<br />4.9.4.2 Construction Worker Spending
<br />The construction work force was assumed to consist of 90 percent itinerant specialized transmission line
<br />construction workers and 10 percent local hires. Itinerant workers would move to the area for the length
<br />of their employment at the site, living primarily in transient accommodations (hotels and recreation
<br />vehicle [RV] parks), although a few may seek rental housing. This is an important consideration because
<br />wages paid to itinerant workers would mostly be saved with some of the per diem expenses (for lodging,
<br />food, and miscellaneous) paid for by the construction contractor(s). The itinerant workers' saved wages
<br />would ultimately be spent outside the Study Region, where the itinerant workers usually live, with only
<br />day-to-day living expenses being spent in the Study Region. Locally-hired workers would spend higher
<br />proportions of their wages in the Study Region.
<br />In sum, local spending by transient construction workers and site visitors is estimated to total $1.2 to 1.7
<br />million during the year of construction (assumed to be mid-2017-2018). The assumptions for local
<br />spending are shown in Table 4.9-3.
