Y = Percentage of unit price designated by the Contractor as representing labor costs;

Z = Percentage increase in wages paid to State employees performing similar work;

FB = Additional costs for those benefits required by statute, directly related to the allowed increase in wages paid to the employees;

A = That portion of the contract amount representing wages (this amount is X Times Y plus any increase(s) in contract unit bid price resulting from increase in State wages).

The increase shall be reflected in writing in either a contract amendment or in the supplemental agreement issued for the extended period of the initial contract.
