Contract value

$500,000

The solicitation does not disclose a contract ceiling, but we can approximate the contract value based on typical hourly rates for unarmed security guards in Alabama ($15‑$25/hr) and the hours outlined. Continuous 24/7 coverage at the MIT site alone would require roughly 24 hrs × 365 days ≈ 8,760 guard‑hours annually. Assuming a modest staffing level of 2 guards (to allow rotations) that equals ~17,520 guard‑hours. Adding night‑shift, museum, and event hours (estimated another 5,000‑7,000 guard‑hours), the total annual labor hours likely fall between 22,000‑25,000. Applying an average rate of $20 per hour yields a contract value of roughly $440,000‑$500,000. Considering potential overtime, holiday coverage, and administrative fees, a round‑ballpark estimate of **$500,000** is reasonable.
