JUDGE J. JONES

specially concurring.

{138 I concur in the majority's Judgment in full On the question of the concrete company's entitlement to an award of so-called "fees-on-fees," however, my reasons for concluding that the concrete company is entitled to such an award differ from those given by the majority. I conclude that the relevant statutory provision, subsection 10-3-1116(1), C.R.S. 2012, provides for an award of attorney fees as "costs," not "damages." Under our case law applying other fee-shifting provisions, it follows that the concrete company is entitled to an award of fees-on-fees.
