Budget estimate

$1,000,000 – $5,000,000

The budget for this opportunity is likely to be in the range of $100,000 to $500,000 per year, based on the anticipated annual rent payment of no less than $100. The total budget for the 10-year contract period could be in the range of $1 million to $5 million. However, this is a rough estimate and the actual budget could be higher or lower, depending on the specific terms of the contract and the performance of the vendor. Factors that could influence the budget include the number of kayaks rented, the rental fees, and the operating costs of the concession.
