Budget estimate

$80,000 – $150,000

Based on typical rates for auxiliary security at large public events, a vendor might deploy 30–50 guards at an average $180‑$250 per guard per day for roughly 10 days (the typical length of the Ohio State Fair). This yields an estimated contract value between $80,000 and $150,000, depending on the exact headcount, overtime, equipment, and administrative fees.
