Budget estimate

$15,000 – $30,000

The contract calls for 100 tons of certified hay. Market prices for certified, weed‑seed‑free hay in the Rocky Mountain region typically range from $150 to $300 per ton, depending on quality, packaging, and delivery distance. Assuming an average price of $200 / ton, the total contract value would be about $20,000. To accommodate price variability and potential premium for certification and small‑bale packaging, a reasonable estimate is $15,000‑$30,000. Factors influencing the final amount include fuel costs for transport to the remote ranger station, any required tagging/labeling fees, and seasonal price fluctuations.
