Budget estimate

$100,000 – $600,000

Based on comparable school‑district A/V contracts, annual spend on equipment rentals and staging services typically ranges from low‑six figures to mid‑hundreds of thousands of dollars. Assuming the district will require multiple events per year (average 12‑15 events) with each event costing between $8,000 and $45,000 for equipment plus labor, the total contract value could fall roughly between $100,000 and $600,000. Factors influencing the final amount include the number of events, size of staging required, and any premium for short‑notice or after‑hours support.
