Budget estimate

$5,000,000 – $10,000,000

The budget for this concession contract can be estimated based on the services to be provided, including interpretive tram tours, bicycle rentals, retail, vending, bicycle and hiker pickup, and paddlecraft shuttle service. Considering the 10-year contract period and the variety of services, the budget could be substantial. However, without specific revenue data or visitor numbers, it's challenging to provide an accurate estimate. Assuming an average annual revenue of $500,000 to $1,000,000, the total budget for the 10-year contract could range from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000. Factors that may influence the likely payment range include the number of visitors, pricing of services, and operating costs.
