Budget estimate

$500,000 – $1,500,000

The solicitation does not disclose a total contract value. Based on typical industry costs for a 168 MVA autotransformer de‑tanking, oil processing, comprehensive electrical testing, and component replacement, similar projects range from roughly $0.5 million for a basic service package to $1.5 million or more when extensive repairs, specialized oil analysis, and full documentation are required. The presence of a 20 % contingency and monthly progress payments suggests a sizable budget. Therefore, a reasonable estimate for the contractor’s earnings is between $500,000 and $1,500,000, depending on the extent of any additional repairs and the rates applied for labor, equipment, and testing services.
