Contract value

$50,000

Because the award amount is listed as $0.00 (likely a placeholder) and no pricing details are provided, an estimate must be derived from the scope and duration. A typical municipal entertainment services contract for a mid‑size recreation complex, covering multiple live performances over four months, often ranges between $30,000 and $70,000 depending on the number of events, talent fees, equipment rentals, and staffing. Assuming an average of two events per week at $2,500 per event (including artist fees, sound/lighting, and labor), the total would be roughly 2 events × 4 weeks × 4 months ≈ 32 events × $2,500 ≈ $80,000. Adjusting for potential cost efficiencies and the public‑sector budget, a reasonable ball‑park estimate is about $50,000.
