Most contractors evaluate PLAs by looking at wage rates.

**And that’s rarely where the real cost shows up.**

Research — including findings from RAND — **has linked PLA projects to overall cost increases exceeding 20% and extended timelines**. Much of that impact comes from cost drivers contractors don’t fully model during bid strategy.

PLAs can quietly affect:

*   Bid margins through dual benefit payments and fringe duplication
*   Workforce flexibility through hiring hall requirements
*   Administrative overhead and certified payroll complexity
*   Subcontractor participation and staffing control
*   Compliance exposure beyond standard prevailing wage
