Contract value

$1,600,000

No contract value is disclosed. Estimating based on typical staffing levels for a venue of this size (≈150‑200 staff per event) and an average hourly rate of $30‑$45, the annual labor cost could range from $1.2 million to $2.0 million. Adding equipment, uniform, insurance, and overhead fees (roughly 10‑15% of labor costs) pushes the total toward the $1.5 million to $2.3 million range. A reasonable ballpark estimate for the base one‑year contract is therefore approximately $1.6 million.
