Appendix C_Sample Direct Labor Burden Calculation_CAVEA Lighting MSU Denver.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 CAVEA Lighting project at Metropolitan State University of Denver (Project No. 26PR05). The form requires contractors and major subcontractors to document their labor overhead costs as a percentage of total labor, including expenses such as payroll taxes, pension costs, health and dental insurance, life insurance, and other benefits paid to employees. The labor burden percentage must be agreed upon by both the contractor and the Principal Representative prior to contract execution and will be incorporated into the contract as part of Exhibit A. The calculation will be used for any future Change Order Proposals submitted under SC-6.312 Line 2 for the prime contractor and Line 10 for major subcontractors including electricians, plumbers, mechanical contractors, excavators, millwork, and concrete contractors.

The form requires submission of one Labor Burden Calculation Sheet per contractor and for each subcontractor involved in the project. The State of Colorado reserves the right to require backup documentation and verification of all information included in the labor burden calculations. The document includes a blank calculation template with line items for payroll taxes, pension costs, health insurance, dental insurance, life insurance, and other specified costs, with a total labor burden percentage field. The form was issued in August 2023 under State Form SBP-6.18.
