Chapter 10 - § 10.7 RAILROAD AND IRRIGATION PROJECTS
Jurisdiction | Colorado |
Railroad, reservoir, and canal company contracts have their own statutes and remedies dedicated to them at C.R.S. §§ 38-26-102 through -104. These contracts rarely come up, but the statutory remedies are similar to the bonding and verified statement of claim requirements found in C.R.S. §§ 38-26-105 through -107. However, the notice requirements and timing requirements are vastly different from those found in C.R.S. §§ 38-26-105 through -107, and therefore a thorough reading of the statutes is required.
The leading case regarding these statutes is Olson v. Model Land & Irrigation Co.65
The statutes are set out below for review.

If any such railroad, reservoir, or irrigation canal company fails to take such bond, such company shall be liable to the persons mentioned to the full extent of all such debts so contracted by such contractor or any of his or her subcontractors. Any such contractor may take a similar bond from each of his or her subcontractors to secure the payment of all debts of the kind mentioned incurred by such contractor and file the same.
(2) All such persons mentioned in this section to whom any debt of the kind mentioned is due from any such contractor or subcontractor shall severally have a right of action upon any such bond covering such debt taken as provided for the recovery of the full amount of such debt.
