Contract value

$250,000

The project is a ~10,000 sq ft EMS training classroom. Assuming a typical construction cost of $200‑$300 per square foot for institutional education facilities, total construction could range from $2 M to $3 M. Architectural/engineering design fees for such projects are commonly 5‑10 % of construction cost, suggesting a design services value between $100 k and $300 k. Considering the requirement for comprehensive services (program review, schematic design, construction documents, administration, etc.) and the competitive nature of the solicitation, a reasonable ball‑park estimate is roughly $250,000 for the professional services contract. This estimate accounts for the project's size, complexity, regional labor rates in Arkansas, and the need for insurance and licensing compliance.
