Budget estimate

$500,000 – $2,000,000

The estimated budget for this opportunity is difficult to determine without more specific information about the scope of work and the vendor's proposed pricing. However, based on the fact that the contract is for an initial term of three years with two one-year options to renew, it is likely that the total contract value will be in the range of $500,000 to $2 million. This estimate is based on the assumption that the vendor will need to provide a significant amount of equipment, personnel, and services to support the UAS/DFR program, and that the City of Chula Vista will be paying for these services on an ongoing basis. Factors that could influence the likely payment range include the vendor's level of experience and expertise, the complexity of the UAS/DFR system, and the level of support required by the Chula Vista Police Department.
