Budget estimate

$200,000 – $500,000

The RFP does not disclose a contract value. Based on typical firewall deployments for a district of this size (11 buildings, full hardware, installation, testing, documentation, and a three‑year support warranty), a reasonable estimate ranges from $200,000 for a basic solution to $500,000 for a more robust, enterprise‑grade implementation with premium support. Factors influencing the final amount include the chosen firewall vendor, the number of devices per site, any additional networking gear required, and the level of managed services included.
