Budget estimate

$500,000 – $2,000,000

The solicitation does not disclose a contract value, but given the extensive list of tasks (dry‑docking, hull and deck preparation, extensive painting, mechanical repairs, and specialized work) the total cost is likely to run in the mid‑six‑figure to low‑seven‑figure range. A comparable vessel renovation project often costs between $500K and $2M, depending on material selection, labor rates, and the extent of unforeseen repairs discovered during dry‑dock.
