Budget estimate

$200,000 – $600,000

Because the solicitation does not disclose a total contract value, we estimate based on typical charter‑bus contracts for university athletics. Assuming an average of 1–2 buses per academic year, with per‑trip rates ranging $1,500–$3,000 and roughly 40 trips per year, annual spend could be $60,000–$120,000. Over a three‑year base term, the total award might fall between $200,000 and $500,000, with extensions potentially raising the high end. This range reflects vehicle operation costs, driver wages, fuel, maintenance, and required amenities.
