Contract value

$482,839,808

The documents state an aggregate contract ceiling of $482,839,808 for the entire five‑year period. No separate values are assigned to individual vendors, and the amendment adds two vendors without increasing the ceiling. Therefore the best estimate of the contract’s total value is the stated ceiling amount. This figure reflects the maximum spend the district expects to incur across all vendors for bus transportation, charter trips, and attendant services.
