Budget estimate

$35,250,000 – $99,000,000

The budget for this contract can be estimated based on the cost of purchasing 47 buses, which can range from $500,000 to $1,000,000 per bus, depending on the manufacturer and features. With the option to purchase up to 80 additional buses, the total budget could be substantial. Assuming an average cost of $750,000 per bus, the total budget for the initial 47 buses would be approximately $35,250,000. If RTD exercises the option to purchase the additional 80 buses, the total budget could be up to $99,000,000. However, this is a rough estimate and the actual budget will depend on the negotiated contract costs and the pricing adjustements detailed in the Statement of Contract Cost.
