Budget estimate

$500,000 – $2,000,000

The RFP does not disclose a contract value. Based on typical state‑funded inmate‑transport contracts—considering the number of releases statewide (potentially several thousand per year), mileage, vehicle requirements, and compliance costs—a reasonable estimate ranges from half a million dollars to a few million dollars over the contract term. Factors influencing the final amount include the frequency of releases, distance to approved destinations, required vehicle types, insurance and CJIS compliance costs, and any performance‑based incentives.
