Budget estimate

$1,000,000 – $5,000,000

The estimated budget for this opportunity can be estimated based on the scope of work and industry standards. The cost of mobile video security systems can vary depending on the number of buses, quality of equipment, and installation costs. Assuming an average cost of $10,000 to $20,000 per bus for a basic system, and considering the City of Ames has a fleet of around 50-100 buses, the total cost for the initial installation could range from $500,000 to $2,000,000. Additionally, considering the 4-year contract period with possible renewal, the total budget could be in the range of $1,000,000 to $5,000,000.
