Budget estimate

$5,000,000 – $10,000,000

Based on the scope (30 buses, 24/7 operation, hourly rates for hundreds of thousands of service hours, fuel adjustments, insurance, and a $250 k letter of credit), a reasonable ball‑park for the total contract value over the 5‑year base term is approximately $5 million to $10 million. This range reflects typical loaded hourly rates for airport shuttle services (roughly $35‑$70 per hour) multiplied by the estimated service hours (≈ 800,000 hrs) plus ancillary costs for maintenance, GPS systems, and contingency allowances.
