Budget estimate

$50,000 – $150,000

The contract is for a single semester of athletic bus travel, typically involving 20–30 trips with buses ranging from 30‑50 seats. Assuming an average cost of $1,200 per trip (fuel, driver wages, maintenance, and markup), the total contract value would fall between $24,000 and $36,000. Adding administrative fees, insurance, and potential overtime for peak travel weeks could raise the range to roughly $50,000‑$150,000 for the entire semester. The estimate reflects variability in trip mileage, number of events, and service level requirements (e.g., premium vehicles for night games).
