Contract value

$240,000

The total value of the contract can be estimated by calculating the total cost of all items. Based on the quote tabulation section, the total cost for each vendor is: Border States Electric: $57,300.00 + $69,240.00 + $79,860.00 + $78,960.00 = $285,360.00 RESCO: $55,560.00 + $67,860.00 + $76,380.00 + $91,440.00 = $291,240.00 Progressive Communication Supply: $48,126.00 + $52,278.00 + $67,032.00 + $71,808.00 = $239,244.00 Graybar: $58,020.00 + $66,000.00 + $79,320.00 + $89,400.00 = $292,740.00 WESCO: $61,005.00 + $69,110.40 + $84,696.60 + $92,571.60 = $307,383.60 The lowest total cost is $239,244.00 from Progressive Communication Supply, but the contract was awarded to multiple vendors, so the total value of the contract is likely higher. A more accurate estimate would be to calculate the total cost of all items for each vendor and then add them up. However, this calculation is not provided in the contract document. Assuming an average cost of $60,000 per item, and 4 items, the total value of the contract would be around $240,000. However, this is a rough estimate and the actual value may be higher or lower.
