Budget estimate

$20,000 – $50,000

Based on the estimated demand of 4‑6 cylinders per month, a typical ultra‑high‑purity helium cylinder costs roughly $300 USD, delivery/trip charge about $50 USD, and monthly rental around $20 USD. Assuming an average of 5 cylinders each month, the annual spend would be roughly 5 × ($300 + $50 + $20) × 12 ≈ $222,000. However, the City has indicated a small‑scale, temporary need and may order fewer cylinders or negotiate lower rates, so a realistic contract value likely falls between $20,000 and $50,000 per year. This range reflects variability in order volume, negotiated pricing, and the fact that the contract is a blanket order without a fixed total amount.
