Budget estimate

$5,000 – $20,000

The RFP does not disclose a contract value; revenue will stem from beverage sales. Assuming an average price of $9 per drink (as referenced in a prior vendor’s bid) and an estimated 600–2,200 drinks sold during the 5‑hour event, gross sales could range from $5,400 to $19,800. After accounting for licensing fees, staffing, equipment, and profit margins, the net earnings for the vendor are likely to fall between $5,000 and $20,000.
