Contract value

$5,000,000

The RFP does not disclose a dollar ceiling, but district‑wide marketing for a nine‑college system typically runs in the multi‑million range. Assuming an annual “not‑to‑exceed” budget of $2 million to $3 million for media purchases, agency fees, production, and analytics, the 2‑year base term could be roughly $4 million to $6 million. Adding potential one‑year extensions could raise the total to $10 million at the high end. Therefore a reasonable ballpark estimate for the contract’s value is about $5 million. Factors influencing this estimate include the size of the district, the breadth of services (digital, traditional, multilingual, event production), and typical agency fee structures (10‑20 % of media spend).
