Appendix C Sample Direct Labor Burden Calculation.pdf

This document is a Direct Labor Burden Calculation Form (State Form SBP-6.18) issued by the State of Colorado Office of the State Architect, State Buildings Program, for use by the Colorado Department of Corrections Facility Management Services on Project 2026-012P25, the DRDC Fire Protection System Replacement. The form is a required submission for review prior to execution of a construction agreement and establishes the methodology for calculating labor overhead costs that will be incorporated into the contract as part of Exhibit A and used for any future change order proposals. The form requires contractors and major subcontractors (including electricians, plumbers, mechanical contractors, excavators, millwork, concrete, and block layers) to itemize their direct labor burden as a percentage of salary, including benefits such as payroll taxes, pension costs, health insurance, dental insurance, life insurance, and other specified costs. A separate Labor Burden Calculation Sheet must be submitted for each contractor and subcontractor.

The Labor Burden percentage must be mutually agreed upon by both the contractor and the Principal Representative before incorporation into the contract. The state reserves the right to require backup confirmation and documentation of all information included in the calculation. The form provided is a blank template with zero percent entered as the total labor burden percentage, indicating this is a sample or preliminary document awaiting completion by the contracting parties. This standardized approach ensures consistency in change order pricing and provides transparency regarding labor cost components throughout the project execution.
