Budget Estimate (AI):

$400,000 – $650,000

Based on the estimated total consumption of 350,000 gallons annually and an assumed average price of $1.50 per gallon, the total contract value could be around $525,000 per year. However, this is just an estimate and the actual contract value may vary depending on the bid factor and other costs. The bid factor is to encompass all costs, including any eligible taxes, delivery, and any State or Federal surcharges, so the actual contract value could be higher or lower than this estimate.
