Budget estimate

$50,000 – $150,000

No specific contract value is disclosed. Based on typical municipal interpretation rates (≈ $100‑$150 per hour) and an estimated need for 200‑300 interpreter hours over the 25‑day window, the total spend could range from $20,000 to $45,000. Adding platform licensing, project management, and administrative overhead could push the budget to roughly $50,000‑$150,000. Therefore, a reasonable estimate for the award amount is between $50k and $150k.
