The initial contract term is one year with up‑to‑four optional one‑year extensions.

Budget estimate

$50,000 – $150,000

The RFP does not disclose a fixed contract value. Revenue is shared as a percentage of gross vending sales, plus service fees. Assuming the City installs roughly 15 locations, each generating $50,000–$100,000 in annual sales, total gross sales would be $750,000–$1,500,000. If the City receives a 10 % share, the vendor’s net revenue from sales would be $675,000–$1,350,000. After deducting product costs, equipment depreciation, and service expenses, the contractor’s profit margin might range from 5 % to 10 % of gross sales, yielding an estimated budget of $50,000 to $150,000 for the first year. Extensions could increase total earnings proportionally.
