Budget estimate

$600,000 – $900,000

The budget for this opportunity is estimated to be around $200,000 to $300,000 per year, based on METRO's average annual advertising sales over the last five years, which ranged from $208,483 to $263,398. The total budget for the three-year contract term could be around $600,000 to $900,000. However, this is just an estimate, and the actual budget will depend on the contractor's ability to sell and maintain advertising on METRO's fleet of revenue vehicles.
