Budget Estimate (AI):

$500,000 – $1,000,000

Based on the information provided, it is difficult to estimate the exact budget for this contract. However, considering the contract duration of 5 years and the requirement for a fixed cost per gallon of propane, a rough estimate could be made. Assuming an average annual consumption of 100,000 gallons of propane, and a fixed cost per gallon of $1.50, the total budget for the 5-year contract could be around $750,000. However, this is a very rough estimate and the actual budget could be higher or lower, depending on various factors such as the actual cost of propane, the efficiency of the fueling station, and the number of vehicles being fueled.
