Budget estimate

$500,000 – $1,000,000

Based on the estimated number of meals per day, the total cost of the contract can be estimated. Assuming an average cost of $3 per meal, the total cost for breakfast meals would be approximately $207,200 (1,400 meals/day * 44 days * $3/meal) and the total cost for lunch meals would be approximately $297,000 (1,500 meals/day * 44 days * $3/meal). Additionally, the vendor must provide delivery and meals cost, which may add to the overall cost. Considering these factors, the estimated budget range could be between $500,000 and $1,000,000.
