Explanation:
This is NOT the rigging itself, but a charge for the work in putting it in place. I only post this because your posting has a capital "A", so it should be a noun. The other answer posted may be correct, but only if your posting is a verb. No, I'm not splitting hairs, I see this as an important grammatical difference.
