Summary of Appendix C-SBP6.18 Labor Burden Calculation

This document is a labor burden calculation form issued by the State of Colorado Office of the State Architect, State Buildings Program, in collaboration with Colorado Northwestern Community College for project EM2624, the Yaeger Structural Stabilization and Repairs. The form serves as a required submission prior to execution of the construction agreement and establishes the methodology for calculating direct labor costs associated with the project. Contractors and subcontractors must complete this form to document the percentage of labor overhead that will be applied to payroll costs, with separate calculations required for each prime contractor and major subcontractor category, including electricians, plumbers, mechanical contractors, excavators, millwork, and concrete specialists.

The labor burden calculation encompasses all employee-related costs paid by contractors on their payroll, including payroll taxes, pension costs, health insurance, dental insurance, life insurance, and other specified benefits. The calculated labor burden percentage must be mutually agreed upon by both the contractor and the Principal Representative, will be incorporated into the contract as part of Exhibit A, and will serve as the basis for calculating any future change order proposals under SC-6.312 provisions. The State reserves the right to require backup documentation confirming all information included in the calculation to ensure accuracy and compliance with contract requirements.
