a contracting employer on a state public improvement project or state highway
project to follow specified bonding, liability insurance, unemployment
compensation and workers compensation requirements as well as provide it's
employees with certain health insurance, safety training and participation in
an apprenticeship program will result in a significant increase in labor
costs on public improvement and state highway projects administered by the

Transportation. The Department of
Administrative and Financial Services estimates that these additional costs
could range from $834,346 to $1,668,692 annually based on the department's
state public improvement projects and the Department of Transportation
estimates a range of $13,000,000 to $20,000,000 in additional annual Highway
