Budget estimate

$250,000 – $1,200,000

The RFP does not disclose a fixed contract value; compensation is based on a revenue‑share model. Assuming a modest park with 200,000 annual visitors, average per‑visitor spend of $10–$15, gross sales could range from $2 M to $3 M per year. A typical revenue‑share might be 10‑20% of gross sales, yielding an annual budget to the concessionaire of roughly $200,000‑$600,000. Over a 3‑year term, total earnings could be $600,000‑$1.8 M. Factors influencing the final amount include actual visitor traffic, seasonal fluctuations, menu pricing, and the exact percentage negotiated.
