Contract value

$350,000

No explicit contract value is disclosed. For a municipal utility locating contract covering a mid‑size city like Dover, typical annual spend ranges from $150,000 to $500,000 depending on project scope, mileage, and reporting requirements. Given the award to a well‑established engineering firm and the likely need for city‑wide coverage, a reasonable midpoint estimate is approximately $350,000. This estimate assumes a one‑year performance period with a fixed‑price arrangement covering labor, equipment, reporting, and data deliverables. Factors influencing the value include the number of utility networks, the geographic area, required accuracy, and any additional GIS integration services.
