Budget estimate

$500,000 – $1,000,000

Based on the information provided, it is difficult to estimate the exact budget for this contract. However, considering the scope of work, which includes operating three fixed routes on Saturdays, providing dispatch services, and maintaining vehicles, the annual cost could be substantial. Assuming an average hourly rate of $50-75 per revenue hour, and considering the estimated 1,326 revenue hours per year, the annual cost for the services could be around $66,300 to $99,450. Additionally, the contract may include other costs such as fuel, maintenance, and staffing, which could increase the overall budget. Given these factors, a rough estimate for the total contract value over three years could be in the range of $500,000 to $1,000,000.
