First-year capital and reserve costs (including SRA procurement and a multi-year reserve) are large — one-time expenditures totaling roughly $12.65M, while steady annual operations run about $4.66M/yr. Major drivers are SRA procurement and procurement overhead, the long-term contingency reserve and decommissioning planning (one-time) plus recurring MTF/security staffing, SRA maintenance, and frequent secure transports/liaison costs.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / Guard 6 [#6] Dedicated on-site guards (minimum two per shift, three shifts/day) — headcount used in staff wage estimate.
Mobile Task Force Agent 12 [#7] MTF custody & transport rotation personnel assigned to regular transfers (12-person rotation) — headcount allocated in staff wage estimate.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges, enabling midpoint estimates, but major uncertainties remain (SRA procurement wide variance, clandestine GoI costs, and rare high-cost incidents). That yields medium confidence in the numeric estimates.
