What is behind the Logan number
Labor is 40% of the midpoint bill here, against 41% nationally. The mix of trades behind this job is paving, surfacing and tamping equipment operators (40%), construction laborers (30%), operating engineers and other construction equipment operators (30%). We weight each trade's local median wage by that share and compare it with the national median. In Logan the blended ratio comes out at 0.95. BLS does not publish this trade for the metro, so we used the Utah statewide median.
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Logan is at 96.4 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $2,950 nationally becomes $2,850 here (midpoint, 600 sq ft). Permits follow the all-items index of 95.9: $50 to $190.
Data note: 40% of the labor weighting for this project uses a statewide median because BLS has no published metro figure for that trade in Logan. The wage table below marks each row.

What local crews earn in Logan
The labor line is built from BLS wage data, one trade at a time. This job draws on 3 trades. We compare each trade's local median with the US median, weight the ratios by how much of the job each trade does, and apply the blend to the national labor cost. For Logan the blend is 0.95.
Paving, surfacing and tamping equipment operators (47-2071) carry 40% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Logan metro, so we used the Utah statewide median: $23.49 an hour against $25.64 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $22.08 and $30.03 an hour.
For construction laborers (47-2061, weighted 30%) the local median is $22.19 an hour, which is in line with the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $18.88 and $26.60 an hour. BLS counts 650 of them working in the area, 97.3 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 70.5), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Operating engineers and other construction equipment operators (47-2073), 30% of the weighting: a median of $27.39 an hour, 5% below the US median of $28.78. The middle half of them earn between $23.37 and $29.46 an hour. About 180 work in the metro. That is 26.9 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 30.7 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (paving, surfacing and tamping equipment operators) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $220 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $45. That is a swing of roughly 0.9% to 4.3% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Logan has 66,800 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 271st by size among the 300 metros on this site.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |

Logan weather and the asphalt driveway calendar
Climate numbers on this page come from NOAA's 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals at the nearest suitable station, Logan Radio Kvnu (in the city). They are 30-year averages, so any one year can run hotter, colder or wetter.
For digging, grading and setting material in the ground, the comfortable months in Logan are April through October: 7 of 12. Outside them, January, February, March, November and December have an average overnight low at or below freezing (32°F).
In January, February, March, November and December the average low is at or below freezing, which means frozen ground and slower digging, compaction and sod or stone placement. NOAA counts about 166 days a year with a low at or below 32°F at this station.
Logan gets about 17 inches of precipitation in a normal year, including roughly 44 inches of snow. The wettest months are March, April and May (2.0 inches in May). Inside the workable window, July and August are the driest, at 0.5 and 0.6 inches. The station averages about 35 days a year at 90°F or above.
