Budget estimate

$500,000 – $2,000,000

The solicitation does not disclose a contract value. Comparable fare‑collection system contracts for regional transit agencies typically range from $500,000 to $2,000,000 depending on system complexity, licensing fees for multiple fiscal years, and required training services. Given the inclusion of two fiscal‑year licensing periods plus a one‑time training component, a reasonable ballpark estimate would be between $0.5 M and $2 M. Factors influencing the final amount include the depth of integration with Trapeze, the scale of user accounts, and any optional support or maintenance tiers the vendor proposes.
