Budget estimate

$730,000 – $1,460,000

The estimated budget for this contract is difficult to determine without knowing the exact number of guards and hours required. However, based on industry standards, the average cost of armed security services can range from $25 to $50 per hour per guard. Assuming an average of 10 guards working 8 hours per day, 365 days per year, the total annual cost would be approximately $730,000 to $1,460,000.
