Budget estimate

$5,000,000 – $10,000,000

The estimated contract cost is not explicitly stated in the document, but it is mentioned that the Independent Government Estimate (IGE) was based on actual costs to previously performed work on the existing contract. A Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) from the incumbent provided a cost estimate for budget purposes, but the exact amount is not specified. However, it is mentioned that the cost of transitioning to a new contractor would be between $2.1M and $3.2M, and would require a 12 to 18 month timeframe. Additionally, the government would incur an additional $900K in program management and technical oversight to manage the transition and mitigate the risk of catastrophic safety failures. Based on this information, it is estimated that the contract value could be in the range of $5 million to $10 million per year, considering the costs of operation and maintenance of the C/RAC facilities, as well as the costs associated with transitioning to a new contractor.
