Contract value

$750,000

No contract dollar value is disclosed. City solicitor contracts for municipalities of Dover’s size typically range from a few hundred thousand to low‑million dollars annually, depending on scope (e.g., advisory, litigation, statutory compliance). Assuming a multi‑year engagement (2‑3 years) and a modest annual fee of $300‑$400 k for a mid‑size law firm, a reasonable ball‑park estimate would be roughly $750 000 for the full contract term. This estimate accounts for typical municipal legal‑service rates, the firm’s regional stature, and the absence of competitive bidding that might drive price down.
