Expected annual
$282K
One-time setup
$97K
Annual recurring
$266K
Personnel
3
Initial one-time setup is modest (~$97k) driven by HVAC modification, lab testing and enclosure/workstation purchases; ongoing annual costs are larger (~$266k/yr) dominated by staff wages (assistant, monitoring, research), contingency, and legal/cover costs.
