Appendix C_Direct Labor Burden Calc (SBP-6.18).docx

This is a Direct Labor Burden Calculation form issued by the State of Colorado Office of the State Architect, State Buildings Program, for the Auraria Higher Education Center Project No. 2020-55P21, titled AHEC HVAC Infrastructure Replacement (Capital Renewal) - Asbestos Abatement for Central Classroom (Project A) and West Classroom (Project B). The form is a required submission prior to execution of the construction agreement and serves to establish the labor overhead percentages that contractors and subcontractors will charge. The document requires detailed breakdown of labor burden components including payroll taxes, pension costs, health insurance, dental insurance, life insurance, and other specified costs as a percentage of total salary. One Labor Burden Calculation Sheet must be submitted for the primary contractor and for each major subcontractor, with categories specified for electricians, plumbers, mechanical contractors, excavators, millwork, concrete, and block layers.

The Labor Burden percentage calculated on this form must be agreed upon by both the contractor and the Principal Representative and will be incorporated into the contract as part of Exhibit A. This agreed-upon percentage will be used in the calculation of any future Change Order Proposals under form SC-6.312. The State of Colorado reserves the right to require backup confirmation and documentation of all information included in the labor burden calculation to ensure accuracy and compliance. The form was issued in August 2023 and includes supporting documentation in the form of an image file, an embedded Microsoft Excel worksheet, and supplementary exhibits for detailed calculations.
