Sohail:

I agree with your proposal to develop a change order to compensate contractor to provide a 3rd party security service for the work site.  It would appear that the contract and bidding documents did not provide any information that would have indicated to the contractor that it would need to include the cost of a 3rd party security service (particularly, a security service approved by the National Guard).  At most, the contractor was advised that it would have to provide security in accordance with KAUST standards.  Therefore, I concur with your suggested approach to compensate the contractor.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thanks,
Glenn
