Contract value

$2,500,000

The solicitation does not disclose a total contract value. However, Attachment A lists existing garage advertising agreements ranging from $500 to $3,950 per month. Assuming roughly 30 parking locations (a typical mid‑size city portfolio) at an average of $2,000 per month, annual revenue would be about $720,000. Over a three‑year term, that yields roughly $2.2 million in gross advertising fees. Since the vendor retains a portion of net fees and the City receives a percentage, the contract’s financial exposure for the City is likely in the $1.5–$2.5 million range. Accounting for additional costs (insurance, bonding, administration) a conservative ball‑park estimate of the contract’s total value is approximately $2.5 million.
