Your take on this project

How well does this project use public money?
Your rating and comment help show which projects residents see as a good use of public money, and which as a poor one.

A rating here is not a vote, a scientific poll or a message to your representative.

Your rating is kept with no name, and it is never published on this site.

How we use this
Your rating is stored without your name, address or any identifier. We count it into a total, so the people who govern this place can see how residents read their spending. No rating and no total is published on this site. We may publish summaries of what residents tell us about a place. Those are our own writing, never your rating and never a count, average or distribution of anybody's. Ratings and comments are grouped into themes that show elected leaders how residents rate each project.

Latest public update

The $86.2M is our arithmetic on two figures stated together on page 8 of the Legislative Council Staff memorandum on major IT capital construction projects, written for the Joint Technology Committee in December 2022: $57.8M of cash-funds spending authority for phases one and two across FY 2016-17, FY 2017-18 and FY 2018-19, and $28.4M more in FY 2021-22 to finish the work and replace the tax system. $57.8M + $28.4M = $86.2M. No FY 2026-27 IT-capital line remains — UI modernization has shifted into CDLE's operating budget as 'Technology Initiatives': $30,459,436/yr with 74 dedicated staff, paid by the employer-funded UI Program Support Fund. The project has effectively become a permanent program.

ANALYSIS
  • What are the measured improvements in claim-processing time and fraud detection?

Total cost and spending
Capital money appropriated$86.2M

Our sum of the capital appropriations an official record states together: $57.8M + $28.4M = $86.2M. It is not the project’s total cost, and no record we hold prints one. It is drawn from the official record(s) listed below.

Spend-to-date: not published. Colorado does not publish what it has spent on this project, so this field is left blank rather than estimated. TOPS, the state’s spending ledger, has no project field, so it cannot show what was spent on one project.

Milestones (2)

Where this comes from: award announcements and project records from CDOT, FHWA, agencies and the legislature’s nonpartisan staff — each Record link opens the source. Paid-to-date shows only published figures (green = verified); everything else stays PENDING, because the state does not publish payments project by project. Political giving links open TRACER, the Secretary of State’s official campaign-finance database, where contribution records are searchable by name — contributions are legal and public, and a search link implies no wrongdoing by anyone.
