Budget estimate

$2,000,000 – $5,000,000

The solicitation does not disclose a total contract value. However, a full‑scope A/E effort for a large correctional facility in an urban environment typically runs between $2 million and $5 million in design fees, depending on the complexity of security systems, MEP integration, and the extensive regulatory coordination required. The lower end assumes a modest fixed‑price lump sum; the higher end accounts for additional hourly work, extensive stakeholder coordination, and the mandated DC residency and subcontracting compliance costs.
