Under the contract with the Convention Center management company, the federal government will pay $197,356 a day for facility rental along with additional fees of up to $113,550 a day for meals and bottled water, assuming the facility reaches its capacity of 1,000 children and 400 staff.
The contract also contains an estimated $858,000 in fees that would be owed to the city of Long Beach for use of services from the Health Department, Fire Department and Police Department including the resources to manage any potential protests.
