Budget estimate

$500,000 – $2,000,000

The RFP does not disclose a budget, but comparable regional advertising agency contracts for metropolitan governments typically range from $500,000 to $2,000,000 annually, depending on scope, media mix, and contract length. Assuming a multi‑year engagement with extensive media buying, the award could fall in the mid‑to‑high end of that range.
