Budget estimate

$0 – $500,000

As an RFI, there is no direct payment for submitting a response; however, the information gathered could lead to a subsequent procurement for an AI‑based cost estimating solution. Similar state‑level transportation AI projects often range from $100,000 to $500,000 in contract value, depending on scope, data integration, and customization. Therefore, the low end of potential earnings is effectively $0 (no payment for the RFI itself), while a future award could be in the mid‑hundreds of thousands.
