Budget estimate

$150,000 – $500,000

Based on typical government contracts for armed security, rates usually range from $30‑$55 per hour per guard. Assuming a contract requiring 3 guards for 8 hours per day, five days a week, for an estimated 6‑month period, total labor hours ≈ 3 × 8 × 5 × ~26 weeks = 3,120 hours. At $30/hr the low end is about $93,600; at $55/hr the high end is about $171,600. Adding equipment, administration, and overhead could raise the total to roughly $150,000‑$500,000. Therefore, a realistic overall contract value is estimated between $150,000 and $500,000.
