Budget estimate

$30,000 – $80,000

While no contract value is disclosed, typical security guard rates in Virginia range from $20‑$30 per hour. Assuming a 40‑hour week, 1‑2 guards, and a 12‑month contract, total labor costs could fall between roughly $30,000 and $80,000. This estimate accounts for variations in guard numbers, potential overtime, and the mix of armed versus unarmed rates.
