Budget estimate

$200,000 – $500,000

Based on the description of the opportunity, it is difficult to estimate the exact budget, as the contract will be awarded based on a daily rate with an estimation of the number of days needed to complete the project. However, considering the scope of work and the fact that the contract is for a period of one year, with the option to renew for up to four additional years, the budget could be in the range of $200,000 to $500,000 per year, depending on the number of days worked and the daily rate. Factors that may influence the likely payment range include the complexity of the inspections, the number of poles and equipment to be inspected, and the level of expertise required for the inspections.
