Budget estimate

$2,500 – $5,000

Based on the required 60 hours of service and typical hourly rates for audio‑visual equipment rental ($30‑$40 per hour) plus technician labor ($20‑$30 per hour), the total labor/equipment cost would likely fall between $3,000 and $4,500. Adding the mandatory 1 % administrative fee and modest overhead brings the contract value to roughly $2,500‑$5,000. This estimate assumes competitive pricing at or slightly above the city’s living‑wage minimum.
