Budget estimate

$300,000 – $600,000

Assuming an average propane price of $2.50‑$3.00 per gallon, the annual fuel volume (~105,000 gal) yields roughly $260k‑$315k in revenue per year. Over the base two‑year term that translates to $520k‑$630k, plus additional fees for ancillary services (furnace restarts, spill cleanup, etc.). Therefore a realistic budget range is about $300,000 to $600,000 for the contract duration, depending on pricing option chosen and service utilization.
