This is a Direct Labor Burden Calculation form issued by the State of Colorado Office of the State Architect, State Buildings Program, for the Department of Human Services (CDHS) Project 2024-057M23 involving the installation of IP cameras and infrastructure at CMHIP and SCYSC facilities. The form is a required submission that must be completed and agreed upon by both the contractor and the Principal Representative prior to execution of any construction agreement. The document establishes the methodology for calculating labor overhead percentages, which will be incorporated into Exhibit A of the contract and used for all future Change Order Proposals under SC-6.312. Contractors and major subcontractors—defined as electricians, plumbers, mechanical contractors, excavators, millwork, and concrete specialists—must each submit a separate Labor Burden Calculation Sheet.

The Labor Burden Calculation Sheet requires contractors to itemize the percentage of total labor costs attributable to employee benefits, including payroll taxes, pension costs, health insurance, dental insurance, life insurance, and other specified costs. The State reserves the right to require backup documentation confirming all information included in the calculation. The form template shows a total labor burden percentage field, currently listed at 0%, which indicates that the actual labor burden percentages have not yet been populated and will be determined through negotiation between the contractor and the State Principal Representative. This calculation is essential for establishing the baseline costs used in any subsequent change order evaluations throughout the project duration.
