Contract value

$1,500,000

No explicit contract value is disclosed. Estimating based on typical staffing levels for a venue of this size: assume an average of 40 staff (ushers, security, parking attendants) per event day, each billed at roughly $30 /hr, working an average of 8 hours per day. If the venue hosts approximately 100 event days per year, annual labor cost ≈ 40 × 30 × 8 × 100 = $9,600,000. However, many days will require fewer staff (e.g., small meetings) and the contractor supplies equipment and uniforms for a flat monthly fee ($500 × 12 = $6,000). Adjusting for lower‑intensity days and potential subcontractor discounts, a realistic ball‑park range is $1 M–$2 M per year. Selecting the midpoint yields an estimated contract value of about $1.5 million for the initial one‑year term.
