Budget estimate

$800,000 – $1,200,000

No contract amount is disclosed, but the RFP notes the contract will be ≥ $100 k and requires a full‑time, 24/7 armed officer. Assuming an hourly rate of $30‑$45 (typical for armed security in Texas), annual labor costs range from $260 k to $395 k. Over the three‑year base term, total spend would likely be between $800 k and $1.2 M, plus any optional renewal. Hence the estimated budget range is roughly $800,000‑$1,200,000.
