Description
This case presents the issue of whether the written results of telephone interviews with the references of a bidder on a municipal construction project, memorialized in notes on pre-printed questionnaire forms, are "letters of reference concerning employment" for the purposes of the Colorado Open Records Act (Act). See §§ 24-72-201 to -206, 10B C.R.S. (1988 & 1996 Supp.). Dogan Construction Company, Inc. (Dogan), a bidder on a large construction project for the City of Westminster (City), brought an action seeking to compel the City to permit inspection of questionnaires that the City had used to record the results of telephone interviews conducted by the City's engineers with the bidder's references. The district court consolidated the case with the City's own action seeking a determination that it could properly deny access to such questionnaires, and the district court then held that the City could withhold the forms from inspection by Dogan pursuant to the statutory disclosure requirement exception for "letters of reference concerning employment." § 24-72-204(3)(a), 10B C.R.S. (1988). The Colorado Court of Appeals reversed, holding that the questionnaire forms were not "letters of reference" within the meaning of that statutory exception. City of Westminster v. Dogan Constr. Co., 914 P.2d 455, 458 (Colo. App. 1995). We granted certiorari and now reverse the judgment of the court of appeals and remand the case to that court with directions to reinstate the judgment of the district court.
