Budget estimate

$150,000 – $600,000

No contract value is disclosed. Based on typical public‑sector lighting retrofits for a medium‑size facility, the total project cost (and thus contractor earnings) likely falls between $150,000 and $600,000, depending on fixture count, labor rates, and disposal fees. This estimate assumes 100–300 fixtures, average LED unit cost $200–$400, and labor at $50–$80 per hour over a 2–3 month schedule.
