Appendix C - SBP-6.18 Labor Burden.docx

This document is an Appendix C Labor Burden Calculation form from the State of Colorado Office of the State Architect, specifically for the Department of Local Affairs and two related projects at the Fort Lyon Campus in Bent County. The form is designed to detail labor burden percentages for contractors and subcontractors, requiring a breakdown of payroll expenses such as taxes, pension costs, health and dental insurance, and other employee benefits. The projects involve life safety and code improvements for multiple buildings (4, 5, 6, 8, 401, 3, 201, and 221) at the historic Fort Lyon campus, which previously served as a Navy Hospital, a Colorado Department of Corrections facility, and is now transitioning to supportive housing for homeless veterans.

The labor burden calculation is a critical component of the contract process, with the state reserving the right to request verification of the submitted information. The form indicates that the calculated labor burden will be used in future change order proposals and must be mutually agreed upon by the contractor and the principal representative. The projects will address various renovation needs, including accessible restrooms and showers, stair and handrail modifications, door and hardware updates, emergency lighting, exit signs, smoke detectors, and fire annunciators. The state is seeking detailed, transparent documentation of labor-related expenses to ensure accurate project costing and financial management.
