTnG~yUk8rLsvSRilWtBmAwns3nl388IeXR3-4oZHf7WrH0isrAGrknOgG2HzDtCNjLPBhZ1DNwq9zgtk3X26gx~IB1SDgmjHGfHu1WF4rHxonhqwfxpWnW3WPiotko851eXqq1SJTxTVGktANjY5pMWFRFrriuV2RRjfFdGtCglzJj2WcNnbD3q3sWbkJRsHUgdSIpQce9tfjfm9r9Z8vXLIQnox~C8vxFvKddPPi-URYD68ify7yOnnbdtrbqtFP1Rg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Megan McCall of the Office of Legislative Legal Services presented a draft bill that incorporates recommended changes from Capital Development Committee staff, based on the memorandum dated Jan. 28, 2025. McCall summarized the draft and answered committee questions.

McCall said the draft is organized into discrete sections tied to the staff memorandum. Key changes described to the committee included:

• Section 1 — clarifies and simplifies the process for election of the chair and vice chair.

• Section 2 — removes a requirement for an annual submittal by the Department of Transportation (CDOT) while preserving CDC review when CDOT elects to submit project requests.

• Section 3 — updates the statutory review process for projects from state institutions of higher education to align statute with current practice. McCall described this as one of the more substantive sections of the draft.

• Section 4 — changes the due date for the state treasurer's report on higher education bond matters from September to March to allow more up‑to‑date data.

• Section 5 — replaces an existing waiver process for encumbrances with an extension process to give CDC clearer oversight and sets a fixed deadline for certain encumbrance actions.

• Section 6 — adjusts an OSPB priority update due date from January 1 to January 2 for clarity around holiday timing.

• Section 7 — allows greater flexibility for waiver requests under the Art in Public Places program when presented to the committee.

• Section 8 — clarifies spending authority for supplemental appropriations, specifying that agencies have the remainder of the fiscal year and the next two full fiscal years to encumber funds following a supplemental appropriation.

McCall told the committee staff will continue coordination with other stakeholders and that committee members can expect follow‑up discussion at the next meeting. Committee members indicated they wanted to \"shop around\" the draft with other entities and planned to revisit the bill at the next scheduled meeting.

No committee motion or vote was recorded on the draft during the meeting.","Office of Legislative Legal Services staff presented a draft bill that incorporates Capital Development Committee staff recommendations to clarify committee procedures, timing and reporting across multiple sections of statute.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6110568,"Capital Development Committee approves ADA upgrades to Capitol cafeteria, historic restoration of Governor's Suite",1044,159000,1203000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2757572-8348b786f9a92f77dce090ab7edb74d7&start=159&end=1203","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2757572-8348b786f9a92f77dce090ab7edb74d7/thumbnail_159000.jpg","/articles/6110568/Colorado/Capital-Development-Committee-approves-ADA-upgrades-to-Capitol-cafeteria-historic-restoration-of-Governors-Suite","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6110568-a32c6029f93de7a09b10d8013d3a16b0/orig.mp4?Expires=1770795768&Signature=fKZAj17ePSxa~~-iN8gaVcJMhPWJuUN0AghGWEIGyU6rqSVhHQunwfbZjqCO4YKWModdeAZ0bPupEpMEhdRtZZliO3r5ev2Ft49PE4RU0PRdhhIjqxJDyXuXE6qULmcwSSY-USx42iN-9ruHw2AAxsgjQHEApXAyq-yotaXKgAd7ItCY2YwwzaAfPUa5r7TsDgROlGBCTnR5yK5FJNKp48uYsPiAWrmLNfzT1goVLSlckGhyRFcbr~28ml24tYYc9-kB-Tf35xkubEvo7UU8ECfb45HBVL3HHAcJI9hJJGz1i8uYXUdWTrKkPEhRBIxlaGmf26OAIt-NYPzOjRLdTQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Capital Development Committee voted to approve recommendations from the Capital Building Advisory Committee to remodel the ground‑level Capitol cafeteria for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility and to undertake a historic restoration of the Governor's Suite. The committee approved the recommendation by a 4–2 vote.

Richard Lee, division director for the Capital Complex in the Division of Capital Assets, told the committee the cafeteria and Governor's Suite projects are in the design and development phase and were added under Senate Bill 22,239 and Senate Bill 24,206. \"The ADA upgrades will start with the remodel of the ground level cafe,\" Lee said, and construction for the cafeteria is anticipated to begin in June 2025 with completion in the fall of 2025.

The cafeteria remodel will remove booths and reconfigure seating to improve public and vendor accessibility, add new millwork, lighting and electrical to support technology needs, and provide USB charging at tables. Lee said the planned layout is intended to meet current ADA codes and that the cafeteria will not include cooking of hot foods that could trigger fire alarms. \"Everything will be upgraded to meet current codes of ADA,\" Lee said.

Lawmakers asked questions about details of the design and finishes. Senator Pelton asked whether receptacles would be provided at the overhead table lighting for people working there; Lee replied, \"We are gonna have USB charging on those... I can certainly follow‑up and get back to you on that.\" Representative Lindsey asked whether reconfiguring seating would change capacity and whether lighting would make the area brighter. Lee said seating will not be reduced and that the project team is exploring brighter LED options for sconces while adding table lighting to offset the area's current dimness.

On the Governor's Suite, Lee said investigators are removing non‑historic paneling and drop ceilings added in the 1970s, documenting finishes and using archival photographs to guide restoration. He described investigative work above the dropped ceilings to identify historic paint, stenciling or original wood flooring that can be refurbished. Lee noted the design team is coordinating with History Colorado on artifacts and reuse. The office will also receive IT and wiring upgrades to clean up cables running across floors.

Committee members pressed for cost clarity. Lee said the funding flows from amounts authorized in Senate Bill 22,239 and Senate Bill 24,206 and that, \"within the addle payments, I believe it was roughly 1,000,000, was allocated for the cafeteria and a couple million, if I remember, for the governor's office,\" adding the projects are currently on budget in design and cost‑verification phases.

A motion to approve the CBAC recommendations was made and the clerk polled the members. The recorded vote was: Senator Henriksen — Yes; Representative Lindsay — Yes; Senator Pelton — No; Representative Winter — No; Senator Mullica — Yes; Madam Chair — Yes. The motion carried 4–2.

The committee asked staff to keep members informed as final construction documents and contractor selection proceed.

Details on timeline, final contract awards and any adjustments to scope will return to the committee as those items are finalized.","The Capital Development Committee approved recommendations from the Capital Building Advisory Committee to remodel the Capitol cafeteria for ADA accessibility and to perform a historic restoration of the Governor's Suite.
