Budget estimate

$2,500,000 – $10,000,000

The budget for this contract is likely to be substantial, given the 5-year term and the requirement for the vendor to pay a percentage of gross receipts into a reserve account. The exact budget will depend on the vendor's pricing and the amount of business generated by the concession. A rough estimate for the budget could be in the range of $500,000 to $2 million per year, depending on the vendor's pricing and the amount of business generated.
