Budget estimate

$50,000 – $200,000

The budget for this opportunity is likely to be moderate, given the scope of the concession operation. The State of Illinois will likely pay the vendor a percentage of the revenue generated from the concession, or a fixed fee for the term of the contract. Based on industry standards, the budget could range from $50,000 to $200,000 per year, depending on the specifics of the contract and the performance of the vendor. Factors that may influence the budget include the number of visitors to the park, the types of concessions offered, and the operating costs of the vendor.
