Contract value

$950,000

The RFP includes a Cost/Fee Proposal Form estimating 6,000 labor hours. Assuming a senior communications professional rate between $130‑$180 per hour (typical for Alaska‑based specialist work) yields a base fee of $780,000‑$1,080,000. Adding standard overhead, profit, and a modest fee margin (≈10 %) brings the total to roughly $900,000‑$1,200,000. Considering the contract’s multi‑year nature and optional renewals, a midpoint estimate of about $950,000 is reasonable.
