Budget Estimate (AI):

$1,500,000 – $5,000,000

The budget for this opportunity is not explicitly stated in the document, but we can make an educated estimate based on the scope of work and industry standards. The contract is for an initial term of three years, with the option to extend for two additional one-year terms. Assuming an average annual revenue of $500,000 to $1,000,000, which is a reasonable estimate for a county-level inmate telephone services contract, the total budget for the initial three-year term could be in the range of $1,500,000 to $3,000,000. If the contract is extended for the additional two years, the total budget could be in the range of $2,500,000 to $5,000,000. Factors that may influence the likely payment range include the number of inmates, the volume of calls, and the rates charged for the services.
