It costs between $3k and $25k to clean a meth house. So, the question is...how much would be charged for ebola house? I noticed that none of the first dozen companies they called for the Dallas episode....would discuss the matter, no matter what the cost. Nor the one company that did accept the deal....were not acknowledging what they charged. My humble guess is that they quoted off some ridiculous price of $10k for two guys and eight hours of work each, and the county authority agreed.
This would bring me to the real topic of discussion here....just how many hazmat companies out there would even consider this and just how far can you push the pricing scheme? A typical hazmat worker makes $18 an hour. For Ebola? I doubt if anyone will discuss work like this unless you get up to $40 an hour minimum per individual. Imagine trying to clean up an entire passenger plane? Figure at least two-hundred man-hours of work.
My way of thinking...cleanup for an Ebola incident should be cheap.
Somewhere around the price of a 5 gallon jerrycan of gasoline and a book of matches.
You could get fancy and use a flame thrower, but that would run up the cost. Definitely be more fun though.
