Budget estimate

$500,000 – $800,000

The solicitation does not publish a total lease price, but the contract notes an estimated per‑acre value of $112 for each acre leased. Summing the five lease years (≈1,200 acres) yields roughly $134,000 per year, or about $650,000 over the full five‑year term. Adding the allowable in‑kind service credit (up to 10 % of lease value) could push the total to near $720,000. Therefore a reasonable ball‑park for the contract award is $500,000 – $800,000, depending on the final per‑acre price the winning bidder proposes and any additional services rendered.
