RFP 26-005

Budget estimate

$250,000 – $8,400,000

The RFP does not disclose a contract value. Typical university bus contracts of this scope (multiple routes, on‑demand service, 7‑year potential term) range from a few hundred thousand dollars in the first year up to a low‑million‑dollar total over the full period, depending on fleet size, mileage, and service frequency. Assuming 5–10 buses, average rates of $150–$250 per hour, and annual mileage of 30,000 miles, the annual spend could be roughly $250,000‑$1,200,000, leading to a total contract value of $250,000‑$8,400,000 over seven years.
