Budget estimate

$500,000 – $2,000,000

The budget for this opportunity is difficult to estimate without more specific information about the contract terms and the number of years the contract will be in effect. However, based on the scope of the project, which includes the operation of the SkyGlider and Carousel attractions, the budget could be in the range of $500,000 to $2 million per year, depending on the vendor's costs, the number of visitors to the fair, and the revenue generated from the attractions. Factors that may influence the likely payment range include the vendor's experience, the quality of their services, and the level of competition for the contract.
