Budget estimate

$120,000 – $250,000

The contract is for a single, fully equipped 44‑passenger bus. Market prices for comparable transit‑type buses range from roughly $120,000 for a base model to $250,000‑$300,000 for a fully optioned unit with advanced HVAC, seating, and safety features. Considering the extensive specifications (dual compressors, high‑capacity alternators, air‑suspension, extensive interior amenities), a realistic award amount is likely between $150,000 and $250,000. Factors influencing the final price include whether the bus is new or a refurbished existing unit, optional upgrades selected, delivery distance, and any subcontracted work.
