Budget estimate

$500,000 – $2,000,000

The RFP does not disclose a contract ceiling. Based on typical university entertainment‑services contracts of this scale (multiple concerts, commencements, and large‑scale productions) and the three‑year term, a reasonable estimate would be between $500,000 and $2,000,000 per year, yielding a total contract value roughly $1.5 M – $6 M over the base period. Factors influencing the range include the number of events, equipment rentals, talent fees, and any optional extensions.
