Budget estimate

$2,100,000 – $3,000,000

The budget for this contract could be estimated based on the average cost of security guard services per hour, which can range from $15 to $30 per hour. Assuming an average cost of $20 per hour and 24/7 coverage with 4-6 guards, the total annual cost could be around $700,000 to $1,000,000 per year. For a 3-year contract, the total budget could be in the range of $2,100,000 to $3,000,000. However, this is a rough estimate and the actual budget may vary depending on the specific requirements of the contract and the qualifications of the contractor.
